Glad to hear George's operation was a complete success! I'm looking forward to his full recovery and once again joining us here at the Zone with his knowledge, expertise, and insight of Arranger Keyboards.

We don't realize what a treasure we have in George. He is one of our only links we have to inside information of various keyboard companies and the products they sell. Especially now since Yamaha has deemed it fit to exclude their employees from participating on this or any other keyboard forum not officially sanctioned by Yammie. And to prove my point I dare any Yammie employee to post in response to this or any other thread on this Forum.. It ain't gonna happen folks. Even though Steve Deming is probably itching to do so.

Yamaha needs to lighten up!! Companies that become a recluse to their customers and to the prying eyes of the world are setting themselves up for failure. Yamaha seems to be headed for the Dark Side along with their brazen and sudden change of company policy.. > Yamaha's new motto: "It's for us to know and rest of the world to figure out - on their own".

Here's to a speedy recovery George!

Best regards,
Mike

PS: Btw, congratulations on your new G70 kingjoeyjr2.
