PoohBear Band Etiquette Question - Am I a prat? (69* d) RE: Band Etiquette Question - Am I a prat? 24 Mar 05


LJ - you must be worth your weight in gold at a sound board. It is not easy to balance sound, either at a recording or live gig, so that all are happy with it. One of my pet peeves with almost any group is the idea that all instruments and voices must be at the same (usually too loud) decibel level. I was taught, 100 years ago, in choir, that music is not only the notes, but the silences between them. Also, that to sucessfully be a GROUP, you must listen to the other performers and blend with them. IMHO, a band is not a band, merely a collection of bodies with musical instruments, unless they learn to listen to one another and play together, not just beside each other.
OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. . . time for a little smackerel of something. . . honey, Guinness. . .
Cheers
PB
