I just joined a "2nd time around band" which plays for dances at our culteral center.I was a bit reluctant since I play a KN7000 and the rest are saxes,horns,drums,and bass. Also,I was afraid that there might be some resentment toward an arranger keyboard.

I decided to let her rip only when they have special solo's,which the people love. The rest of the time I fill in with organ,vibes,accordian, or whatever is needed.

The band has come over and congratulated me and I think the reason why is because I bolstered the entire sound,and don't step on any toes and respect the old players. If I had come accross as a hotshot,it would have been different I'm sure.

I do my solo gigs,but, it is great fun,and much easier turning the reins over for a change.

I would say go for it.
