C-Flat, band dynamics are indeed interesting. There are four people in mine. I write 90 percent of the material and do 70 percent of the singing. I therefore get deemed the leader.

Arranging is somewhat different for us because we're mostly improvisational and there's very little fixed arrangement on most numbers. When there is, as on some instrumentals, it's worked out by consensus. During rehearsals people get a notion as to what they'll play and they usually play something vaguely related to that notion when it's time to perform.

I keep encouraging democracy and encouraging others to take more of a role. It seems, though, that plenty of people are happy to sit back and leave the driving to someone else. So I keep driving.
