Theresa, i will look into those mats....

I haven't really thought about playing without the pedal...maybe I should experiment with that. Thanks revalationists!

I will try the ideas mentioned...it's somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one with this problem!

Monkeyman, I play a little guitar...but I don't know any fancy chords...just the basics...i do luv me some acoustic guitar though...That's one of the reasons I'm a Paul Baloche fan!

Thanks everyone else too for your responses...when I find what works for me, I'll post a follow up! God Bless!

Play off the other musicians when you play without the pedal... off beat stuff.... it's great and let's you stand on both feet... it's easier to do that than loose weight.. believe me, I know... : )

Right now, all we have is a drummer, if we are lucky. Hopefully the Lord will send us some more musicians...I'd love to play the bass if someone else could play the keyboard!

I do know there is nothing easy about losing weight!

A drummer is enough... when your drummer is there, play off beats... that way your filling in where the peddle would... hope this concept makes sense...

Yes, I understand what you are saying...I think...I'm not all that of an accomplished pianist...I guess I need to stretch and learn some new things! Thanks for the tips!
