BTW, Donny, just how would you describe your 'playing style', and what part of it wouldn't a CS help? I just find it hard to envision a situation where a CS would be of no use.

Don't tell us you are a 'One Finger' guy...!!

Or maybe you ONLY play the first verse and chorus of any tune..?

I appreciate that you feel you don't need one (or couldn't use one), I am just curious as to WHY... And also curious as to whether you have tried using a CS, or are you just rejecting it out of unfamiliarity? There are loads of features on arrangers that make you go 'why on earth would I need this?' (dual sequencers on Korg's, multi-pads on Yamaha's, etc.) and until you try them, you'll never know. The CS is VERY much like that. Until you've used one, it doesn't seem to make sense. Once you have, it's hard to go back to NOT using it!

I remember you posted that you also played 'Accordion,
Drums, Percussion (Timbalis, Conga, etc) Guitar, Bass, Harmonica, and Alto Sax'. Do you actually play any of them on the gig? Wouldn't you like to?
