   I assumed as much, but didn't get why there's only a few.  Is it just   
   for quick hand positioning when he gets back to the keyboard after   
   playing the bass part of the song?  Maybe like where the pinky finger   
   goes for a particular song?   
      
   Has anyone noticed what note it's on vs. what notes he needs for the   
   songs played in the performance?  I'm musically illiterate, so I   
   don't know what note any of them are on, or what notes are even used   
   in the songs.
