Pickins is few and far between here. I can't buy my way into a band here. Way too many guitar players and not enough places to play. I don't play live gigs anymore.

I understand, but don't let it discourage you in ANY way.  When I first walked the halls at Berklee in the 70's, the talent just sitting on the floors, leaning against the walls practicing before a lesson or ensemble...or just a class, was truly a humbling experience.  The drop out rate was huge....either due to people that just left and went on the road, or the rest were just intimidated.  I choose to hang in there, and was rewarded with 8 incredible semesters that shaped my entire life, from then on.  IF you compare your abilities to others, you'll always find someone better.  Remember, there are the Segovias, Methenys, VanHalens, etc, etc  It doesn't end.  Start your own band if that's what would float your boat.....or enjoy music forever on your level.

What about Tina Turner and the Ike-ettes singing background on Zappa's "Overnite Sensation" album? They had some serious skills - listen to Montana for instance. Apparently Zappa paid them $25 per song (under orders from Ike).

Thanks for the heads up. My family watched this last night and my daughter got to see some singers she's only heard me talk about. Lisa Fisher, for example I've seen live 3 times with the Stones and Cindy Mizzell (spelling?) I saw with Steely Dan a couple of years ago...Great stuff! Thanks Dave.

I loved 20 Feet from Stardom. Great to see background singers getting some recognition!

I checked it out. Cool stuff. I have a buddy that lives that life touring with Brian Wilson. He got to do the 50th anniversary Beach Boys tour. I got the full VIP treatment when they played Red Rocks. My little guy got to go to the sound check: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3701546291295&set=a.1059099111767.2010771.1054576307&type=3&theater

 Imagine "Gimme Shelter" without the female vocal - quick, who sang that?
