...But keyboard seems to work and I would play for the sheer fun of it even if I didn’t gig...
That's what's all about, have fun, enjoy, and if it works like medicine in a grey everyday, it's even better.
..... I don’t expect I’ll be doing any Carnegie Hall concerts on keyboard anytime soon.
Wondering about how many of the 'arranger SZ gang' is expecting to reach that goal within reasonable time, or has been there to play at all?
For me it would have been a unforgetable and great experience just to sit down among the audience to see and listen.
