Chas I just meant that there are some people who always look down upon anyone that doesnt play a single SOLO instrument void of any electronic accompaniment...
such is why arranger players are so called "frowned upon". I would think it takes much more learning to play a arranger correctly with all that's involved then just an organ, piano, guitar or a solo instrument of any kind. Lets face it we're all becoming dinosaurs & trying to exist in the music world....versus the DJ driven electronic musical world which is saturating and overcoming it all very rapidly. So we try everything to hang on the the "Old Days" & find a place for what ever we play in to days world.
