  1. While I agree with NAMM's decision to move the show to June, I highly disagree with making it a 3-day show instead of the usual 4-days. Here's why: [video:youtube]
  2. Its sad when icons like the Rolling Stones, who've been around over 5 decades, lose one of their founding members. Charlie certainly was special. I've put together my tribute for Charlie here. [video:youtube]
  3. We have a Global Supply Chain problem that's causing most products to experience massive delays from the time that you order a product to the time that you receive it. While this problem is a multi-faceted problem, I've put together a video that covers the shipping portion of these delays. While this video will definitely educate the viewers as to the shipping portion of the problem, its just one of the global problems happening that's causing the entire industry to go into chaos. Here's the video: [video:youtube]
  4. Been waiting for one of these for a long time.... finally pulled the trigger!!
  5. Thanks for your kind words AussieKeys... much appreciated! You've pretty much summed it up with the AC Power Supplies - yes, they're heavier but with the increase in weight also comes an increase in capability/usefulness! You no longer have to worry about finding the right type of 'connector' or dealing with the proper type of polarity, etc. The DC bricks (if you can even find a decent one out there) will power one device, while the AC power supply will power as many as you like (as long as you keep it under the total wattage the power supply offers). Also, the heavier the AC power supply weighs, the better it is (that translates to a much more capable battery in terms of Watt Hours).... how cool is that Those RavPower DC units I recommended years ago were discontinued by RavPower.... I got sick of the entire DC power supply scene with the proper connectors, polarity, single-use, and finding it harder and harder to locate a decent unit (since RavPower stopped making them). Anyway, much success with your quest to find a proper unit for you. Cheers!
  6. I've been using the DieHard AC power supply for a couple of years now. It has never failed me, and its now the power source that I've been recommending! [video:youtube]
  7. Just got a hold of the Legend 70s Artist-W (wood core keys) and man, this is one impressive board! I put together a quick sound demo (mainly Classic Rock):
  8. If that works for you, then your search is over! It seems like you're in search of something ultra-light in weight and, if this device does what you need then you've reached your goal. I guess I'm more functionally oriented and if the DieHard will provide AC power of 400 Watts all day long, powering not one, but all of my gear simultaneously, then the extra weight is a welcome compromise. Both of these items are approximately the same price. If you do end up getting the RavPower device, I would be extremely curious in learning of your experience with it!
  9. Funny.... "like the one this guy suggested".... that guy was actually me! And that video was referring to an excellent DC power supply made by RavPower. The only problem is, RavPower has stopped making those a while back and they're almost impossible to find now. That's why I did a 180 on DC power supplies and went with portable AC power supplies instead. Sure its bigger and heavier, but it will power anything, and pretty much all day, so to me its worth schlepping it to whatever outdoor gig I have.
  10. I don't even bother with whether its battery powered or not anymore. Now I use a DieHard 1150 which supplies many hours worth of AC power at 400 Watts, so you can power any gear you have... you could practically power a band with this! I did a video review of it powering a Nord Piano 4, QSC CP12 and a floor fan: [video:youtube]
  11. Its comforting to hear the varied experiences of other musicians as far as music in their minds. To expand on that, I've also found that (since I was a little kid), I had the ability to actually practice playing the piano in my mind (you could see slight movement of my fingers as it was happening). I was able to correct problem spots as I "practiced" in my mind. It also worked for rehearsals as I'd actually go over problem spots of songs while driving to the rehearsal. Additionally, it was a way of 'keeping up my skills' if I was away for a period of time (ie: summer camp as a kid, vacations, etc).
  12. Ah, Thanks!! I've been told its a catchy tune but its the first time I've heard that its playing in someone's head... I'm flattered
  13. Not quote "see" or "floating piano keys", but I know every single note I'm hearing as I hear it, and exactly where on the piano they're at. I don't "see" it, but the best I can do to explain it would be that I "feel" it.
  14. I call this how lovers of music get through the day. It"s a blessing. I think you pretty much nailed it! It definitely helps getting through the day during a pandemic!
