I use sequences so as to play my sax. I probably play my sax as well as anybody here can play their keyboard and maybe better. Does that make me a cheat. Some may be surprised to see me play the keyboard and say wow! You're a Sax man!

I have about 7 great Ray Charles midi files that sound just like the record and I enjoy singing Ray Charles more than any other entertainer, so I use them. However, I do play the keyboard along with them and play an improvised solo on most everything I do whether it's the Sax or the Keyboard.

Look at all the folks on TV making a fortune faking strumming a guitar. And many that can strum can only do it in the key of E. Ha! Ha!

If you're just doing Karoake then you're a fake musician. If you play live most of the stuff you're doing yourself and use a super midi file here and there, I see nothing wrong with that.

Probably the ones that are most insulting in this respect are the worst players. I'll put my sax playing against any body here with their keyboard playing. With the exception of Mycoy Tyner, Wynton Kelly, Oscar Petersen, Bill Evans a hand full of others if any of you guys are on this site. They don't count in this challenge.

So shut up! and go make a living like these good people on this forum entertaining with their equipment.

How much money a year are you complainers making doing musical entertaining??? Not anywhere near what Uncle Dave, Donny, DonM, Scott and others are making. I know for a fact that DonM has made hundreds of dollars and I can't count as high as the amount of money Dave pulls in and he can't even carry a tune in a bucket. Got em' again. I love ya Dave.

Some can play, some can't and out of the ones that can play, some can swing and some can't. Some have it and some don't. We all have a good idea of where we fit in. So, other than the ones that can't play at all and are faking it 100%, let's keep putting up with one another and learning to improve ourselves and quit sounding jealous.

Like I said I'm not jealous of Dave and he makes 5 times the money that I do and he can't carry a tune in a bucket, but he sure can sing.

I bet Dave, Donny, Scott, and DonM could just stand in front sing and not play any instrument and make a living.

Boy! I need to quit here. I am getting jealous, envious and suffering strife as I write. Guess I'm just another weak human. Boy I hate when I get like this.

I can also lay more brick than all of you guys here on the forum put together. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I also challenge any one here on the forum to nine ball anytime anyplace. Now ya'll have something else to think about. Oh and the loser pays for my round trip ticket to anyplace you want to meet to play some nine ball. Boy my feathers are up. I'll be OK in an hour or so friends. I'm going to get my Prozac now.
