Absolutely correct, but thanks to them there are many Karaoke wannabe singers 
working in the places that used to have an OKOM Band, and surprise surprise, 
these clowns are making about the same amount of money as the typical OKOM 
band playing clubs.

The club owners don't know or give a damn how good or bad the entertainment 
is they are in the alcohol business not show business, and as long as people 
come in and drink they don't care what keeps them in there ringing the cash 
register.

Like Karaoke singers about as much as I do Dj's playing cds for money outside 
a radio station and replacing working bands.
