Well Im not a keyboard player. At least any longer.
I used to consider myself such around the late seventies, early eighties.
Then my gear was a Polymoog, Hammond L102, Rhodes stage 73, Cat SRM and a Yamaha P202 upright piano.
I never did much as a keyboard player professionally.
I once turned down an audition for some up and coming girl singer band called "Berlin" though. (who knew?)
I also spent a week in 1983 rehearsing with Nina Hagen for her Nun Sex Monk Rock tour as synthesist. Never did the tour though. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/frown.gif
In 1984 I was hired by Roland US as a service tech.
Besides fixing plenty of synths, I was responsible for ALL repairs of their Roland DG line of monitors and plotters. I left in 1988 to work for myself and thats the way its been ever since.
Now, I specialize in analog synths and supporting the needs of film composers and working musicians in the Los Angeles area.
I also do general outboard gear repairs, modifications, Mac support, studio hum elimination and occasional wiring.
Im technically experienced with Moog, Arp, Oberheim, Buchla, Roland, Polyfusion, EML, EMS, Serge, etc.
My client list includes over 30 film and TV composers and Ive consulted for Roland, Alesis, Bob Moog, etc.
Ive also presented one college lecture, which is rather ironic since I never attended college.
Im 38, happily married and have five cats.
I dont have too many hobbies, but like to travel and occassionally jump out of planes.
