Hmmmm, ten years?
I'll be using the same thing I use now......the same thing I used 20 years ago!

1) A good mic
2) Something to play bass with
3) A solid drum pattern generator
4) Something cool to bang out chords with.

That's all I've ever needed or wanted. I buy the new stuff to stay up with my competitors, and keep myself amused, but if it all went south tomorrow .... I'd sing, play LH bass over drum tracks and make my own chord arrangements while my (former) competitors watched my dust, crying about the state of electronics and why the new "whatchawhooziee" is falling short of their desires.

Seriously ..... I could live very nicely without any auto arranger features or sequences, but the current audiences I play to seem to require more than that to stay attentive. I'd have to relocate or retrain some clients' thinking, but hey - that's why I became an entertainer in the first place.....I wanted to share what I knew and taylor it into a package that the public would love, and love to PAY for !

So, bring on the newest, baddest, greatest digital revolution we've never dreamed of....I'll still be singing, playing and people watching ... just like always !

This may shock some of you to hear from me, but it's really never been about the gear.

It's about what I can do WITH the gear. Odds are - if I'm happy .... my audience is too !
I've always said that from the stage -
"I have the best seat in the house!"
