Hey Chas - why so angry, man? I didn't attack you. I offered up info that you might not have, that's all. I've never seen a million bucks, but I know it's possible to attain. (well, not for ME)Don't be so quick to defend the big stars either - talent has never been the driving force behind show biz success. In today's world of music - the success is based on a very tiny demographic of teens who do most of the buying, and the standard changes every 6 months. Look at William Hung, and how does Andy Richter even HAVE a job on TV? It's called Show Business, not Show ART (Miss Piggy), and I've made a comfortable living in the biz. I'll never be rich, but I'm blessed to love each day I go to work. I loved it in my pre-auto days and I love it now. Technology keeps us fresh, and I love every new toy I buy.

The fact that I offer advise from the trenches doesn't make me an "oracle" ... just a well seasoned gear-head who has tried almost every brand and model of keyboard that has been on the shelves. Inquiring minds want to know ... so I share.

Thanx for the good wishes at the Crab Trap - it's one of the best music jobs I've ever had. Great clientele, awesome management and terrific food. I make good music - they pay good money. Win/Win!

Merry Christmas, or whatever makes you merry.
