Thanks Broadway Actors and Stage Hands

Post by Larry Miller »

....for walking out in sympathy with the musicians. It seems the producers of some Broadway shows want to use canned music. Maybe there is some hope to keep live music.....alive!

Reminds me of club owners who hire karaoke guys instead of bands. Seems like a similar theme, only on a higher level. Image

Maybe if some of those producers and club owners got a P-3 or P-4 micro-processor implanted in their frontal lobes, the reality of it all would become much plainer to them.......

I can think of any easier access spot to do the implanting...

Its a great thing that the bean counters couldn't get rid of the musicians.

Its also a great thing that the forum wasn't in charge of what happened !

I don't follow, Bob - I didn't read any particularly dumb 'posts' in that thread - what was your point?

Roger,

The majority of posts that stated a clear opinion about who was right or wrong in the dispute took the side of the producers on that thread.

I did not mean to insinuate that it was dumb.
