I have often heard (mostly by my Mom) "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything." But when I though of just posting silence I was afraid of getting sued for copyright violation

The discussions revolving around the arrangers have provoked some thought in my mind. Was I "cheating" myself in some way by not playing every part of the song myself? No, I don't think I was.

I enjoy listening to music. Some people don't really appreciate it as a true gift. My wife has never heard anything in her life. Any kind of music is fine with me. I have played songs on my PSR2000 and switched styles in the middle creating whole new patterns of songs and sounds. If it makes me feel good then that is my bottom line.
I have gotten almost every friend that visited me since I purchased it to sing with me! A lot of them are ready to go home and purchase one for themselves!
I have also played a melody line (made up songs) to go with a few of the styles. To me that is writing music. The fake books never even put the rest of the songs there. It is just easier to "fake" with an arranger keyboard.
I am so happy with the keyboard and can't wait to jam with my friends with it.
Some things if you ignore they go away. If you scratch a misquito bite it will get bigger. With the love and respect shared in this forum I hope that it is enough to overcome any bad opinions.
Let's make some more music now (and then talk about it).
