It took nearly a half-hour to read the 63 posts above. Now I'm going to take my home keyboard out and do a professional performance. I'll probably use just a couple fingers for some chords, then switch to four fingers for others--you can do that with home keyboards. I'm going to play some old songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, most will be upbeat, but I'll probably play some slow stuff too. I'll give the AD an invoice, then we'll sit in her office and set up another 9 jobs for the remainder of the year. Pro players have to do these things or they don't get paid. And if they didn't get paid, they wouldn't be classified as a pro player--they would be a home player, even if they played a Steinway with all their fingers.

When I get home I'll fire up the PC and while it boots up I'll probably mix a tall glass of Kickapoo Joy Juice. Both home and pro players, using both home and pro keyboards, are allowed to do this. It has become a daily ritual before clicking on the shortcut to the Synthzone.

Cheers,

Gary
