I like the funk groove. We play funk now, but we have 5 people. It just gets kind of clunky getting 5 people to do one thing. We do ok at it, but I would like to, i.e. all go in one car to a show. Agree on less well paid but close to the heart shows more easily, etc.

I am looking at starting a 3 piece with bass/drums/sax. The sax is the lead singer also. Just think it might be too thin. Guitar seems most versatile for a lead/rhythm instrument. Just trying to formulate ideas.

Yeah, we have drums/guitar/bass/sax/vox, like I was saying in the other thread. For this band would like keys and trumpet also. Sounds great, but just for practice/booking/ mutual train of thought I am considering down sizing. 3 people just seems so manageable.

I like the Isleys.
