Last night got to meet Bill (SemiLiveMusic) we had a very enjoyable evening at one of the local casino with one of my favorite entertainers Billy Ledbetter. After the show I tried to get back home to Bossier city which is just across the river from Shreveport but we had a small amount of drizzle and freezing temperatures about 30 degrees. All the bridges were closed waiting for sand trucks which were not prepared, so I was stranded in the town of Hooter Ville (Shreveport) for hours I hope Bill didn’t suffer the same faith.
Don has been working on the Midjay and hopefully he will be able to help me with some of the technical problems that I will encounter with the setup I plan to use. My style of playing consist of right hand cords and left hand bass I cannot play left hand cords so a 25 note controller will work for me. Sam Ash has a large controller keyboard case (http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=32119&TempID=5&departmentid=0)
will permit me to keep all my cords hooked to the controller and Midjay and just set the case on an X stand remove the top and be ready to go. I also have a Nord keyboard I use for playing with bands so if needed for lead work I could carry both which by the way is still lighter and easier to setup than most keyboards.
I used the Nord and one Barbetta 31 at a local nightclub with a band Saturday night and could not believe the great comments I had on the sound it was truly amazing. Not only a great sound but I carried everything out at one time less than fifty pounds combined.
