Yes, and sometimes it wasn't willingly.

In my case, it would be.

Hi,

When we rehearse I always sit. When we perform, I always stand. Even at 56. It just feels natural for me.

Anyway, only my 2 cents.

We old boys just can't stand anymore that's about it, don’t make excuses, peddles or no peddles, over weight under paid, vericose veins, deep vein thrombosis, just sit down and shut up! Standing up is young people!
Donny you look good on your photo sat down, can’t hear you though!

Hi Tony,

Tx for the compliment my friend. Not trying to start something here, but when you love the Lord from your youth you age well and it shows.

Regards,
Henni

YEAAAH! I got a Celestone shot today and I FEEL GOOD. Wish I could get a quart or so of that stuff. I wouldn't even use a stand; just hold the keyboard in one hand and play with the other while I dance around the room. Gotta go vacuum and do the dishes now; it's barely past midnight.

Where can I get some of that?

Cheers,

Gary,

If I sat in that chair I would expect to have my teeth pulled out.

Tony

Hi Gary. I took a look at that stool recently at GC. The back was too far back for me. I couldn't see how to adjust it. I might like a setup like that if I could make if feel right.

Joe
