Amen to that brother! But tell me, isn't it just plain fun to play along sometimes?

I'd suggest an organ for those 88 note chords. There all you have to do is put a 2X4 across the keyboard, weigh it down with a couple of bricks, and you're off to hoist a few with your buddies...

Yeah, me too. I feel it sounds brighter without the 3rd placed in the lower register.
