I think Robert (Messier) is a good player, but I don't think he's a GREAT player. He's bordering on "dry" himself........again, just playing the notes! I've watched him in other video's and get that same feeling........good playing, but nothing that really moves me.

I DO think he plays well, knows his notes, can play many different styles, and is much better than your average keyboard player, but......I stand by what I said..."nothing that really moves me." I don't sense any emotion in his music. You might have a different opinion, but that's how I see it (or rather...hear it).

I watched the Smoke on the Water video (half-through) and the Dueling Banjo's (played on the Yamaha). Great music but too pre-packaged and predictable. Good presentations and good playing ability but more politically correct than entertaining.

That said, I really posted this to hear from some of you...who you've viewed on Youtube that you consider to be a great OMB that really "moves" you....who works every feature on their keyboard....makes you want to tap your feet and makes you feel happy listening to them (and doesn't forget to use "fills")?

I thought about it for a while and I came up with...Jurgen Sartorius (Germany) demo-ing the PA2x. I haven't heard him on the PA3x but I listened to most of his Musikant demo's on the PA2x.

There are two artists that really put me in a good mood when I listen to them: the Jimmy Sturr Polka Band and........Jurgen Sartorius!

Your candidate is......? Your comments are.........?
