J. Dan Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just to keep it somewhat confidential, I won't list the band name in this thread, but was talking to my old band and they still are looking for a different keyboard player. They play too much for me. Seriously, if music is your full time thing, they make enough to do it full time. You must be good at synth programming/sequencing, and must be a good singer. If you're interested, PM me. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgoo Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ya know, Dan... there's a business opportunity for ya here (albeit shameful, but era appropriate).... Rent / sell them a rig, sequence all the parts for all the tunes & tell them to hire another girl singer that looks like a million bucks & have her mime the kbd parts. (don't forget to set local off on the boards!). You make extra bread for work you do in your spare time & their marketability goes way up. Win win.

J. Dan Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 You had me until "must be a good singer." That's been the problem. When I left they auditioned all kinds of great keyboard players but none of them could cut it with the vocals.

After I left the band, when the new guy wasn't getting up to speed, I recorded a bunch of my parts for them (about a dozen) and they ran tracks with him either playing over them or faking it. From what I understand, they're still using about 6 of them and he's been with them for about a year and a half now.

J. Dan Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 ...and I gave them all my sequences as SMF's, and the new guy came over to my house and paid me to spend a few hours with him teaching him how to use the Kronos. I wasn't using it in the old band or else I could have just sold him all the patches and sequences for it.

Moonglow Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've always enjoyed my visits to St. Louis. City of my first ELP concert, had a blast playing there a couple of times, and you guys always have a good baseball team (unlike the team on the North side of Chicago). However, I would not enjoy singing and sequencing in any city.

Dave Ferris Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We left Florissant, Mo. for LA on Jan. 1 1979...ain't going back. Although I do like our visits to the Lake St. Louis area where my wife's sister lives. Maybe if I could get a house near that Katy Trail I'd consider it. Great place to run and bike. Cold and humid though. Going on 35 years out here, we're spoiled weather wise. On second thought, never mind. https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglow Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 City of my first ELP concert Me too! 1971, Kiel Opera House, 1st American tour? I wish! I was a nine-year-old kid taking piano lessons from our church choir director at that time, and didn't discover ELP until I joined my first band, around 1978. Of course ELP broke up around then so I had to wait until their Black Moon tour of 1992 to see them. Drove the 4.5 hours to St. Louis because I had a gig the following night, when they visited Chicago.
