Gary....
do you consider playing an automatic arranger kb playing
LIVE Music?
Or consider operating an automated combination of small
midi style files combined with some right hand sound reinforcement?
Nothing wrong with doing it that way as we all know.....
sometimes it seems the easy way out but the bills gotta be paid right?

Many times it's better to for the listener just close your eyes, listen, & enjoy
versus seeing and knowing what is actually going on thinking it's a karaoke show of some kind due to lack of knowledge which most unfortunately without being their fault succumb to...
Hope I am making sense?
