Thanks very much for your reply. As soon as I can figure out how to do it, I will. I don't compose many Originals, (Not very skilled at composition unfortunately), but I do possess a unique musical approach. Several Months Ago, a gentleman by the name of Levant Marcus was in Honolulu. (You can locate him on the web by searching his name or by looking up "Black Cat Entertainment" I think.) He was shopping around for musicians. After hearing me play in a trio in a club out in Kailua, He made this comment to me. I heard a lot of keyboard players since my arrival, but none of them play like you. There are most certainly musicians with More Experience, More Knowledge, More Chops, And of course WAY MORE Success, (AND I Respectfully "Tip My Hat" to ALL of them), but so many of them SOUND EXACTLY ALIKE! I am grateful for possessing a UNIQUE MUSICAL APPROACH. To summarize: If Someone hears me play, (WITHOUT actually SEEING me) and says: That's great! Must be Usedname OR; They say; Gee that sucks! Must be Usedname, I would thank ALL of them EQUALLY for properly recognizing my Musical Style. After taking Classical Lessons for TWELVE YEARS, at age 17 I realized that I did NOT want to merely replay the same pieces of music that ALL Classical Pianists played. Bottom Line? People can appreciate what I do Or Laugh at what I do. It's all good. All I ask is "Please Do Not Confuse Me With Someone Else". Once again, Thanks very much Gilly.
tampa1: I have a Moog called the SOURCE. I also have an Emu sound card.
I remember the Moog Source. Remember the Moog Sonic Six? Memory Moog? Polymoog? So many Models. Still want to check out the Minimoog Voyager. Steep price Though.
