Eddie, Chico, Armando, and all others. Thanks for the nice comments.



Zalman. Thanks.



Zalman! Congratulations! you win the grand prize for observation. I was really beginning to wonder WHEN someone would finally NOTICE this. Indeed I included a guitarist with me on this gig. Though he's outside of the camera range, we was seated, & playing directly behind me. Because we had no chance to rehearse (last minute scheduling conflict), there was some difficulty in determining 'on the fly' whether he, I, or both of us, were to play melodic fills on this tune. One thing we must learn early in this biz, is that 'no matter what', you keep going, and don't let unexpected glitches throw you. The show 'must go on', and most of the time, the audience never notices. I think this video clip has effectively demonstrated this point, as considering all the other replies, you were the FIRST to point this out.

This leads me to an IMPORTANT point I'd like to make regarding live arranger keyboard performance. Here's what I've discovered. No matter how impressive our one man band arranger solo act may sound, the addition of even one other musician (or singer) in the act greatly enhances the audience's acceptance & appreciation of the act as a legitimate form of live acoustic music entertainment. There's a unique spontaneous musical exchange (energy) that occurs between musicians playing together which is absently missing in solo arranger kb performance. And it's this which separates a truly live band vs completely solo arranger keyboard performer, of which audiences (especially American audiences) have grown to expect in LIVE Band music entertainent.
