I know of all the hassles with a group...arguements about who solos...disagreements about volume, material...personal problems with women, money, alcohol. But, I NEED interaction with other players. That's the good thing about doing OMB stuff. I control the rythem section and horn or guitar players just add the "sweetening". Players of a certain caliber and experience fit right in without a lot of rehersal.

Of course, my "newest group" is my grandson on drums and my son on bass. I do guitar ansd keys. We're not the best in the world, but what fun!
