You embracing New technology or stuck in the Old ways?
"You Cant teach an old horse new tricks is what they say".....but how does it pertain to you and your music and how your perform it?....
do you ignore change,...scoff at something new, or a better way to do it, laziness the cause, don't care either way, keep saying to yourself why change now after all these years, wont memorize songs, still using bulky charts instead of an iPad, trim down your rig using a newer instrument and gear, etc,etc,etc?
Thoughts?
"scoff at something new" ? ... NEVER !!! ... if I did I might still be playing accordion - and chas really wouldn't like that - musical instrument-wise I went from accordion to cordovox to Fender Rhodes to 3 generations of arranger keyboards ... even played solo piano with a rhythm machine to back up my vocals for a while - now THAT was ballsy -
Now I am about to embark into the 'tablet' world for my music sheets - yes, Donny, I KNOW I should have memorized them but I never was good at that, and at this age it is not going to get any easier - so, it looks like it is going to be a Pr012 tablet for me, which will eliminate the use of books and a music stand once I get an attachment to hook up the tablet holder to my X stand ... and who knows what might be next ?!? ...
When I had a real 'day' job, most of my career was in the IT field, starting out with the old IBM tabulating and keypunch machines ... during the course of that career, I kept on the 'cutting edge' bringing many innovations into the company I worked for, including computers, data entry systems, microfilm and then digital imaging systems, etc. etc. ...
One can either 'stand still' which means you end up going backwards, or try to stay ahead of the curve ... I choose the latter ...
