The measure of success for any performer/vocalist/musician/entertainer comes from their audiences.

There are loads of great musicians in the world, many of which have mastered their instruments to the point where every note is meticulously played to perfection. And, while those individuals should be recognized for their achievements, the vast majority of them will never make a living in the world of music.

They are not entertainers--they are not performers--they are not vocalist--they cannot read an audience--but they can really play well.

There is a small, select, group of individuals that can boast a very high levles of achievement in all the above categories. There is a larger contingent that fits into at least two or three of the above categories. If you fit into just one category, you can still be successful, but only if you are surrounded by others that have mastered the other categories.

Liberache will always be remembered as a great entertainer! He was an outstanding musician. But, if he would have just played the piano without saying a word he would have likely starved to death. Without his extravagent wardrobe, rhinestones and accompaning musicians and singers there would not have been a show.

This is show biz folks, and this is an arranger keyboard forum.

Cheers,

Gary
