Y’see, this thread’s title shows I’m an old guy. I see PSA and do not think Public Service Announcement, I think Prostate Specific Antigen. dB

I’ve heard about that as well. Apparently, he wanted very badly to be taken as a serious composer, and the less than enthusiastic reception of his concerto really crushed him. I seem to recall an account of Leonard Bernstein hearing it, who apparently was not terribly impressed. I saw an interview of him talking about his legacy, and he was unhappy that he was most recognized for Lucky Man, which he…disliked. He asked something like, “When people ask me what I’ve written that they’d recognize, what am I going to do - whistle Tarkus?” dB

Yes. I was standing right by Ken when he took this photo, so we were really close to him. dB

As far as I know, Keith suffered from pretty serious depression. If nothing else, his right hand/arm were damaged to the point that he couldn’t really use his pinky or ring finger to play keyboards. I saw a couple of his last performances, and could clearly hear the frustration in his playing. I can’t even begin to imagine how torturous that must have been for him. dB

No, they don’t. For me to create a new forum, I’d have to feel like the forum would get/bring its own traffic/community. I’ve started a few over the years. Most have not worked, even those that had an existing community of people it appeared would like an online place to hang. In the case of something like the Korg forum we’re discussing here, it wouldn’t be a subforum of KC. It’d ideally be its own forum with its own community. MPN effectively has unlimited digital real estate. I’m essentially offering space to another community if they need help. dB

If the Korg forum needs a new home, MPN would probably be able to host it. dB

Dammit… 😒 dB

I’m inclined to doubt that. As far as I can tell, Mr. Darnold has been in the NFL for more than a few years. I think he just doesn’t have the right stuff. As brother Geoff says above - we’ll see soon enough. dB

With TEN adding Tony Pollard, Derrick Henry is headed to the Ravens (who lost Gus Edwards to the Chargers). Devin Singletary is also on the move to the Giants to replace (?) Barkley. In QB news, Jameis Winston is now a Brown, Drew Lock a Giant, Gardner Minshew a Raider, Marcus Mariota a Commander, Tyron Taylor a Jet and Jacoby Brissett returns to NE. dB

In two inter-divisional moves: Aaron Jones to the Vikings... ...and Saquon Barkley to Philly. Vikings have also picked up Sam Darnold to fill the hole left by Kirk Cousins. I wonder how that'll work out... 🤔😳 dB

Looks like Ekeler to the Commanders. dB’

Lake Street Dive. Scary Pockets. Knower. dB

Those are way fun to play, especially with a healthy amount of crunch. I identify as a keyboard player and a guitar player and a bass player and a singer…but I don’t feel conflicted. ☺️ dB

I still do. I run an acoustic/electric through it, using an FBV3 pedal to control it. The guitar is a Fender Newporter. Strat neck… 😎 dB

Brother John Worthington is the only owner I know. dB

At this point, literally all of them have to do with some version or ingredient of (intentionally misspelled) keeeto Guummmyyz. dB

No, you’re not…at least, not here. You must’ve missed my earlier post on the first page. The word Reservations WAS on our word filter list because of airline spam a few years back, but it’s gone now. 😎 dB

Y’all would probably be surprised to know how how hands off MPN’s admin is. As I’m fond of saying, the inmates truly do run the asylum here. 🙃 dB

It does indeed. The word “reservations” got added when we were being bombed a few years back by online travel brokers advertising discount rates. I’m thinking we’re safe from that now, so I removed it from the filter. 😎 dB

I merged the threads. It was my mistake for not hitting the button that leaves a marker where your original thread had been previously. My apologies… dB

I think we're gonna see the show in LA as well. 😎 dB

Hmmmm. 🤔 Well, one thing seems pretty clear to me: this thread needs a moderation decision. I hesitate to hide or nuke the thread because I do believe that it’s okay for people to share their opinions with each other, even in disagreement; however, it does feel to me like this topic is not a good fit for KC…so, having gotten Craig’s permission, I’m moving it to SSS. dB

My previous Yamaha looked kind of like that one. The one I have now is mostly HDMI for the Audio, Video and Component I/O. SO much better...and neater, from a cabling POV. dB

…and for those of you who may not already have it, here’s a link to the free bank brother Marino did. 😎 dB
