So, it's less that they can't, but she feels like they shouldn't add anyone without removing at least one of the current players, with a focus on the extra bits...Buddy, Rashwn, and/or Tim. And she likes these guys overall, appreciating on some tunes far more than other tunes, but she'd be good if they all left and a violinist replaced them and it was the core 5 sound again. I agree with her (and not because she's my wife).
I agree that the band would sound better (less wall of soundy) with, and I would prefer, less members up there (if it was up to me, Tim to go first, Buddy second), but if you're giving me the option of adding a competent violinist to the current lineup or no violin - I am taking the violin and running...
