Fran I have considered that option. As far as being functional it sure would be.

However, the resort is hiring me as a full blown 1 man band and Mc/entertainer. They are paying me lots of money to do it. The money spent for equipment cost and upkeep is accounted for when I'm quoting them fees for the contract.

To go the Mp3 route would get the same job done to a point. But the perception of having a full blown entertainer/musician gives my job way more value.

So I am prepared to replace equipment as needed without worry. But if I can save a few bucks here and there... A bonus

They can't tell the difference between a s900 and a T2


Just wanted to give reasons for not going the ipod route

"I hope i didnt cause any hurt feelings about who should have a backup, and what the right thing to do is...yadda, yadda..etc"

Mikey, no hurt feelings on THIS forum! If I were in your situation I would have at least two backups in place. In fact I no longer keep an extra arranger, but I have access to several if I have an hour or so. I do have the laptop loaded with stuff for an on-the-job emergency.
For those of us that try to make a living playing music, these instruments are our tools, and not the place to cut corners!

Price is important, but not the ONLY thing. I like to deal with somebody I know will back up the sale with service and technical help.
I still recommend George Kaye. Wouldn't hurt to call him.
