I haven't met any serious django heads that don't suck. Solid quarter notes on those guys though. I'll give them that.

What I do is try to be real nice. Be helpful. Care about people. Value their time. Remember things about them and ask questions about the ongoing stories in their lives. Because the people are the most important thing in music.

Also as you get older the shitty people kinda drop off or sometimes mellow out. But the level of musicianship keeps rising. You don't want to be an asshole or incompetent. Sometimes the phone just doesn't ring.
