As Doug Chadwick, (who has never upset me or been anything other than a smashing bloke,) said, acoustic when it is used for an acoustic night, where I go to play music, means no electric...well, they leave the lights on...and NO PIANO because they don't have one....er....not that it is something that I feel very GRUMPY about or anything, because my electric piano OF COURSE won't work without electricity....not that I am complaining or feeling hard done by or anything ...I can of course take my piano accordion, which I cannot play in the same style whatsoever :-(

Oh, and open mic nights, when I go, mean you may take the same acoustic instruments...and plug them in or play them into a mic...
oh yes, THEN I can take my electric piano :-)    Hmmmm I wonder if other piano players have the same feelings as I do about being unfortunate enough to play more or less the only instrument too big to cart along without a small truck and 3 or 4 very strong people to wheel it into a venue. Ok Ok a bit off the thread, sorry, folks, just ignore me, just a separate rant for another thread probably! :-)

Hey WLD, your poetry still is tops! :-)
