That little lady makes daddy proud...daddy's no slouch, either.

I'm probably the one around here who intentionally uses multiple keys each job; especially when music people are part of the audience.

Part of the deal is sort of pathetic showmanship. It's like when I was playing only guitar, I used a double neck, a jazz box, a Fender Tele, a nylon string, a tenor banjo and sometimes more. Of course, this was a house job.

Now, if it is more than just an hour "in and out", I use a jazz box, a nylon string, a primary keyboard, a digital piano on my left hand and a synth on top; one good for playing left hand bass.

I like to change the mix so that I sound slightly different
on different nights, or for different kinds of audiences.

Truth is, I only know 4 songs on each instrument, so I have to lug lots of stuff around.
