So far, I've played 3 Fridays at this new place of mine. Firt 2 nights netted $26 and $34 dollars in "gifts"(tips) respectively. The 3rd night = ZERO. The difference???
I played the PA80 on top of the piano this week. I've said it before - people don't tip keyboard players as well as they do piano players. I thought I'd bring the PA so I could walk some bass lines and have a drum beat handy, but NO MORE !

If they want to see me pound the keys...then I'll gladly oblige. Forget the diversity. Forget the harmonizer. Forget Domani....
From now on, on Fridays.....I'm a piano player with a laptop. Period. It costs me too much $$$$$ to play the Korg.

Anyone else see this trend? I've noticed it for years, and years. Put up a lousy spinet, and you'll make money. Take a Tyros/9kpro/Genesis rack...... you become a "button pusher" to the dining mentality.
Go figure.
