Bruce,
last year, I went from a big full band to a small, half full, sometimes only 
4 people:

I missed the big sound for a while, going to only an acoustic guitar and one 
electric from a full team, but when I learned bass and an excellent drummer 
came, and then an excellent keyboard player all in one year, it got much 
better.
I would rather be needed on a small half full team than on a team where 
there are so many good musicians they don't really need me there.

That is also my feeling that I get more enjoyment out of using my gifts to 
fill a specific need than to have to compete with someone else for a slot.

Also, I grew to love the smaller sound.  I was listening to old tapes of the 
team that was so big, and it was so noisy.  I had to turn them off, I 
remember, opera singers blaring out, vibrato and all, electric guitar 
banging away.  I have gotten used to a sound that is more like you would 
hear on a recording where every sound can be picked out.

 It wasn't all about size, it has a lot to do with the personality and 
skills of the leader and group, but just my input for what it's worth.
