First Gig With Genos
stephenm52:
I had a great reaction today playing the Genos at a Friday gig! It as an annual Christmas open house gig at an upscale assisted living facility I play all Christmas music. I usually setup near a fireplace in the lobby, the buffet of food and drinks that’s served is one door over but people come in and out of the facility to visit have some food, relax and listen to me play. I’ve been paying this gig every year for the last 5 years and I’ve used the T5, Pa3x and Pa4x, but today’s reaction was fantastic. More people lingered and sat in the lobby to listen to me play, applause was constant not the occasional applause you get playing at an event like today’s. WOW is all I can say. I used my Bose Compact to amplify the Genos. Lots of great alive styles I love the acoustic blues style and used it for ‘Blue Christmas” wow using the harmonica and the acoustic resonator guitar. When I played Blue Christmas and went from the guitar to the harmonica, people stopped and really took notice! AMAZING!!!!!
What made my day was there were 2 musicians in the audience, one a pianist and the other a solo guitarist, the guitarist made it a point to come talk to me while I was breaking equipment down. The pianist sat near me and told me he was just amazed at not only how great the Genos sounded but the command I had over working the board to get the most out of it.

Hi Steve
Thats great to know it went so well,I suppose with your first gig with Genos you were feeling a bit anxious,but now you have broken the ice you can feel more relaxed when playing out.
Good wishes for the future with Genos

Hello Stephen.
.
Congratulations on your gig with the Genos. And I wish you many more happy gigs like this one.
It seems like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself.
Even more interesting is that the 2 musicians in the audience were absolutely blown away by the sound and your playing abilities. I wish I was there too.
I love hearing about personal gigging experiences like this one.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas in advance.
Best Regards,
Pianoman.

Pianoman and Alans thank you for your comments. After using the Korg at this gig for the last couple of years I was a bit hesitant of changing boards but the ice was broken for sure.
Pianoman the 2 musicians were really put the icing on the cake. Merry Christmas right back to you Pianoman!
I don't think I posted this thought, when I arrived home with the Genos, my wife took one look at it said, " I don't know why you wanted another keyboard, they all look the same?" Then I fired the Genos up and played a couple of tunes. Her reply then was "WOW this is the best sounding one out of all of them you've played."
Pianoman:
Stephen,
Once you manage to convince the wife, you know that you've got it made.
My wife has been making similar noises, and saying that the house is full of keyboards already.
I even have my Roland G800 still.
She handles knives like a maestro Chef. I'll have to lock them away in a cabinet every night, once I buy another keyboard.
I still have nightmare visions about Lorena Bobbitt.
Best Regards,
Pianoman.
