I get a bit of each. People acknowledge my keyboard skills and are equally amazed at the technology. A lot of upscale retirement community folks have inquiring minds and a few come up to learn about the tool that I'm using. They are fast to point out that it takes command to put it all together.

I admire any competent musician, whatever they play............
