I played in a group for many years ( about 25 ) playing lead Tenor Sax. Haven't played at an event for quite a while. I switched to keyboards in 2008. Got tired of just playing Sax by myself or with recordings as backing. Always wanted to play piano and the Tyros and especially the Motif have been a real awakening for my creative side. I cannot sit down and play without finding new progressions and melodies. I thought I'd be happy to just play any song I liked but now composing has become my priority. When I record I play directly to a digital recorder, no multi-tracking, so I need to really practice my own works. Once in a while I can record in 1 or 2 takes but mostly it's double digits. I am working to become a better and more consistent player as well as as a better composer.
