You're not going to play J. Lewis style on a keyboard are you??? If so you better use weighted keys. His style of playing will destroy a synth action keybed. A Yamah PSR-3000 woudn't last 48 hours under his fingers The Roland G-70, and Tyros 2 keybed might have a fighting chance, but even that's pushing it!

Squeak

If the boards survive the onslaught than he hasn't played like Jerry Lee Lewis, Squeak.

By the way, how are you? Haven't heard from you for quite some time.

Nuff Said !

Taike,
I've been good, just been "really" busy. I've gone back to work since graduating from college. I'm still a full time dad, and homemaker, but I now work at least 35 hours a week on top of that. So my schedule has been really tight lately. Today's my day off

I'm working on the management staff as a part-time shift manager at a well known pizza chain. The place is literally within walking distance from my home. From my driveway to the parking lot by car it takes less than 3 minutes (that's with traffic too.., so I use no gas to get there).... Anyway that job keeps me busy. I wanted to go back to work, even though the wife and I are not hurting for money. Having some "extra cash" isn't such a bad thing either

I was lucky to get a job as a manager based on the times I'm available to work. Plus so close to home. Can't go wrong there, and the perks are great too.

How's that baby of yours doing Taike?

Domino's or Pappa John's ?

Nope, it's Pizza Hut

Squeak, just make sure those "perks" don't make it impossible for you to squeeze your gut behind a keyboard (and still reach the keys) .

good luck

That picture of Jerry Lee shows you can still pound a piano with a gut! Just move the stool back a bit (and THEN kick it over!)

I don't know about stride, but boogie-woogie would (IMO) be probably the best thing to learn to get a basic on some of Jerry's stylings...
