Donny, if you re-read my post, I refered to it as a 'group', not a band. There are a number of 'small' group combo situations where the arranger keyboard is idea. I occasionally (when budget permits) bring on a female vocalist and/or solo horn/guitar player, or even a bass player, on arranger gigs. This brings added visual appeal as well as providing a kind of live musician interaction spark that's just not possibly when playing solo on the arranger alone. I appreciate the arranger for providing this kind of performance flex-bility. - Scott
