Hello. I’ve been playing for several years, I’d call myself an intermediate. I started on piano, but I have moved to keyboard. I mostly play with my husband who is a guitarist, and a few other guitarists and singers. We like to jam, write songs, and have fun, mostly pop and rock. I’m planning on starting to do a few open mics. I’ve been using the Yamaha 310 72 key keyboard, but I’m outgrowing it and I want something with fully weighted keys. I’ve started looking at other keyboards, but I can’t find one that quite fits everything I’m looking for. I was hoping to get a keyboard with 88 fully weighted keys, but lightweight and portable enough to bring to open mics. One thing I like about my current keyboard is how easy it is to transpose on the touchscreen when the guitarist want to capo up or down. But there doesn’t seem to be a 88 key keyboard with fully weighted keys, with a touchscreen, that’s lightweight and portable, at least not for under $2000 which around my limit. I’ve looked at the Yamaha 670, which is quite heavy, the Roland P 50, Yamaha 225, and others. If I got the 670 I think I would only use it for home play and I would have to have something else for an open mic, though. What would you recommend for my needs? Also, do you think that my Yamaha 310 would be appropriate for casual open mics or should I have something better for that? Thanks so much for your help. This is a whole new world to me.

Hello. A new question. We’re going to KA tomorrow at MGM, and we thought it would be nice to have dinner close to where the show is going to be. Do you recommend any of the restaurants at MGM or anything within a 15 minute walk? Thanks.

Hello. Can anyone tell me what the best breakfast buffet on the strip is that I can get for $35 or less per person and it’s still worth it? Bonus points if it’s walking distance from the Bellagio. Thanks.

Thanks to all. We’re just going to enjoy the Bellagio buffet one day which is $45 a person on weekdays.

Hello. We are starting to think about a trip to Quebec City and Montreal. We are thinking of around 14 nights but it can be anywhere from 10 to 18 nights. We’re thinking of maybe 3-4 nights in Montreal and 4-5 nights in Quebec city. From there we would love to see some beautiful coastal scenery and interesting small towns. We are looking at either Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, or more Quebec province. The distances are far though. What would you recommend we add to the Montreal and Quebec City stops? We will rent a car but need to end the trip near an airport so that we can fly back to the US. Thank you so much for any suggestions.

Hello. I’m trying to find a direct flight from anywhere in the US to Hualtuco. Does this exist? I thought American airlines flew non stop from Dallas to Hualtuco but I can’t find this. Can anyone advise on whether these flights exist? Thank you.
