I love the author's description of piano players never getting to play on their own instruments and having to settle for what is provided to them. How true! I used to play piano/keyboards in an Emerson, Lake, and Palmer cover band, but after so many stuck keys and out-of-tune pianos, I ditched keyboards for a six-string bass and now play in a band that does mostly Rush and Dream Theater covers. I was shocked by how much my band experience improved when playing on my own well-cared-for instrument vs. whatever dusty beast existed in the corner of the venue.
