PS....and in reality what is "LIVE" about playing Automatic styles?

To me "LIVE" is one person or persons each playing a single solo instrument...the rest is some sort of automation.....just sayin'.

Scott:

I would consider anyone who is playing just chords on the Left a Keyboard player. What's the difference if your playing a chord or a style? So if you can play accompaniment, counter melody, on the left then I would consider that a piano player. Doesn't matter what instrument you are playing. It's all about the technique. That's my personal opinion. Others may define it differently.

Donny, that's why I'm doing the month of March with no automation at all. 30 jobs and counting. Different mindset, but working out GREAT!

May stop using arrangers live-just for film roughs.

To summarize the difference:

Keyboard (American/British Definition):
- 'any' musical instrument played by means of a piano-like keyboard, ie: a piano, electric piano, organ, synthesizer, or arranger keyboard.

Keyboard(European Definition):
- an instrument played by means of a piano-like keyboard, but which specifically includes 'auto accomp' styles & arranger features

Man, who is YOUR agent??? 30 gigs in a month..Wow (and the month isn't near over yet!)
