DISCUSSION by Rick 3/14/25

This is one of the FIRST TIMES we put the KEYBOARD and PIANO together with Dorothy on 88 keys and me operating ONLY an easily portable keyboard with specific intent of configuration this way for one-hour shows. The amp was not so easy to move but still transportable. I felt I had to get her away from the Technics piano she loved which was simply impossible to move and therefore gig with. Here she’s on the very light transportable KORG we bought in September at Guitar Center from Raul, along with the PITCH CORRECTOR  for vocals and 400 watt ALTO brand amp. This is the same basic set-up that we used through to 2019 after several false starts from 2012 to 2014 involving two-pianos, organ-piano, taking-turns-on-one-piano, one-piano-with-ensemble-rhythm&bass, and acoustic-piano, although we continued to use those extra-configurations here-and-there up to 2019 depending on circumstances. The piano-keyboard-duo-with-2-mics-and-two-books was my targeted configuration if at all possible.
