I couldn't agree more on the work ethic issue.As a carpenter and remodeling contractor I ran into it all the time.
What I found over the years was a lot of folks pass themselves off as professionals who are not. Most are amateurs at best. Those folks can get work when things are good but they are usually the first ones out of work when things get tough.
One thing that always pissed me off more than anything was when someone told me they knew how to do something and they didn't.

Unfortunately I have realized that some of my skills have deteriorated over the last few years. Some of my tape joints didn't turn out so well. But it'll pass.

I hope to record some local folks but I'll leave the producing to guys like Mike Dunbar. He's better than I'll ever be.

I'll update.
