Members pogo97 Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 interesting read and somewhat relevant to this discussion Although the original phonograph was a purely acoustical/mechanical instrument, soon electric technologies improved the phonograph and spawned several other inventions which became indispensable to the fledgling recording industry. Chief among these were the microphone, amplifier, and loudspeaker. Apart from making possible electric phonograph and tape recordings (and thus giving rise to the entire consumer electronics industry), they eliminated the need for large ensembles of instruments to produce large volumes of sound necessary for many public performances. This meant the end of the symphony with its conductor as the standard musical unit. A spin-off of these technologies was the juke box, which made it possible to have music in a bar or nightclub without having to hire a band. These inventions eventually put scores of musicians out of work, and made it impossible as a practical matter for most musicians to earn a living playing in ensembles at public performances. Those that remained could not ignore recording as the key to earning wealth and fame. plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members moogerfooger Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 I played with custom made BTs for years and made a {censored} ton of money with them. for the last year or so Ive gone without them. it limits the type of job i can take but so far I like it better. since I finger pick and play piano my audiences don't suffer from strummers syndrome.

I had to fire the guys in the band, they were doing drugs.... and they wouldn't give me any. ba dump dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Dey Posted December 20, 2012 Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 Anything besides strumming ACDC? Bajazz sings it better than the original, but frankly I never liked ACDC's singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve mac Posted December 20, 2012 Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have two gigs on Christmas Day In my Christmas set I am playing Winter Wonderland, I have the sound of sleigh bells at the start of the intro. Now I could of course go and buy some and maybe tie them to my shoe, but of course remember not to move my foot until I have untied them. But far easier to just record them and have them come from my ipad at the press of a button. First of course I will stop the whole flow of the gig to inform all of the crowd that the bells are pre recorded and not coming from bells secretly secreted about my person. And whilst at it I can tell them that I use an electric tuner rather than tune by ear as I wouldn't want to deceive them into enjoying themselves. If people don't want to use tracks then flipping don't, if you do then flipping do. Vive la Difference. Merry Christmas to all Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cephus Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 Originally Posted by Bajazz Hit me! I'm a sucker for swagger. I watched some of your videos. I thought they were OK.

If people here say you are below par, then I'd say that is more of their opinion of the manner by which you've conducted yourself than the actual music. Bajazz is within the bell curve of solo performers IMHO. I kind of hate it on internet forums when people post videos and the response is more according to the guy's personality than the video itself. I have seen alot of really lame vids that were met with much encouragement because the guy who posts it is a big sweetie. I've also seen alot that were not half bad that are torn to shreds because the guys who posted them are cocky or somehow "colorful". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
