Don,

hmmm. I guess I'm going to change my mind and keep all MY secrets to MYSELF !

Actually I don't think about how or when I do these things either, at least not until I consiously decided to initiate this topic. Most of us seasoned players do all this subconciously, but I think it's good every once in a while to take a look and analylize what we've been doing all along (in our sleep) . Kinda provides a fresh perspective, and helps some of the newer arranger players out along the way too.

I personally don't think I need a NEW keyboard, but perhaps just a FRESH perspective playing the one I got, afterall 95% of the music should be coming from US, not the arranger. - Scott
