Does all this ring a few bells?


Andrea (Dreamer): I assume names were withheld to protect both the innocent & guilty parties.

Interesting that though this forum is titled the "General Arranger Keyboard" forum, rarely has there been any interest in discussing or sharing arranger keyboard "playing" techniques, or even members actually posting arranger keyboard music played & recorded by them either. This always baffled me because I thought that a true musician desired to continually improve their musicianship & playing skill no matter what age or level currently at, and I had hoped this forum to be an inspirational catylst and exchange of ideas to achieve this. After reading this . . .

it confirms what I suspected for a while now, that a many here share Cgiles's view as well, and the reason I now only drop in here occasionally to discuss non- music related matters.
