In all honesty I've gotten to a point where it doesn't matter what or where
I play--- if it has keyboards and pedals (or not)I'll play it. God gave me
the talent and the desire to play -- so I'm going to do it -- the heck with
all this academic, historical, politically correct malarkey. And the truth
of the matter is, I'd rather play an M3 Hammond than a one stop, one manual
pipe organ any day of the week. Oh, and while I'm at it if the instrument
has a digital relay or EP relay it doesn't matter, if the instrument plays
then great. Of course since I prefer Wurlitzers to Flentrops and digital
electronics to trackers I'll probably get slammed all over the place.
And the last toaster tried made wonderful toast and did a pretty good job
on the English muffins and bagels as well. The last electronic organ I
played was wonderfully received (Roland AT90S) and the Rodgers 967 I played
was pretty nice too in the showroom... the old folks in the audience loved
every second of it, and not a turned up nose in the bunch.
Toasters are appliances for drying bread, not elctronic keyboard
instruments.
