I am getting more and more into them LG, I think the keyboard fills out a band.

^^I agree wholeheartedly Sox, a couple of years ago in another forum one of the members posted a thread about why are keyboards even necessary?... Apparently he felt they had no place in rock music at all, so I blitzed him with a Massive list of all the great bands/keyboard players I loved. I think it adds so much when a band does have them.
