Most bands miss the point that since the advent of MTV in the early 80s, audiences listen to music with their eyes. We morphed from a nation of music listeners into a nation of music watchers. It was even apparent in the middle school where I taught for 20 years.

That just about sums up the Rimington Band circa 1979/80 during my time with
them but, as I recall, it didn't effect the band's ability to play some good jazz nor bother our audiences.
