I wouldn't want to play with Keith's sideman...they charge too much!

Seriously, Diki, I do get lots of time playing with some very good musicians, on a regular basis.

The arranger is just another tool...and, to me, just as much fun as playing within a group...in fact, I'm going to use it in a group situation...those SA/SA2 sounds should be lots of fun and very expressive.

It's like a mechanic refusing to use a screwdriver because it is electric...

PS...No, arrangers aren't the perfect replication of playing with sidemen, but, I can certainly live with it.
