If those audiences ALL would rather hear LIVE, then why are so many DJs and KJs booking most of the American Legions, VFWs, Moose Lodges, Elks and wedding halls? You would think that if their audiences wanted LIVE, those places would all be booking full bands - THEY'RE NOT!

Faking it! Are you kidding me? Oh, I forgot, you consider arranger keyboard players NON-musicians if they utilize all the features such as onboard and homemade style files, vocal harmonizers, instrument effects, etc... Lets see, if I were to use my PSR-3000 as just a piano, and play it strictly as a piano, which I have on some songs that I felt sounded best that way, then I would be a REAL musician. I guess when I was playing my 12-sting Yamaha and using a Roland programmable drum machine, I was faking it. And, I guess I'm really faking it because I add some reverb and EQ to my vocals. I should be singing dry with no effects - then it would be REAL! WELL, BS Charlie Brown! Sometimes you have a way of just pissing people off with your negativity pertaining to damned near every subject or piece of equipment.

I need a Margaretta - See Ya!
