Just got home from the boat (sailing yacht), went through the thread again, then poured some Jim Bean Honey Bourbon in a 12-ounce glass filled with ice cubes. Then I went back to listen to Marco again, noted all those automatic things he relied heavily upon, break buttons, variations, multi-pads, automatic, exact tempo and neat, synthetic instruments. Great things that are primarily on an Arranger Keyboard. Granted, he a very accomplished player, which I never claimed to be - Hell, I'm just a hack entertainer that made hundreds of dollars while playing an arranger keyboard and singing in front of audiences up and down the East Coast. That's what allowed me to retire, buy a sailing yacht, and sit here and drink bourbon. Guess I must be in the pro category as well, but didn't make Fran's list, but that's OK, too.

Bottom's Up!
