I used to carry a lyric book. Now I have text files stored on my USB. Each text file is associated with a song registration.

If I call up a registration file named Volare, I just have to press the TEXT button, and Volare gets called up. If needed, I can put the chord changes. I also often have the composer, recording artist, and when the song hit #1 on the charts or won a Grammy.

I'll have to pick up one of those fans for the outdoor shows I have this summer. I don't do the nightclubs.

Outside of footswitches and a thumb drive, I don't use any accessories in my show. But I do like to have a bottle of lens cleaner and a micro fiber cloth kept in my gig bag to wipe the spittle off my keyboard.

I always keep an electric shaver, dental floss, eau de toilette, and mouthwash in my car in case I don't look or feel fresh upon arriving at that second or third gig of the day. At a slow gig in the Alzheimer's unit, there's always time for a quick shave in between songs.

Beaky can you also link the lyrics files to MP3 songs on the thumbdrive also on the S910?

Lyrics linked to SMF's or MP3's are cool, but what do you do if you play in a live band at times? It's simpler for me to have the few lyrics I need in a binder, then whatever keyboard you play and wherever you play it, you have what you need. Tie it to technology, and you run risks...

Without a doubt ... the mic stand is top priority! Without that ... its not an "uncle Dave" show. I need that vocal link from my heart to the crowds ears. The rest is. All fluff.

I seem to remember your video, Jim. Do you GET a lot of those 'Fran type' women at the NH? Actually, I remember the 'young' lady who seemed so enamoured of you during your performance there. Come to think of it, she did seem like she'd be a good match-up for Fran .

Now that was funny, Donny. Glad to see you're getting your sense of humor back. Beats the heck out of being angry all the time, don't you think?
