“Are Arrangers really headed for the refuse heap”?
I apologize for saying this but I feel it is part of life.
Are Arrangers really headed for the refuse heap, no but arranger players are.
It is the player that has dated the arranger keyboard; the same way that the organ players dated the organ.
It is part of life – my friend use the term; “The wheel turns”. How true -- but not sad. The imagination of a musician dies first; that does not have to be. To sit with;– “If only it were this way”. “If only this could change then I would be alright”.
I’m still playing my keyboard – programing all my songs into my Pa4x – built add-ons, and I have not played a job in almost three years. The joy is in me and it seems to be all over what I am doing.
Just sharing my feelings, John C.
John, ...when the enjoyment of sitting down & playing for yourself ends it's all over,....
