Name: David Frost
Age: 33 (tomorrow!)
Occupation: IT stuff
Location: Canberra, Australia (yes I have had Kangaroos grazing on my lawn, No it is not common!)
I started playing Organ when I was ~10 (from the local Yamaha dealer in Wagga Wagga where I grew up). Luckily found a teacher who was into Jazz (up until that time the only music I had heard was top 40 and C&W). Didn't play in any bands till I went to Uni, then played in a Blues band for a while. Once I was comfortable with more than 3 chords we started a 70' disco covers band (sensational way to meet girls, just audition for singers!) doing Bee Gee's and ABBA. Spent the last 6 years in a Reggae Band (Mon) - heaps of fun.
Gear wise I'm a bit of a minimalist, besides my 70's Yamaha Electone I have:
Korg 01/W FD
Roland VK-7
CX-12
I think I still have a EX-800 in the shed and I used to own a DX-100. I still own a DX-11 that I lent to a friend and haven't seen for 5 years!
I don't do much home recording or sequencing - the last thing I do after coming home from work is sit at a computer screen.
Wish List:
1. The local Roland center can fix my VK-7 resetting bug. (I gave them the issue number mentioned on this forum and they went all blank!)
2. Hammond and Leslie (not a lot found their way down under)
3. Nice piano module (01W piano is not quite there)
4. Analog Mooogy thing (wiv portamento!) for solos
5. Couple of SRM-450's (to replace a 1980 Peavey Musician Head)
6. World Peace
If you would like to send me any of items 2 to 5 please feel free.
