Well, and Buffy Sainte-Marie too. And then there's Winona Ryder...I'm not sure which instrument she favors, but I don't really care. |

18 Oct 09 - 01:37 PM (#2747275) Subject: RE: I play with Myself and I am proud of it From: Stringsinger Aside from the silly analogy to masturbation, I think there is a point here. Often, the soloist in the music business is ignored in favor of bands (louder, bigger) or never given credence unless they develop a kind of public "buzz". A personal statement by a soloist is a necessary pursuit. Often a vision for a song or concert gets obscured by "too many cooks". I would like to see more soloists and less bands. Certainly, there is a place for both. A soloist can bring to a performance an original and unique vision. |

18 Oct 09 - 01:42 PM (#2747285) Subject: RE: I play with Myself and I am proud of it From: Little Hawk I would also like to see more soloists and less bands. Communication is clearer with a soloist. |

18 Oct 09 - 03:06 PM (#2747366) Subject: RE: I play with Myself and I am proud of it From: Rasener You have to balance it with your audience. I get more people generally with a band than a solo performer. We are talking 60 people versus 100 for a band. My main guests go like this for the coming gigs Solo act Two duo acts Four piece band Two duo acts Five piece band Duo Two duos Solo and three piece band Two solo acts Solo act Solo act That takes me up to August 2010 |

The word was that he played 99 tunes that recording session before needing to change hands. |

Unfortunately, when you play by yourself it often seems like you're playing only for yourself. (A second for the suggestions above that "the crowd" likes big groups and bigger noise.) John |
