I love Bernie’s post – he understood where I am coming from.
And so does this post:
Quote “Most of the jobs I do use an arranger, but at home I'm usually working on piano, guitar, harmonica and drums. Most my time spent on an arranger at home is preparing for jobs (new songs, finding styles, sounds, making registrations and organizing styles. But often I do play arranger at home "just for fun" especially when friends/family come over and want to sing, dance and have fun, so yes, I think I'd always like to have an arranger KB around even if I wasn't playing out”.
My point; if you are not preparing for a job or a neighbor you are left with enjoying your keyboard differently. This does not apply to a home player. Years back I was a Pro player and s home player. Since then I have gotten lost with preparing.
Since the doctor said I have Parkinson’s disease my thinking is to sell all but one keyboards – and buy me one great guitar. That’s the instrument I started with. To quote: no bells and whistles just me and what I am feeling.
Thanks for your opinions they did help, John C.
