I enjoy listening to and playing I'm in love with my future and I love you, but that's the limit I can tolerate.

I bought it at 224. It does not appear Amazon has a price matching policy so I could package it up and return it and re-purchase it, but I bought it on Massachusetts tax-free weekend so it would be a wash. -
This reminds me of my college days when I majored in music and chemistry (don't ask) and we were studying Mozart. I appreciate what a genius he was but couldn't understand why I did not enjoy his music. I found it tedious and repetetive. I thought there was something wrong with me and kept buying new records (long before CD and streaming) still couldn't enjoy it. I realized in the classical world I love Bach and the Romantic composers, but not much in between. I accepted my somewhat aberrant tastes and moved on. As far as Keith Jarrett, he is one of my favorite jazz musicians. I particularly love his Standards recordings and The Melody at Night, with You. The more avant garde stuff is amazing from a spontaneous composition perspective, but I need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it.

Broke down and bought it the last minute of Massachusetts tax-free weekend. Do I need it? No, but couldn't pass it up. I'll find a use for it! -

I wonder why the mac/pc version is so much cheaper than the ios.

https://medicotopics.com/don-baldini-bassist-passed-away-cancer/ I met Don last Spring when he had a gig with some friends of mine. He was so kind and humble and had endless incredible stories about his tenure with Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Tonight Show, etc. I asked him if he would come to my house to play and he graciously agreed but I regret I never got around to calling him. I'm grateful that I did have the chance to meet him.

In defining smooth jazz I'm reminded of Chief Justice Stewart's definition of pornography "I know it when I see it". When I surf stations and encounter smooth jazz, my response is "wow, these musicians sound great, why do I hate this so much?... oh it's smooth jazz." BTW, I was late teens/early 20's when Dave Grusin, Jeff Lorber, Tom Scott, Lee Rit became active and I loved the stuff then, not so much now. I did see Jeff Lorber play at Toad's Place; great show. I do appreciate the Richard T influence on Dave's electric grand solo.

If you could rewind the time... What would you change?

I would have kept Clifford Brown, Richie and Nancy Powell from driving that fateful night. -
A different take on Nords from lifelong amateur
SteinwayB replied to danskeys's topic in The Keyboard Corner
I cannot comment on the virtual analog aspects of the stage but I concur on the White Grand which I use on my NP3. For me it is the best virtal AP I have ever played. It crosses the critical threshold from "I can tolerate this sound" to "I love this sound".
