It occurs to me that folk and acoustic groups may be less formal than amplified bands.This may be due to the fact that many acoustic performers are solo acts who hook up with other players for mutual benefit.Players in electric bands,like mine,are more like individual gears fitting together to form a unified machine.This fact may also suggest that acoustic groups are more democratic,and nobody needs to be the boss to assure that the "machine" functions in synchronicity.Is this in fact true?
