Mark can play circles around most of us!
Don,
I'm at a "low point" right now with the music (as most of you already know), so.....true or false, thanks ever so much for the compliment. And I really mean the word
"compliment" as it's coming from one of my peers whom I greatly respect for his own playing ability.
...and it's a good time to say this as maybe a bit of advice for other players. Don't.....as in DON'T.......let a day go by without hitting that keyboard. I've lost a lot of my playing ability from not using it on the arranger....playing the piano or playing the accordion is not quite the same. But, the good news is that, when you re-enter the arranger domain, after a few weeks it starts to come back to you.
