Hi Folks,
Just as always, this is really a great forum!
Sorry to be a lurker for sometime for the fear of being not be able to post regularly. My hat goes for people like UD, Scott, Don, Gary, Mike, Bebop & others for posting regularly. I'm really enjoying/learning a lot from this forum, even i've been in electronic music for many years now (as a semi-pro/hobby). Just like many of you, i have owned arrangers like Korg, Technics, Roland, Yamaha & Casio. Right now, I'm using Korg PA-80, Digitech VR, another Digitech pedal type vocal processor (i forgot the name), Shure headset mike, HP Laptop, Peavey PA system or Logitech ZX2400 2.1 speaker system for my on/off gigs. I'm not a good kb player neither a very good vocalist just enough to satisfy an audience. Influences are Beatles, Elvis, Herman's Hermits, Buddy Holly, & their contemps, also some newer pop bands/singers. Due to this forum, i'm now rediscovering the awesome Big Bands music.
I'm planning to join the get-together on May even for a day or so. I'm from Southern California, originally from the Far East (Philippines).
Sorry for the long post.
Jimmy
