I couldn't agree with you more Stan. I made many attempts to try to keep my pop/prog band together by tayloring the music to what people seemed to want to hear, but in upstate NY at the time people who paid to get into venues that played live music most likely wanted Country or would rather not even hear live music (they want to buy beer and try to get laid). In the end we started to realize that the more successful we were the more unhappy we were. Finally our drummer quit to join one of those country bands... and then I bought an Ensonic TS-10 (synth with sequencer on board) and a JamMan, so in a way it was the best thing that could have happened. I've honestly never been happier making music and I don't really miss the live audience much. What I do find I miss is interation with other musicians, but I'm lucky to have found a fellow looper in SF to jam with.
