If I have continuous bookings, I usually leave it in the car, or bring it inside. Weekends vary, roughly 4 - 6 total. = 20 hours per week. HAVE TO keep working on new material. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Nord 6D73/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/ATEM Mini Pro switcher/K&M stand

I really don't play any of today's new songs, even though some of them pretty good ... I just don't see, that even in a venue like the restaurant I sometimes play in, a heavy, bald guy in his mid seventies is going to be appreciated performing an Ed Sheeran song ... The 'new' stuff I work on are songs that are new to ME ... Like the past few days the Nat King Cole song "That Day, Last Summer" has been going around in my head, so I will probably work on that next week ... Although I am not a 'Jazz player' by any stretch of the imagination, I also like to pick up the Real Book and go through songs from there ... _________________________ t.

I’m pretty toasted after dealing with idiot inmates for 12 hours. If a jingle project comes in...that’s my practice time. By the way Mr. Mason...how is the 970 working out? jingleman

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	It all depends on how my health goes. No plans to change right now, but I do get bored pretty easily. There are lots of choices, old and new. _________________________ DonM

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I good steak, a fine wine and a flaming table-side dessert all go together to make a great filter for the music! I can play a hundred songs with girls' names in them and everybody feels special! Throw in Brown-eyed Girl and Wonderful Tonight and they all leave happy! _________________________ DonM

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5520 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I am at one of my three keyboards and SD40 or my pc and tablets at least seven hours a day when I am not playing out. Since I don't chew the same cud twice, I am always looking to improve something. It is either organizing material for a show, learning new songs, improving on registrations, or learning something new about the keyboards. People may say to get a life. Well. this is my life, and I love every minute of it. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact
