Donny, I am well aware of what's happening musically...I travel all of a fair sized territory, and, as I said, many pro arranger players that are gigging are forced to resort to DJ'ing in order to compete, although there are some still utilizing only the arranger.

My type of gigging was primarily restaurant background, and still appears to be in good demand.

Again, because most arranger sales are to home players, my clinician end of the business is hardly affected.

That's why I took time off from playing when I did, as I am doing a restructuring...I planned for this ahead of time.

My only performing, for the time being, and while I relocate, will consist of Yamaha demos, clinics...plus playing for myself and for friends.

I also have other projects planned for the winter, especially recording, utilizing my bought and paid for Tyros4, so I'm doing okay, and glad to be out of the trenches.

I'll leave the DJ'ing to others....not my thing at all; I'm a player first and foremost, and DJ'ing ain't playing.

Life is good,

Ian
