I fully agree ... this was the first year since 2000 that I played my usual Christmas gigs without my technics kn6000 ... I got plenty of compliments, but not one person asked if I had a new keyboard ...
And for the record, chas, depending upon the venue, - restaurant, dinner party, etc. I often play instrumentals for most of the first set - bossas, light swing, etc. from the "Real Book", and will often mix in an instrumental during the night ... I am NOT a jazz player, but I do play some 'jazz' tunes ...
