Hey dude great cover! You sound good man. I've always loved this one but never thought to figure it out cause it just seems hard but damn man im gonna have to.

Nicely done! Just reminds me how much we need to get a keyboard player again.

Keyboards are as essential as bass in my opinion...

Very nice. You have a good voice, nice pitch and nice tone.

Sometimes keyboards are essentially bass in my opinion..

Im a sucker for keys too, but there is some interesting stuff in 1971 as a 4 piece.

I'm all for picking up a good keys player - they seem rarer than hen's teeth here in the Blueridge. The good ones we can get to sit in but they keep pretty busy to be locked into anything permanent. I do like the space that a 4 piece band allows, it's easier to turn on a dime with fewer people too. That being said, I'd still love to have one.

If you're in a working band (ie getting paid reasonably for gigs) looking for a keyboard player for GD-based music and striking out finding one, I'd just go to any college music school and post your info---there's a TON of piano players out there---dime a dozen IMHO---they'll want paid but they should have no problem quickly learning tunes as needed. It's not like they'd be needing to memorize a 3 part Sonata in 2 weeks.

As for GD without keys---I think it's workable on a lot of songs but, there's a also some tunes that I think should be off limits without one---however, that never seemed to stop a LOT of bands I've seen from doing them anyhow.

I struggle at times to make things work without a second guitar player---to me, that's just as difficult with a lot of tunes.

I hear you, you'd think that a college town it wouldn't be that hard. It's also a pretty small town so I know most of the players here even the young kids. The music program has been slipping since Chip McNeil left and they haven't been attracting a lot of talent, at least piano talent. There's probably 4 or 5 guys out there I the whole area, play with a couple of them but they stY pretty busy. It'd be nice to have one steady person.
