Donny: I used to have some streaming video clips on my website but I removed them because they were dated and I haven't had time to create new ones... but I'll give it some thought.



Let's see - I currently use a 9000 Pro arranger with the PLG150-PF piano card in it mostly. At one time I used a two-keyboard setup similar setup to what you are proposing with a Kurzweil PC88mx and a Roland EM-2000; but the 9000 Pro is much much easier to carry and use, plus I think it looks better visually that my former two-keyboard setup. I play both by ear and I read music, about 50/50 each. My music is full piano style with backing MIDI files and/or arranger accompaniment, althought I do also play some songs with either electric piano or a nylon guitar lead. I use midifiles more than arranger accompaniment for backing. It's worth mentioning that I also play gigs where a grand piano is provided and in that case I use a laptop for midi file playback.

The songs I play are along pop/jazz lines and I go for some pretty familiar stuff with, what I hope is, unique arrangements. I guess my style would be called contemporary. My songlist ranges from Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Duke Ellington to Sade, Sting, and Seal along with the ever-necessary Billy Joel and Elton John tunes. It depend on the age group of the audience a lot.

Some places I play provide a PA and at others I use a Motion Sound KP-200s keyboard amp. There are some samples of my live music on my website (that probably need updating): http://www.hiltonheadmusic.com/. Good luck with your instrumental gig... let us know how it goes.
