Either that, or distorted beyond belief....(8-< with the WRONG things in it!

Whazzup with that? The bane of the keyboardist! My guitar player (the one in
my band) has said, and I quote:
"You are arguably the loudest thing on stage"....oh yeah?
I beg to differ, my friend. If he even detects that there is a keyboard (other
than his) in the mix, he goes bonkers complaining that it's too loud!!!
I fire up my rig in the sound check and he and the sax player scatter
to the corners like cockroaches when ya turn on the lights. Then the
guitar cranks up and the plaster falls off the ceiling and the liquid in
the drinks at the back start to boil and everybody just stands there-
doop-de-doop-de-doop...no big deal.............SHEESH!
ALL OF THE RECORDINGS of the band that have been done live, are
guitar, bass, and drums and some little honky-squeaky-maybe-there's-
something-there keyboards WAAAAY back in the back.
The other thing is that ya can't see us!!! We iz always in the back or the
side of the photos....in the shadows!!
Oh the woes of the keyboardist!!!
