This is an Arranger Keyboard forum. The vast majority of us play one-man jobs at smaller venues, if we play out at all.
Those of us that do are mostly grizzled veterans who pretty much know what it takes to do our jobs.
The few people who are knocking our little pas, or either non-arranger players, or players who use arrangers as synths or as midi/mp3 players, in bands. They also know what they need.
Doesn't mean we need to trash each others' choices.
I don't want to hire a roadie, and don't want to lug around hundreds of pounds worth of PA gear, so I don't put myself in situations where that is necessary.
Go in peace and carry what you want to, or need to. Doesn't bother me a little bit!
Merry Christmas!
