Hi.

On the upside, if live playing becomes somewhat of a novelty, real music
lovers will pay a premium to see real talent.
 
Supply and demand.

Ah, I just watched the whole thing.  I'm a little reassured that its at
least aimed at folks that want to practice with it.   That's totally cool.
Its just like using a ultra customizable Jamey Aebersold, +1 type of thing. 
Like a lot of things coming out today, I think they're all great tools and
can be very effective if used in the right way.  Its just a little scary to
think of all the ways it could go wrong.
     Phil, I think you got it when you said that people will want to see
real musicians as a special event.  That is both scary and sad for me.
