Very fun 90 minutes. I especially loved Lukather's comment at the end. "Yacht Rock?!" Where's my yacht? I played on all those records.

I really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing... I remember the days of the recycler. I could have had so many 70s keyboards in the 80s that no one wanted. A CS-80 for $200 is the one that stands out. 😔

That's fantastic. Thanks for sharing the process.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I'm so envious of you folks on this forum that have the capability to build stuff like this.

This thread just makes me feel good. Thank you, Dave for starting it, and thank you all for sharing the wonderful pictures

Zooey on the left, Scotty on the right. Doing what they do best...

That's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing...

That was pretty awesome Thanks for sharing...

My son forwarded me this link since he knew I'd drool over the collection of synths. I'd had never heard of Mike Dean before but he's apparently quite the heavyweight session player... Enjoy...

Nice job. I've always really liked that intro, but never got around to learning it. Nice collection of analog boards as well. I'm envious...

The Chopin Etude in Am was *the* piece I aspired to play as I continued taking classical lessons. Never really got close - could never get anywhere close to the tempo required. I had never heard of Jacob Gimpel prior to this thread and I hadn't really thought about that Chopin Etude in a number of years. Watching the video above, it's amazing how easy he makes playing that piece look. Thanks for sharing. I always learn so much on this forum. I definitely need to spend more time here...

Also, for those who are fans of Jason Falkner, you should check out the album by "The Greys" which is another pop super-group with Falkner and Jon Brion. Terrific stuff...

Huge fan. Have the now fairly rare, Box Set, which includes demos of all the songs from both CDs as well as a bunch of live material. Got to see them live on the Spilt Milk tour (1993 or 94). They were absolutely amazing. Nailed all those vocal harmonies. Interesting that you bring them up as I've just started listening them again. They did a pretty cool mini-version of "Hold your head up" that led into a never-released song called "Hello". Great power-pop stuff. Having a hard time getting that song out of my head now. Also a big fan of Jason Falkner...

I'd love to be included in the drawing. Thanks, Steve

I've worn Oticon minis for about 6 years now; I think they were around $4000 and this was the least expensive model (had the fewest frequency bands). They took me a while to get used to and had to be adjusted multiple times before I was happy with them. That said, they've made a huge difference. I still don't hear anywhere near as well as people with no hearing loss, but I can have a normal conversation without having to say "What?" if there was any change in volume or I couldn't see the other person's lips moving. Another thing that's nice is that when I have the aids in my tinnitus is significantly reduced (which is huge). The one down side is the dependency factor. My hearing hasn't gotten significantly worse since I started wearing the aids, but my brain tells me that I can't hear anything when I don't have them in. I recommend getting a hearing test from a good audiologist because they can use the results to properly program the hearing aids. I don't have any experience with the OTC aids, but (not surprisingly) my audiologist says they will not work well for me. I do trust her, but I think she really wants me to buy another set... Anyway, hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions and good luck.
