Brian in the jobs market folk advertise when they have vacancies usually they are open to all...... anybody can apply.... sometimes for applicants there is a minimum standard to meet...... but that does not happen as you know in the music biz......and in all fairness you cannot put your hand on your heart and say that the best suited and most qualified get the best gigs.....I think it only right that we question how the marketplace operates and voice our opinions.....mutual backscratching and keep it in the family is rife in the industry.....AND minimum qualifications and standards are often forgotten.....who you know counts more often than what you know. Now I am not naive to say that it does not happen in other businesses but heck the music biz is a law unto itself and pretty much a closed shop to outsiders....so much talent is wasted because it is never given the chance.....meanwhile we get the same rehashed crap because blinkered vision third raters call the shots.
