This forum would have it that way, I am afraid.


sorry about the off topic posts!

When my father was younger he was in a local band that had their own TV cable TV show. They entered a national Talent competition called Opportunity Knocks. However the drummer got so nervous he drank himself senseless and that was the end of that.

After that he played mostly solo (except for some gigs with a dance band), but back then it was an X5, leslie and a Powerhouse drum machine. No arrangers to speak of.
