On of my close friends had a choir when he married... you know, one of the typical soon-to-be-wife questions: "shall we have the archbishop, and a choir and someone to throw rose petals to the guests, darling??". asked in a "if you say no, you cheap bastard, then you are going to be in deep sh_t" manner.
I didn't pay very much attention up to the point I looked to see where the chorus was located.
I was astonished to see only ONE guy having a microphone, and no place where the choir would hide. I went closer, and he had a very little (maybe 3 1/2 octaves, small keys) keyboard in fron of him, in the place where they usually keep their books. It had some kind of cloth over most of it, doing a very good job of disguising it.
This cheater
was singing (sometimes humming, complimenting the priest's psalms) in the microphone and the little gizmo provided the harmonies, and it was sounding VERY good, and of course he was surely paid the amount you would give to a choir!!!! Talk about lost jobs!!!!!!
I have no clear recollection, but I think I saw Korg written on it. Never looked it up.
