Now trained musician is another thing, but most great innovative musicians the world has ever known have not always been the most or best trained. IMHO
I think when I say I am an entertainer not a musician I would be closer to the mark if I said my voice was my instrument. And my keyboard is a background.


Mike, I agree wholeheartedly with your statement...as a singer, I do use my voice as an instrument but to me a musician is someone who can make music while playing a hard instrument, a classical pianista is so
wonderful to watch and listen to...oh I could only dream....that's why at my old age
I'm getting into learning to play the piano/board....I started with the 2100 in Dec
04 and quickly went to the 3000 by Jan 05...
now I'm waiting for my Tyros that should be here in 2 weeks, I'm now like a Sponge Tony
trying to absourb all I can as quick as I can
I've been blessed with my voice and have done really well with it, it's all natural, I
sing all the songs in the original keys but I want to learn how to play, be a real musician. I hope that you can understand this
I never thought that at 65 years young I would be learning to play .....

Tony
