When I was with Phylis, a 80's prog. rock band we were doing many Saga songs but my favorite was one called "Don't be Late". Our keyboardist pulled the song off like only Saga could and I just had asked him to show me how he did it. He really was very impressive to watch play! I also loved to play a song called Tempus Fugit from YES because of the high degree of technical ability of the song. It is a song not to played live for the musically faint of heart. Listen to the song and you'll find out exactly what I mean. He, Tony, was always using two keyboards while playing and I was constantly in awe about how coordinated he was by doing so. After hounding him endlessly, he proceeded to show me the tune and after a while I really got the hang of it. It was really cool! It really looks like you know what your doing when you can play two separate keyboards at once during one song! Looks can be deceiving ... well in my case anyways! Keep on jammin' Ya, me too!
