This is why I like the arranger, bass line deficiencies and all. I like doing my own arrangements and twists and turns. The fills and variations will allow for cool stuff.

I have a few songs on my website: solojim.com


Hi Jim, me too, except for me it’s only to entertain myself.

I did some backing tracks to play along with, when I bought my piano a couple of years ago. I couldn’t have my keyboard and piano in the living room, so tried playing along to the inbuilt MP3 player. Soon got bored with that. Moved the piano to my little music room, stacked sx900 on top, and went back to playing with styles. Much more enjoyable.
