At the risk of sounding arrogant. Get used to it,
especially if you view yourself as a "pro." The keyboard player has
the toughest gig in a band (usually) it is also a powerful position
to be in sometimes. Survival of the fittest. You're lucky your not
playing the wedding/bar mitzvah circuit in NYC. THAT, is some of the
hardest and stressful gigs I've ever done. Doing national tours was
a piece of cake compared to that. TZ
