I agree but as everyone well knows.... Today DJs have certainly Deluted live music for real musicians... And sadly it is getting worse regarding that.
DJs only hurt BAD, or lazy musicians. There’s room for almost any entertainer that’s willing to put in the work, as long as they do the job that’s offered. Here’s my recipe for success:
Don’t play jazz at a Parrot head bar, don’t play Al Jolson for millennials, and don’t ignore the audience ...
Stay fresh, play your strengths, exercise humility, work the room, and you’ll be just fine.
