I keep coming here, and looking at the title line of the forum, and I keep seeing the 'General ARRANGER KEYBOARD Forum' in the header.
So, naturally, I keep looking for when they are going to add 'Karaoke entertainer' up there...

This is not a singing forum (plenty of those). This is not a Karaoke forum (PLENTY of those

). Those who's expertize is in those fields are better served elsewhere. But, curiously, on a forum for players of a certain type of keyboard, it seems that those who's primary skills are not in the field of playing are the ones with the MOST to say, and little patience for anyone else's viewpoint... And often, probably due to their own inability to play well, a lack of appreciation that great playing, all by itself, CAN be great entertainment...
You'll never see Clapton in a chicken hat. Or mugging for the audience. Strangely enough, he can entertain a stadium just by PLAYING. Forgive me when I get frustrated by asinine comments that seem to indicate that 'putting on a show', mugging around and generally ignoring basic playing skills is the ONLY way anyone could possibly get a group of people to like you...
My experience has been that you CAN dazzle a crowd just by playing. And, if you can't, perhaps the solution is to learn to be a better PLAYER, rather than go get a chicken hat...
