mirza ...It is wrong to paint a whole group of people with your broad brush insult ... that is as bad as me saying all jazz musicians are drug addicts !!!
MANY good musicians have turned to arrangers due to NEED - not a need to 'hide behind' an arranger keyboard, but a need to continue working as a full time musician, BECAUSE OF the fact that venues will not pay for for bands or combos anymore ...when that happened I took the position that if ONE musician was going to be paid, it might as well be me ...
