Evidently I'm not yelling "Yeah!" nearly often enough. smile

I like a couple of these guys, and I guess they are all doing a good job at what they do. I don't like the guy sitting behind a big piano-looking thing faking it. The first two seem to be doing a parody of Bill Murray doing his parody on the old Sat. Night Live show.
Bob Hughes does a good job at the country/rock stuff, decent guitar player and the Midjay sounds good. He makes his own sequences, and sometimes uses styles as well. It helps when the audience can see you playing.

]Hey Bill - I assume you are talking about New Jersey when you say the Jim Bannock and Donny are the only entertainers that make a living at it. There are a lot more of us on the Synthzone that manage to make hundreds of dollars every year. wink

Gary

Gary I only know fo two other guys who do music as their only occupation but both of them have wives with decent jobs and benefits. I too make hundreds of dollars a year playing, sometimes even a month LOL!
I'm talking about guys really making a living from it. I know you had previous careers and I was a teacher. Thank God I didn't decide to follow the music route full time as I once wanted. I can stop at anytime and be finacially OK, I just like doing it, but if I HAD to do it, thats another story.

Bill, the past 25 years income has been derived strictly from music. My wife's money is hers - not mine. (It was a nuptial vow. wink ) I guess we must be doing OK - I managed to buy a sailing yacht. wink

Actually, it's an interesting thread. Nice to see some how some of the other folks around the world entertain using an arranger keyboard and their vocals. I'm impressed. Of course, I'm old, feeble and senile, so I'm impressed a lot easier these days. wink

All the best,

Gary cool

Hey Donny,

"I'm From the Country" was a very full arrangement. You think he was working with a track or can you add in all those fiddle and guitar licks with multi pads. The guitar was ultra realistic if it was coming from his keyboard. I'd love to have that guitar sound.

The guy with the trumpet, cymbal and keyboard is a pretty talented guy.

Thanks for sharing these videos.

God Bless,
Don
