....if you can play. Yeah, I know that most of you already know about this guy but every time I listen to him it just re-enforces Paul's signature note, "It's not the keyboard, it's the musician" (or words to that effect). Forget the usual complaints; "it sounds too robotic", or "it's too repetitive", etc., etc. Nothing robotic or repetitive about this performance. As someone pointed out earlier, there's nothing wrong with a rock-solid precision beat; YOU can supply the syncopation that gives it it's 'groove'.

The lesson here, as far as I'm concerned, is, in every performance, put the emphasis on what YOU'RE doing, not on what the Arranger is doing. Make what the Arranger is doing a STARTING POINT. YOU add the 'special sauce'.

I used two pots, a garbage can and a hum-a-zoo, and played for two hours and got nowhere. (smile)

I'll never be an "arranger keyboard player"
I'm a musician/singer/entertainer, and I sometimes use arranger keyboards as a tool to provide accompaniment for my show. I also use many other instruments, like guitar, banjo, uke, sax, Rhodes, and real pianos ... "arranger player" is just not the right way to describe what I do. The kb is just something that I USE, not something that defines me, or my style.
Rant over.
(whew)

....mentioning that someone is an arranger kb player is becoming almost as bad as saying the[b] K-Word
