  1. I saw the Pat Metheny Group around 88 - 89 at the Orpheus Theather while I was at Berklee College Of Music in Boston. The band came out marching on to the stage like a marching band. I believe Lyle was teaching in the area around this time. On of my friends was having a band rehearsal in a room at Berklee. The door to the room had a tiny window. During the rehearsal one guy in the band noticed a dude looking through that tiny window for a while. He said I wonder what that dude wants? My friend said don"t mind him that"s 'only' my piano teacher Lyle Mays! Never forgot that story. Obviously a down to earth guy as well as a brilliant virtuoso. No doubt. Pat Metheny just came out with a new album and the pianist is excellent but didn"t sound quite like Lyle. Seemed strange to me. Know I understand why Lyle wasn"t on this album. Incredible bummer. Just found out about an album he recorded in 2016, The Ludwigsburg Concert (Naxos, 2016). Check it out. So moving! He will be greatly missed!
  2. Something about girl drummers that keep the pocket so tight that I do enjoy! Wonderful nuanced playing. Hee hee! Oops, getting off topic though. I have the original Numa organ which I do like. I'm using a Kurzweil SP76 for lower board. It works. But I am longing for more drawbars and the improvements these Viscount organs bring in one unit. Can't wait to try one out in the states. Any places or anyone in the Northeast Tristate getting one? Don't know if you can actually get your hands on it to try out before purchasing easily.
  3. http://www.microcenter.com/product/440932/TW802_Tablet_-_Black I own one worked with Pianoteq demo, though I use Galaxy D with it. Better sound to my ears. You will need a sound card with it and usb . I use this because it is the smallest and cheapest I could find and sounds great. BEHRINGER U-CONTROL UCA222 Also would Need something like this to expand USB ports http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-4-Port-USB-2-0-Ultra-Mini/dp/B003M0NURK/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1449517468&sr=1-7&keywords=usb+hub The Tablet has two USB ports but one is a mini - you could use an adapter there. You need tow USB ports one to go to your keyboard and one to go to the soundcard.
