mate stubb Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Wish me luck. I'm sitting in with my old band for the last set tonight after almost three years of not touching any keys. My fingers feel like clubs. 2 1 Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathOfInsects Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 You’ll probably be a slightly worse keyboard player, but significantly better musician. The latter is worth much more than the former. 8 1 Quote Now out! "Mind the Gap," a 24-song album of new material. www.joshweinstein.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Emm Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 You'll be nervous for the first 5 minutes and then years of reflexes will kick in. Its true for many things, some rated NC-17. You'll get it, no real worries. 1 Quote "Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the parlors!

mate stubb Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nord Electro 5D - not bad, but I like to play organ and piano at the same time and will have to simplify. Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokely Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Nobody hears the keyboards anyway /stereotype Until they do. our lead singer went out front and said after one recent gig (we ended on a molly hatchet two-fer that our guitarist sings) "the keyboards were loud and proud, I couldn't really make out the guitar" I just stared at her like she had said the sun came out at night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Survived my one set. Played sloppy, fingers sore after, strange rig. But fun overcame anxiety, got some energy, welcomed back by the band's long time fans. The Electro and I had a few battles. I had a hard time balancing the organ to the piano and kept having to gain stage. Then it developed a signal cutout. They had no monitor for me so the guitar player gave me his in-ears and we mingled earwax. And it was on an X stand. At one point I almost launched it off the stand. Had it moved another half inch there would have been a spill. 5 1 1 Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of my last festival gig. I called out to the sound engineer over the mic "can we have less guitar in the monitor please", and then (to the audience) "I bet you guys haven't heard that very often!" Cheers, Mike.
