The Roland BA-330 is my main combo amp. For this gig and many others, it runs on batteries (in stereo)!

This concert was mostly for the boaters (who I was facing in these videos). Press the play button and make sure sound is "on" to listen.

Be Better Blues

I played lots of blues at this gig. (Don't know why.) Here's one example (press the play button to listen).

Akaso Brave 7 LE did a nice job of capturing the live scene. (I think it will be much better once I invest in an external mic.) The tripod is included.

Hymn to Humanity

Yes, this is piano improv.
