First post here boys..... so go easy! Pretty much what it says on the tin really...if Detroit are not as active like some of you are saying, then why have they got a full adminstration and 5 capo's. Surely for a family not up to much, thats a bit over kill no?
I would advise using the search function before bringing this up, which will just start an argument with the same people that say Detroit is dead.
They are more active than you think. Also, regardless of numbers they have more admin spots than NY traditionally does, for insulation purposes.
But you obviously have already formed your opinion with statements such as "surely for a family not up to much". You sound pretty confident in this.
Anyway here is roughly how it looks today.
