is that you become a musical "snob". Tonight I found myself being more
or less forced to listen - endure would be a far better term - a
bluegrass band composed of a bunch of rank amateurs. And I do mean rank.
It was awful. Awful. The fiddler at least knew the tunes, and he took
up most of the solo space, but he couldn't keep time, couldn't keep in
tune, and had no real idea how to work with other members of the band.
The banjo player seemed semi-competent, but was drowned out by the
fiddler. The 2 guitar players stayed completely in the background so
you could not hear them. The bass player could not be heard at all.
Mercifully, I only had to "listen" for 30 minutes. No wonder I don't
go to hear acts with which I am unfamiliar.
