Hi Diki,
First thanks for the reply - I thought it was very well stated and right to the point. Perhaps the real problem is my anal approach to having everything just right before I take it on a gig. It has been years since I gigged seriously but my calander is beginning to fill up rather fast as word gets around that I am playing again. That means not enough time to do the things I want to do with my keyboard to get ready for the gigs. I also haven't done much to learn how to get the most from my PSR3000 and that seems to be the real secret to becoming a real professioal with the arrangers. I hope others jump in here - it could be a real interesting thread.
Thanks again Dikifor your thoughts.
