Why is it SO important to convince people that you're 'actually playing' a musical instrument. The very sounds coming out of an arranger keyboard would indicate to all but an idiot that you're not ('cause it's not possible to play drums, piano, horns, strings, bass, and guitar, at the same time - unless you're a very talented octopus). .


No one said you have to convince an audience you play every part. The point is that the parts you do play stand out,and make it obvious you are performing meaningful parts that take a degree of musicianship.
