Funny, yes, & I'm so stealing that, just to wind up my other band members Truth is however, there may be a glut of fretists, but finding a really good one is as difficult as with any other instrument.
Did some auditions Steve, & it wasn't a good result. Finding a keys player who can actually play piano, especially in my part of the world, is a tough one. All the good pianists are either too straight, or only interested in specific genre's where they typically get to lead. The issues with our keys player weren't playing related, they were personal, & those are at least partially resolved.True that.It's nice when you can find one who's head and gear can fit through the doorway at the same time.Did you find a keys player yet Andy.?

actually you've nailed it larry. but i can't help wonder if the same ratio or similar applies to all the instruments - ergo the cartoon still rings true. if you take out all the good bass, guitar, vocals and drummers... they would still be the same ratio? a US census i once read listed that there are 100 guitar players for each drummer. if one out of 10 drummers are good that means there are 1000 guitar players for each good drummer. how many of those guitarists will be good? 100? 50? 10? 8? perhaps 8 and the good drummer is in each of those 8 bands with those guitarists.
