Does this count? Cheers, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	Me too...I play restaurants mostly, and do back up for singers occasionally, but, at the moment I've taken a break from personal performing and just doing in-store Yamaha arranger clinics. When I am out playing, I use a Yamaha Tyros4 with two Yamaha MS-60S powered monitors (for stereo sound).

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7285 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	I use arrangers to do roughs for sound scores for commercial and industrial films. Occasionally, I'll use them for a complete score for a very low end (read "no money") production. Rarely do I use them for gigging. That's my choice. Arranger have been VERY GOOD TO ME! R.

montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3208 Loc: Dallas, Texas	I do some solo jobs/volunteer at nursing homes. Also I have a Latin group that plays at parties and festivals. I usually add a singer, percussionist/vibes, and horn player. I love the flexibility the arranger K.B. allows me. I don�t care too much for SMF or audio backing tracks. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

I play a couple of senior gigs each month, when the time permits and I'm out of the full time work force I hope to be living in central Florida and do the type gigs Eddie's doing. Time will tell.
