Well, Chas, I'm not going to try and make you a fan of arranger keyboards. Oscar was, for sure...he wanted them for recording, and trying out compositions.

And, I am, unabashedly, a big fan as well.

No, my friend, if you don't see their value as another tool in the tool box, I doubt very much if I could convince you.

I'm secure enough in my own playing skills that using an arranger doesn't make me feel one bit less a keyboardist/musician.

Actually, it makes me feel more progressive.

Happy playing.

Ian
