Okay here it goes you keyboard dudes.
My name is Rob Thompson. My family and I currently live in Charlotte, NC. We are originally from Detroit, MI. Got sick of the winters and headed for a warmer climate.
I am primarily a bassist (flame shields up). Who getting serious about composing and music theory. So after a few years hiatus from music a few friends from work asked if I wanted to play a benefit for work. I said yes and haven't looked back.
I usually hang out in the Bass Forum/Bass Station/nome du jour
for the bassists. I see I am not the only one. I recognize quite a few names . I am getting my feet wet with composing and arranging some tunes for the praise and worship band at church. I avoided the music theory thing for years and now I am crash coursing it and loving it. We have a Kurzweil (model escapes me at the moment) at church and I have a Yamaha at home. I am currently investigating software and keyboards/midi controllers for my home setup. And looking into taking some music theory or piano courses in the near future. What I know right now is self taught but I could use a little guidance.
Hope you all don't mind a member of the rhythm section hanging out here and picking up some pointers.
