I live in the smallest state in the USA, Rhode Island. The city I live in Cranston is the 3rd largest city with a population of about 80,000 people.

The state of Rhode Island has lots of scenic coast line. It's called the "Ocean State" and is also home to Newport where the America's Cup Races were held for many years.

In the capital city of Providence there are many world class restaurants that rival and even surpass the quality restaurants found in the nearby Boston, Masschusetts. Many Rhode Islanders are fans of the Boston Red Sox baseball and the New England Patriots football team. I do like the Patriots, but am a New York Yankee fan.

My full time gig is as an Information Technology Coordinator for a three office law firm in the neighboring state of Massachsetts. If it plugs into an electrical outlet I'm responsible for it, that includes the coffee machine as well

I've played piano since I was in my early teens. A few years ago I purchased a Clavinova CVP 107 and discovered it was much more fun than just playing an acoustic piano. In October of 2004 I decided to start playing gigs at retirement homes and any other venues that would hire me. I started out using a DGX505 , which I traded after about 6 weeks for a Casio Priva 400. But still wasn't satisfied with the sound or styles of the 400. I was a little reluctant to purchase a PSR 3000, since it only had 61 keys. But bought one anyway and haven't looked back. I adjusted to the 61 keys in a couple of weeks. If I'm doing a gig where I want to play solo piano and need 88 keys I take along the Casio and use it as a controller board for the PSR3000.
