Why are so many satisfied with mediocre live music? I'm serious. The
Skirvin, about a year ago, was hiring musicians. Now it's hiring people
who can barely play a few chords and almost play Billy Joel's "Piano Man".

During the 50's the 70's you could hear a quality band any night of
the week and that included pop groups like Maya. Anyone at any
age could enjoy the music and dance with their date. The Burton's
are about the only "real music" band in town.

Years ago any place you went in Bricktown was becoming the same. 5
years ago you could hear quality jazz groups playing at Maker's or Mickey
Mantle's.You could dance with your date (even same sex) and not worry
about it. Now all you can expect is non-jazz musicians trying to play jazz
tunes without a clue as to what they're doing. I'm serious. Who can
dance to that noise unless they're so drunk they can't possibly know
the difference?

What's happened? Has the young crowd become so dumbed down that
they don't the difference between quality music? What's the deal?
