DreamPondTX/Mark Price - U.S. Blues (OASYS at the Pond)
U.S. Blues (Vocals) —- An Arrangement of U.S. Blues. It just seemed appropriate.
(Note: Mark is not a vocalist, which should be obvious to the most casual observer).

DreamPondTX/Mark Price - I Don't Care (Pa4X at the Pond, PA)
I Don’t Care - It just sort of seemed to be what the fingers were saying.
Not all that long ago I had to play each instrument into the sequencer one at a time. Don’t even mention the drums. Mind numbing, it was. Modern technology has afforded me the ability to control the entire band with my left hand. Add to that canned intros and endings and y’all gots an on the fly arranger. I have the left hand set to trigger chord changes when a minimum of three keys are pressed at once.
The following is the set up for the KORG Pa4X.
Under Style Play: Latin - P6 - Bossa Lounge
Right Hand: Jazz Guitar
Intro = 1
Vari = 4
End = 1
Now don’t that make this look utterly simple!?!
You may notice my left hand tends to re-strike a chord at times when it seems unnecessary. It is, unnecessary!
