Spalding, I love your post. It is the lack of imagination and not the instrument that gives an arranger it’s so called a bad rep.

I was tuning a piano in a high-end country club. I heard that were looking for a piano player for their dinning room. When I told them, I played a keyboard they said no, they wanted a piano player. I asked them to give one night, I got an OK.

I turned my Kn7000 into a piano. Every instrument in the styles, except the drums and bass, were replaced by a piano. What they heard was soft drums, a gentle bass, and piano. They replaced me after fours years, the powers to be wanted to see a piano in the dinning room.
