I used to copy vinyl records to cassette all the time. There were no CD's, that came much later.
I'm certain I wasn't the only one, copying of recordings has been around a LONG time!
You had it good. I had to make my cassettes by recording songs off the radio. It was always a revelation years later to hear the actual recorded version with the whole intro on it, not cut off because I was asleep at the switch.

I have a Knox stand but I had to "adjust" it with a Sawzall to bring the upper keyboard down closer to the lower one. I'd like to drop it at least another inch if I could.
I think my next plan will be to add some spacers under the lower keyboard to raise it a little.

Our new guitar player would probably stand there soloing the whole time and no one would be able to hear the organ.

Bill must be unfamiliar with "Gimme Some Money" by Spinal Tap...

Here's what I need:
2 tier stand that can be assembled/disassembled in 10 minutes or less for gigging
I've been looking at the Rockville Z45w- https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-Z45W-Z-Style-Keyboard-Adjustable/dp/B0BR8Q5215/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=rockville%2Bkeyboard%2Bstand&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840&th=1
I use one very similar to that one except it is by Knox.
I found the second tier to be much too tall so I used a Sawzall to trim the legs down to about 1/3 their original height. I don't want to be totally hidden by the upper keyboard! Just a little bit.

I learned Steppin' Out several years ago, just as I was coming back to the piano as an adult. I need to re-visit it now that I have a few (barely a few) more skills! I've always liked that song.

In the film on Mozart, he hears (reads the notation and plays) a fellow composer’s piece and starts riffing over it with alternative approaches. The composer is insulted. Yeah it was a fictional depiction no one could know the truth about, however, this whole premise here having Rudess play to the music is insulting.
"Hmmmm, that doesn't really work there. Did you try this, Or this? Or...... This?? Ha ha ha ha!"
For the record, I'd never heard the Alicia Keyes song either. Or seen Men In Black.

Indeed! Kudos to Tim for thinking outside of the box. Suddenly drone photography is everywhere these past few years but Tim is the first and only one I have seen who has tried it at night. I might have to give it a try!

Small world, I was just browsing their page yesterday. Must be because I am on the NPAN email notifications list.
Oh, hey, Tim is a speaker this year! 👍

If I was a concertgoer back in the day, if Pete Townshend or Ritchie Blackmore launched into a ten-minute guitar-destruction at the end of the show, I'd be mad! They could have played a few more songs instead.

But seriously, we're currently learning "Alabama Getaway" by the Grateful Dead and I'm surprised by some of the comments I am reading on the live versions on Youtube. It seems some fans didn't care for the "plinky dinky" keyboard sounds from the late Brent Mydland. Well, it is what it is, and I'd think their fans would accept it as it is. But I was surprised to hear an interview with (I think) Mickey Hart who said keyboards (well, piano in particular) didn't belong in their music. I guess everyone has an opinion.

I think I have some of those folks in my band picking songs....

We just played in November, and fortunately for the civilized would no one has put us up on Youtube. But I have seen videos our singer's father took..... I realized I need to raise my stand up a little with some spacers (it's at max height already). The upper keyboard is fine, but for my lower one I am too hunched over!

"My first 10,000 photos weren't anything special. The next 10,000 weren't much better".

I use a setting called Pop Piano on my Casios, because it seems brighter and the "regular" grand piano sounds tend to get overwhelmed by drums and guitar.

I want pants like Geoff Downes wears in this video:

It has a "Meow" setting; what more could anyone want?

I bought my Nord Stage4 at the San Francisco GC. I wanted to play it having not liked Nord Fatar actions in the past. The website said it was in stock.
The GC by me had one in the keyboard room, but oddly they didn't have it on their website. I think it was the proverbial white elephant.

When people ask "who do you play with?" and you say, "I'm a freelancer, but I do have a few projects I'm involved in steadily," people hear that as, "I'm not good enough to be in someone's band." [b]Like you're a substitute teacher[/b]
Like Ned Schneebly.... A temp.

We shall find out. I am amazed at how fast these are selling out. Four days for the first one, and just a few days for this one.
It's good to be popular! You guys have found the right mix of locale and presenters I think. Must be the word is out!
I've been so simultaneously busy and lazy at the same time I have barely even looked at my pics from last time, let alone post any anywhere. So I have to take a pass this time.

I saw the thread title and assumed it was about a town in Indiana. Not so the case.
We have an Anna here in Illinois about five hours south of me. Far, far southern IL.

Act quickly, just two spaces left! Who's going to get them?

Do I see the next Mercury 7 album cover amongst the selection? I vote for number 4.
