The more I understand the gap between piano and arranger.

That said, I’m certainly no virtuoso on the piano but I have learned how to play chords and bass notes(left hand) on simpler songs. If someone plays a simple song in(for instance) the key of C, I just play along...no programming.

My Genos still does a wonderful job, but there’s no way I can just jump into a song with my Genos without having ‘arranged’ it first.

My cousin makes a very good living with a stage piano, drum machine and mic. He does everything from nursing homes to parties. I’m beginning to understand how that works.
