Hi Mike,
Just checked in and I see you asked me a question. Here is the short answer - I always lift my fingers from the keys when changing chords. Now for a more detailed answer. Unlike most keyboardists perhaps, I play all chords in the root position. I like a lot of bass and I like the base to be the root of the chord rather than the fifth or some other note of the chord structure. It just provides a fuller sound and sounds better to my ear. It is a personal choice. It does mean I move my left hand around a lot when, for example, I have to play a Cmaj7, A7, D7, G7, and back to Cmaj7. I've used the more conventional approach, keeping the left hand within a narrow range of keys and playing inversions, but it is not my usual way of playing. Again, as I said, it is all to do with sound rather than ease of playing.
On a different note, Mike. I was stationed east of you at Griffis Air Force Base near Rome, New York in the 1960s. Central New York is beautiful in the summer and Oh so cold in the winter. Never shoveled so much snow in my life!
Happy keyboarding! Chuck
