Hello All,
I have been lurking/posting a little here for awhile and realized I have never introduced myself.
so....
I have been playing organ since I was 10 yo. I am 45 now. I have been playing in basement/bar bands for most of my life.
I tought night school electronics for 20+ years. So I usually lurk for repair/tech questions to help with. I have to say this is such a great collection of musical knowledge. I can't believe the quality of the advice (or the personal).
I have a bunch of keyboards/synths but currently ( like many of you ) I love to gig with my Electro 2. The last few years I have been playing with my alesis HD24, learning much about recording.
When not backing up string bangers and shouters, You can usually find me moderating on the Combo Organ Nation. I have a lot of posts on there helping folks keeping these early machines running. ( as well as a dirty little secret about the Nord Electro 2).

and, you will also find me helping people repair their Oberheim Xpander/M12 ( My most favorite synth ) on the Xpantastic user group.

I don't teach anymore, but I am happy to help with techie questions or repairs.
