I have a very used Kronos 61 I use extensively. My C#2 key plays but doesn't spring up. Is it somewhat easy to get to and repair the spring? I'm not very DIY but with YouTube help I've been able to replace the joystick a couple times and key pads. Thanks.

Be careful from now writing a song going from G to C. It could sound like Jump.

I'm pretty sure Jimi Hendrix owns the E7#9 chord.

There's some very horrible crap these days that people call music and rally behind it. Despite some good quality performances by legitimate musicians you couldn't pay me to watch this shite of an awards show.

I've been in two rock bands with guitarists who used JC-120 amps and both sounded screechingly terrible! Maybe it doesn't handle distorted guitar well, or the players are deaf.

Huge Yes fan as well. Remember hearing Roundabout on the radio, bought Fragile and then every album thereafter when it came out. Prog bands were my favorite then and now. Finally way later, maybe 20 years ago I finally got copies of the first two albums Yes, and Time And a Word. I've got to say, and I'm sure I'm well in the minority here that these have been my go to Yes records for a long time! Of course Fragile, CTTE are masterpieces, and Relayer is jaw dropping at times but there's something about the first two records that has a period character that's so different. Still in the first couple innings of what became prog without a blueprint; scents of 60's psychedelia, experimentations and arrangements of copy songs, a sound combination of jazz drumming, lead bass, pinched distorted but interesting guitar, and especially the growling Hammond organ! Love Tony Kaye's aggression, taste. This first Yes generation came up with something at the start, laid the creative blueprint to be greatly expanded later by monster mufos Howe and Wakeman. Not everything worked, not all the singing is on key. They jumped in and were hungry, no success guaranteed. I hear the beauty and innocence on these records, they are seldom mentioned, and I love 'em!

Anybody believe this story?

I saw Hackett's show last month in Cincinnati at Taft Theatre with fabulous acoustics. When the band, during times the sound and lights slowly faded to zero it was an atmosphere that was completely stunning. What struck me was how Hackett's guitar sound is exactly like it was in the 70's, and he seems to hardly age even at 72. I've grown up with the same favorite prog favorites as many on this forum, and the show was what I expected...a solid musical show but it isn't Genesis...no exciting front man, light show way minimized, single drummer, but Seconds Out was pretty faithful recreation with an original (almost) member playing the parts he wrote and recorded. I saw my favorite band, The Who a couple days ago fully realizing we're not going to see the icons in the 70's with the same vigor they had at the top of their game 50 years ago. Any more, seeing this kind of show is a thank you to the performer which has enriched myself and millions with musical enjoyment.

I friend of mine has met the Journey band backstage nearly every tour when they come to the area and specifically has spent time major time with Jonathan Cain. He has proof if there's any doubt with photos along side Cain's keyboards. As unbelievable as it sounds...he says besides guitar/instrumental interludes during the set, the songs are PRE-RECORDED. The band does play live but playing over themselves, maybe just in headphones. Is it every instrument? Vocals? I don't know. A backup if something fails? He was pretty adamant five years ago this is how they do it. If true I wouldn't think they would ever admit this publicly.

I'm also 62 and playing 100 gigs a year currently. Have played 3,553 gigs since 1973 which includes 6 different years under 10 shows each. Actually have it all on a spreadsheet! Looking at it from a money perspective it's largely laughable but if the alternative was a primarily different straight laced career making much more money but a very changed person..no way would I choose that.

Not true..Hey Jude released Aug 1968 7:11...MacArthur Park Richard Harris released April 1968 7:20..I know..I have both singles.

I played this live in a full-time cover band 1987..played it on a Korg remote midi'd to a Memorymoog and switching from lead and choir and bell sounds..the drummer covered the sound effects enough.
