Jyme Bale, I am 57, I toured with a rock band during the 70's mainly abroad. Worked with many cover bands playing all types of music. I played drums,synths, and vocals. I have two degrees, computer and biology and five children, all very musical. I live close to Houston,TX and in 1998 had the first of three severe auto accidents. The next two years I had two more. The last the worst. I applied for disability and received it the first time. Most people have to wait two and three years. I have a severely messed back and was retired by Social Security. I owned two companies, a mainframe and pc/laptop repair. Have owned so many drum kits and synths I can not remember them all. I have taught myself to play piano over nine years, reading music was a must. I own Tama drums, Roland Fantom s88,two controllers, many demo synths I can not afford, Roland 550, I build acoustic guitars for therapy, have built five in the past nine years. Have a small Ashdown amp I'm rebuilding with 12" speaker and building a Strat since I can't afford to buy one. I enjoy life and play my boards every day for an hour. I use a mini cassette recorder to record more than one instrument, as I do not have a studio. If I can be of any help to anyone don't hesitate to ask. Thats it, Man that was fun! Later, Cheers.
