Wherever I perform I play for "DANCING" every song that's MY bag always no matter what genre I'm into at the time, from Ballroom to R&R, Disco, Latin, Salsa, Polka, Ballads, etc,......500pp or NH, Restaurant, Club, or anywhere I gig doesn't matter to me....
Great Vocals coupled with a good strong FULL Band backing,
People are People.

Diki, Most of us perform very few, if any, big band standards. Most everything is late 50s to early 80s. These are the songs they enjoy and danced to. And, if you look at the age makeup many of the residents in the nursing homes, assisted living centers and retirement communities are in their mid 70s to late 80s, and some younger. Take a good look in the mirror my friend - you're not that much younger than the younger retirement community residents - at least physically.  Cheers, Gary

Being a newbie you can discount my 2 cents & observations but please, no lower than MAP, I don't want to lose my franchise  . Wasn't this about a "questionable" demo? IMO the guy doing the demo is/was a "Feature Preacher". "I can push this, that, more of this , and more of that, touch this, touch that (maybe you shouldn't touch this or that right now  )'. SO WHAT, how does any of that benefit a BK-3 performer? To me that is where the demo was off track. Re: NH, Residential Communities. It is a calling and if you get it you get it. We are fortunate enough to be able to do what we like at this time in our lives and I believe that's a good thing. Just my babbling a little, now I can get a beer and go to bed

Just my babbling a little, now I can get a beer and go to bed That was exactly my point. The Demonstrator did not actually demonstrate instrument to its best light or demonstrate how useful the iPad would actually be to a musician. However if all you want to do is pushbuttons ,that was a great demonstration!
