Do I really need a new keyboard? What is the criteria for judging?

Do I need a new keyboard for the jobs (when I was playing) No – I could have done a great job with my kn5000.

Do have exceptional talent? No, I have just enough talent to play at some nice places and get paid some nice dollars.

So why buy a new keyboard? Well this is going to be hard for me to be honest – it’s ‘cause I just like having something new; I get excite when FedEx shows up. The Florida group that I was in years back felt the same way; they got in line to get the NEW ONE.

Speaking about myself --- Something happen to me when I got a new keyboard; My playing improved, my understanding of keyboards improved, and my performance improved. There is another reason and it is called boredom; boredom with the same. Sometimes ya just gotta change.

PS, I always wondered why Gary kept his keyboards for so long.
