I maybe could add as a side issue. My non musical sister's only kid, is now a not too bad bass player. Has his Masters, teaches, and is a full time muso.
Was bass player for The Whitlams the year they won the three ARIAs 1998-9.
I am inclined to agree with Mike's suggestion stats can often be influenced by rexpectations.
Are certainly often manipulated deliberatly in fact.
I drew that conclusion after very close study of one of our leading market stats anaylist bodies.
But they are thought provooking stuff.
And yep Welcome to the forum.
Glad you enjoyed Esperance too. Is a nice little place to be for me.
