If you automatically move all the Beato threads to another forum understand that you in fact are “cancelling” the discussion of what many of us consider educational content that would help many members of this forum… Me included.
True. There are a ton of threads on the forum that discuss non-keyboard-specific music theory discussion that I would hate to see banned.
The simple fact is that there are a great number of non keyboard subjects that are of interest to keyboardists that belong here. Pretty ironic that the Anti-Boomer ranters are the most vocal gate keepers of this place.

Please do.
Please don't. I like the threads.
For the police, there are plenty of seemingly acceptable non-keyboard threads here that don't seem to be triggers to y'all.

I had an Inland Marine policy when I was playing regularly. It had to be specially written for every item and professional use. I'm not sure why they called it that. Maybe they thought boats sinking inland were as good an actuarial investment as someone walking off with the CP70.
Now I self insure everything except the house and liability as I can live with the downtime and replacement cost.

Doc, I can't follow what you're saying.
But anyway, Rick's numbers have essentially snowballed recently due to a concerted effort to score Interviews.
He realized about a year ago that he couldn't consistently score Big Name interviews without about a 2-3 million subscriber base.
The reason is that these Big Name musician's managers and handlers will not give the time of day to a small time youtube channel. He made the effort to increase his subscriber base to reach a critical mass that would allow him to get on the radar of these top musicians. Once he hit about 3Million, critical mass was reached and his ability to get these Interviews.
I really don't understand why these kids are taking the effort to get all triggered about his opinions. Maybe they should drive out to Carmel and yell at Clint Eastwood.

This is tangential to the thread, but after the release of the Mancini 100th Session album last week, I've been in a real Henry Mancini mood, and have been rereading his arrangement/orchestration textbook Sound and Scores, written in the early 60s (before he even wrote Pink Panther!). At the end of the book, he wrote a brief conclusion:
The author lost me with the first sentence ...
He's saying that his comment is tangential to the thread and that the quote from Mancini has some bearing on the effect of new technology that needs to be considered by musicians of the present day from his perspective of the present day in the 60's.

This performance from a long while ago still gives me goosebumps, easily my favorite cover of that song:
D8mn. Ruth Brown, Hiram Bullock, George Duke and David Sanborn are jamming among the stars.
Phillipe Saisse held down the FM duties.😁
Heavy hitter musicians across the board (no pun intended). 😎
Fantastic! Love to see how much they are enjoying the performance!!!
David Sanborn's hair is also something to behold!

I often wonder how much he uses his son to help fill in the blanks with the more difficult song analysis.
Can you imagine having the world's best human transcriber in the house with you?!?

Those of you who find Rick insufferable, absolutely do not watch his latest video. Seems he might have been reading some of the comments here - he's on a tear! (I'm enjoying his rant right now!). I'm with him 100%.
Boy did he ever hit the nail on the head! Thanks for posting that.

Beato says he does videos on artists and topics that interest him. He claims this is how be avoids (and will keep on avoiding) burn out that most youtubers succumb to. The interviews and a lot of the WMTSG tunes are what I mostly gravitate to. I check in on his channel every week or so. If people want to post here on some topic or artist he's covered, I'm fine with that. It's not like this forum has a S/N problem (plus, we're all different. One person's signal is another person's noise.). I think a lot of what's happening here is the BDS (Beato Derangement Syndrome).

Pretty, schmetty. It's easy to navigate, gets the job done, a no-brainer to set up and use, not to mention free and pre-installed on every Mac. Should I switch to a different backup program because of how it looks? And don't you go talkin' 'bout my Heathkits! I built and used a few of those amps! 🙂
I just wonder about it since it was built back in the 90s and Apple has had trouble managing their phone backups, restores and upgrades.
I did build a Heathkit multimeter and iambic keyer back in the day. They were fun and usable, but only barely - I may plug the keyer in - It was a luxury at the time (The "accu - keyer schematic was in the literature and had memory and wish I could have built it) . Putting channel numbers on their CRT TV's was pretty novel at the time. Then they started advertising this new word called "Software" and I remember thinking WFT is "Software". 😂

Can NFL broadcasts be far behind?
I think Basketball has been requiring this for years and years for their new announcers. Half of them sound exactly like Marv Albert.
I was thinking that it was a job prerequisite, so I'm sure NBA will be adopting it.

It seems like a very bizarre and antiquated type of program.
?? Isn't it a more-or-less typical incremental backup program dressed up in a pretty and easy to navigate UI?
That's fine. It's just my impression of a UI that looks like something pre-dating the even now now out moded Skuomorphic Jony Ive Era of 10 or 20 years ago.
I'm fairly surprised you find it pretty and dressed up. Are you still going by Heathkit and Sears Catalogs for your standards? Or perhaps playing disco music from the 70’s

Henry Mancini at his Finest!!! The Theme From Columbo.

Chick Corea Blue Miles. This is my favorite incarnation of his Electric Band. Gary Novak on Drums and Jimmy Earl on Bass because they can swing better than the originals.

I often wonder if Time Machine actually works. I’ve never had a crash so never needed to restore.

My college aged daughter loves Taylor and thinks she’s a genius because everything she writes is a masterpiece and there has never been anyone in the history of music as talented. I tied to argue against her for about 5 minutes. It was going nowhere, and I just gave up.

Little Feat Fat Man in the Bathtub. Top 5 live performances Ever IMO. Billy Payne's masterful synth solo is classic! The polychord over bass is just so tasty. IIRC Bill talks about using the synth in David's Keyboard Chronicles Interview -- Czech it out!!
(Richie Hayward was from my Iowa Town).

Tom's a smart man, knowing when to pull the plug and escape from the touring life and enjoy his later years.
Not everyone can do this, but Tom, being the master and commander of his game is able to to it.
Czech out the Keyboard Chronicles podcast interview of Tom from David above, where he talks about this.
So happy for him to be living his dream.

Tom is an absolute monster!
if you want your mind blown, skip to 3:30 of the following video of him blowing the doors off of Spyro Gyra.

As we age, I think it is key to avoid injuries due to gravity. That's falls, fractures, hernias, and back injuries.
Do not put yourself in the position of being injured. Always get assistance or let some younger guy climb the ladder or lift the equipment. Never allow yourself to become immobilized. if possible.
After 60, we're one hospital stay away from the grave. And that's not just from the primary injury. Half the time, the secondary infection/illness is what kills you. It's in the medical literature.
Then there's the old adage, "he died of a hangnail". Ignored the pain, developed an infection, was sent home with antibiotics, became immobile, and died of a pulmonary embolism.
Or "died of a sprained ankle". Couldn't cook due to the pain getting around with the walker. Died of a fall due to fainting brought on by hypoglycemia secondary to diet.
Says the guy with a CP300, Montage 8 and a 3300 leslie .....
One of the reasons I haven't gigged much lately. I may try to rectify that if I can get comfortable with something like a YC73 or similar.
Anyone heard of this guy Rick Beato?

What!?! We all know it was him and I’m not sure why you’re cowering down to the Bully Of The Forum.
I took a break hoping he’d take a rest, but coming back it’s just insufferable as ever.
I’ll be joining Grey.
See ya.
