I was the RHODES player who had to lug that monster around.... before that it was a cordovox .. the model with amp, electronics, speaker all in one box, and the 'accordion' unit... when I started out in this biz, our house was on the side of a hill with 30 steps to the front door ... accordion in one hand, amp in the other!!.. Like DonM. Dnj, and others, I too have the umbilical hernia to show for it ... (it wasn't until some of these discussions that made me realize where it came from)...

Pro ... lifting weights usually makes you stronger ... did your friend have other problems that led to his heart attack? ..
