Thread Name: How many of us play in a traditional band.
Subject: RE: How many of us play in a tradional band.
I used to play fiddle in a trad quartet - but after I played the same set of reels toooo amny times and the lead banjo player always managed to drink the pay before we got it, I quit - besides I needed to be alone to think for a while - tenor banjos, guitar sometimes a squeeze box. Best band I ever played in was totally off the wall had harmonica, autoharp, 5 string, bodhran, guitar - it was a hot boppin band - but alas we were erazed by a blue grass bunch who bored the ass of the audiences we had gotten. They just moved on in on our little sceene and drove off the people. We played kinda like Uncle Dave Macon stuff. We all just quit. Oddly afterwards the crowds dwindled and we were asked the big Q, why? Found other places to b in - that's why.
