I hear Ray Steven's new venue is taking Nashville by storm. Thanks, Tracy... for sharing the video with us. Very entertaining. Surprised to see he's using My Space. Maybe worth checking it out again. Sounds like he's found a new home in Twang-Town. Good for him 'cause it's a great place to live... and sure beats working out of a suitcase. Good luck, Mr. Jonethis!

I would have expected it to be monophonic like bass pedals. I wonder what kind of hardware / AI module is being driven by that bass keyboard? Does it have lowest note priority? [I think MIDI Solutions sells a box that can break out the lowest note.] Edit: Also, not sure about the ergonomics of his right-angle setup. (Not what the piano teacher taught me, but hey, can you argue with success?) Why not just use an 88-key performance synth, split the keyboard and use MIDI out?? Edited by TedS (10/27/19 03:11 PM)

Better still, replace the grand with a Disklavier. Midi in/out on an acoustic. Can’t be beaten.

Gunnar Jonny Senior Member Registered: 04/01/01 Posts: 4389 Loc: Norway	Originally Posted By W Tracy Parnell Since we are critiquing videos, I thought I would post this and see the reaction.... Not the type of music I listen to very often, but I really did enjoy watch and hear this presentation. Imo this is a real pro performer, great singer and musician, and the video is very good made as well. Thanks for sharing. 👍 _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

rikkisbears Senior Member Registered: 12/22/02 Posts: 6021 Loc: NSW,Australia	Originally Posted By W Tracy Parnell He's originally from the small city where I live and that is another reason I got interested in him. However, my wife wants to see a taping of "Larry's Country Diner" which is usually on the nights Stevens and his show is off I believe. So I may not get to see him anyway. Goodness gracious what’s wrong with her. Haha. Wish we had great clubs like that to go to, Hubby would have no choice but to take me. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Cupid shuffle..and Fireball? Always looking at the bright side, eh Donny. I'm guessing HIS audience isn't interested in the electric slide. Just a guess. chas PS: I'm surprised Uncle Dave didn't pick up on your "WHAT DOES HE DOES"....guess he's a little gunshy right now .
