You know, why anyone is flabbergasted at what someone that even confesses they play little, make no bones that they don't really know how to play many of the instruments they pontificate about (oh yes, there's that word again!), and is primarily a singer who self accompanies as basically as possible says about PLAYING beats me...

I'll hang on every word Donny says about singing, entertaining a crowd, hat choice, etc., (things he has demonstrated great ability for) but let's face it... Shouldn't he be able to PLAY pretty well before we take any of this with more than polite tolerance?

Donny keeps baiting me for an arranger only performance (apparently not happy that the ones I HAVE posted are a little dated )... Maybe before we get worked up about anything else he posts about PLAYING, perhaps we could bait him for some unaccompanied playing, or maybe something in the way of a live band where he is actually playing the keyboard all in realtime, rather than triggering someone ELSE'S playing...?

You know, in the spirit of fairness, and all that...

If I were you, I wouldn't take any of my advice about singing Not my strong point..! (Basically, why I don't even offer the advice or opiion!)

And, listening to Donny's PLAYING (not his singing), I have a feeling the same principle applies..
