You mean like minded musicians who aren't total flakes , who have 
similar taste in music, musical goals, free time from family and job 
commitments, who compliment your skill set, who play at roughly your 
level of proficiency, who live in your vicinity...

And speaking of vicinity.  Is it easier to get band jobs or solo and duo 
jobs?  Many places just don't want to give up three or four tables from 
their restaurant in order to pay a band of four or five people.  Loosing 
income from only one table is more beneficial to the bottom line and 
lets you pay less money for a solo or duo act that you can squeeze off 
in the corner where they can't be seen or heard very well by any but the 
most adjacent customers.  This is all too common.

Cheers,
