Is that why you don't perform songs from back then, either? Breathlessly awaiting your Black Eyed Peas medley, in that case...
Anyone notice that it's always those that never played much organ (or piano, or whatever we're reminiscing about) , don't really 'play' so much as 'entertain' and are always the first to admit that they don't even carry the accessories to a gig that would allow one to perform in the same way as the original (bet he doesn't have a swell pedal either
) that are always the first to dismiss the tried and true classics..?
Oh, and it always seems to be 'well, I can't really play that well (but I'll hide it simply saying I'm not really 'into' that type of music) but I'll tell you YOU all ought to 'move on' and leave that music behind (it's boring, really
), while I continue to trot out old Italian chestnuts that predate it by decades'
Might as well 'move on' from real saxophones and trumpets, too, now that cheap arrangers can play them indistinguishable from the original, too (yeah, right!
).
Let's put it this way, Donny... you are a REAL accordion player, yes? So how would you feel about someone telling you that accordions are relics of the past, and modern arrangers are indistinguishable (and more convenient) than the real thing, and you should all just 'move on'?
Thought so...
