Yes, but at Disney World and other big venues, you KNOW there are backing tracks. They don't try and HIDE it. There is no band in sight.

This guy and other arranger keyboard players who pretend to play are trying to hide the fact that they are not playing. I'm not saying faking is a bad thing...I'm just saying "he's not playing".

Playing Chords is a LITTLE more than playing nothing.

To each his own...as my father grew old, he lost the ablity to play live, and used Midi files to entertain himself and others. He knew it, and we knew it, but we acted like we didn't. He was happy. Of course for most of his life, he played live, and didn't have to fool anybody. I just wanted to point that out, that midis have a place and purpose.

Use what makes you and others happy.
