Re: ART Regular Output vs. Inspiration
Andy that's it!!! Less is Really More: Being fortunate enough to grow up
during the 70's and early 80's, I noticed a common denominator and
standard among the top bands and solo acts, whether they were the
neighborhood "stars" or national icons regardless of genre is they played
and practiced until they became "one" with their instrument and used their
respective instrument as a tool of inner expression. Pouring more time,
sweat and tears into commanding the instrument freed them from relying so
much on technology to accomplish powerful forms of musical expression. Of
course they were somewhat concerned about tone, effects, etc, but
corporately they were not as "manic" about it as many Professional or
Hobby musicians are these days. Less emphasis on technology +
more on commanding the instrument = Mucho more musical ability and more
artistic output. My musical mantra is to ""Walk softly and Pack a lot
of Ability". Somehow, Someway, I will get there, Someday. Humbly,
-Kevin

Um...
Grateful Dead, famous for their innovative "wall of sound" sound system.
Pink Floyd, innovators of the quadrophonic pa.
Led Zep, well known for the loudest pa.
Bands cared about the live sound in those days.
What is not ever mentioned is that live sound in the mid 70's
was generally much better than it is today,
nowadays gigs aren't about that at all.
