You've probably got more deer in your county than we do in the whole state of AZ.
That may be true. San Bernardino county is the largest county in the US at around 20,000 square miles.

I'm questioning my sanity after agreeing to do an Adele song at the singer's request. 
I mean, we've taken on some stuff that the rest of us would never have dreamed of, Bowie, Tears For Fears, Prince, Mike Oldfield, Fool's Garden... When it got to Oasis and Richard Ashcroft/The Verve I said that we had to draw a line in the sand somewhere. I don't mind an acoustic ballad or an oddball song - I even suggest some of those - but, this...
I mean, I get it, this is the payback for all the Chuck Berry and Status Quo I've been putting forward over the years. The thing is, for someone like me who isn't exactly a master of the ivory it's good to tickle the keys sometimes, but I'm more the Lennon/McCartney/Little Richard school of piano. Keep it simple and often enough, hammer the heck out of it.
FWIW, I tried it on my A-30, but I'd need more practice to get the velocity correct. Used the JV-80 and also ran the MIDI in parallel through an EM-10 for little more 'richness'. The patch I'm using on the JV-80 is a custom mix of two pianos that I set up initially for recording Loving Cup by the Stones (yes, that's Nicky Hopkins... that guy was a genius at the keys, just amazing). I think this is why the lower registers sound a little dissonant. I kinda like it though, I think.
