First off. Thanks for all the words of encouragement. My RD2000 has been just a joy to play. I love the action and tone options...especially being able to play a bass line while chording with the right hand.

I’ve been fortunate to have a woman(50ish) who fronted bands(as a keyboardist in Nashville) living here. She is amazing and has been teaching me performance theory. I feel like a whole new world has been opened to me.

All this said, I can better understand why performing pianists stick with piano vs. an arranger.

If you all are ok with it, I’ll share my ongoing experiences.

Take care all.
