yorks5stringer 1,920 Posted April 10, 2019 I don't know if I inadvertently started this thread (?) but many thanks. Raindrops went well once the keyboard player realised that the previous keyboard guy who was on before him had transposed to D and not returned it back to normal. We played a few bars, stopped and started again, once changed back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
