   Volume control is nice. When I brought my Casio CDP-130 to church, it was so   
   nice to be able to just turn the volume down...but since I'm back on the   
   acoustic parlor grand, and have to control the volume by a very light and   
   careful touch, I'll probably bring the digital piano over to the new band   
   rehearsal area and have the Roland VK-8 clonewheel virtual B3 on the top   
   tier.

   I Hate that tune because they've worn it out!

   The shallow south instead of the deep south? ;)

   I pray I'll Never have to think of Music like that!

   Like trying to make a Hee Haw kind of thing out of it? ;)   
      
   > Hope it went well.   
      
   Amazingly, it went very well...I even played Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" (here   
   comes the bride) on the piano without any cues or anything...which only   
   reinforces why I've got such strong convictions about rehearsing!
