Gotta take a break and learn how to play my new toys. Got a stack of keyboards and books and more are on the way. I opened the cartons containing the SH-201 and GW-9; plugged them in and haven't touched them since. Haven't opened the boxes for the Gator case or FC-7 pedal for the G-70. Got an interesting instrument; a Santucci 10 string from Hank B. It's a bass/guitar combo on one neck. Used it on two jobs, but really need to get up to speed. Bought a G-70 that don located at a music store in his area; opened the box to check for damage, but haven't plugged it in yet. Today, I bought Don's Midjay, 6 note pedal and controller. It'll arrive this week.

"Gentleman Don" will help with the G-70 (he located it for me and loaded on the new operating system), the Midjay and the controller. He loaded SD-1 sounds and will talk me through the process.

You folks are on notice. As soon as I'm through with a major project, I'll be asking a lot of questions and needing help. The availability of advice from people I trust is the only reason I've gone a little nuts lately.

Luckily, I've got a couple of kids that set-up equipment for me when I have back-to back jobs.

This will give me two portable systems added to the B-3 and Rhodes that stays at a regular job, and the two permanent systems that stay at other regular jobs.

Plus, I'm not selling my newest MS-60, and looking forward to the availability of the new Ketron next year.

Gotta love those new toys...
