Sad to say but I am not playing out any longer. My reference to 60% is that I am doing everything a OMB does in my home; the performing part is no longer. So I am still involved with music and keyboards but for my own pleasure.

The monitor allows me to set aside my glasses. Most important I can use my laptop which has 15 years of my work. Most important is my note program, Encore. I have hundreds of songs written with music and staff. Unlike using the PDF format I can change the key in seconds -- change whatever; and the best part is when I open a song I have 3 to 4 songs of the same type on the same page.

I have 5 songs lists which edited over the years. Each list contains about 120 songs. Add the embedded song that brings it up to about 200 songs. I can pull up a list with just about any type of venue. Gary has always said that the laptop does the BEST JOB; I must agree.

Now if the good Lord helps me to feel better; the Pa4x and my IPad (small screen) are ready to go. (I have not given up yet)(smile)
