And the play list is made up by the audience ... they call out a tune and the guy plays it ... And the pianos I saw were 5 - 6 foot grands ... But I don't think I saw a Steinway ...

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15563 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Remember this old photo of me. I had my PSR-3000 set up just an inch above the piano keys. I actually tried playing that Steinway Grand a few times - made me glad I was an arranger keyboard player. Those keys were brutal.

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2442 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	I wish i had that amazing ability or is it memory to just take any request and play it. Luckily my "piano book" has a lot of the frequently requested songs in it but nothing very new " I'd just like to know what is current now on thsoe cruise gigs. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

A good entertainer can look at the crowd and immediately determine what they want to hear. The technique I always adhered to is to determine their age, which at my age is becoming more and more difficult, then play the songs that were popular when they were 15 to 35 years of age - always worked very well for me.

Gary Gary, the difference is that on these ships, the guy (and I have to say I've only seen guys working this gig) does not pick the play list ... the audience around the piano bar make the requests ... if the guy plays the request,he gets a tip ... if not, no tip ... _________________________ t.
