Frank, thanks for the very kind words. I feel EQUALLLY blessed to have met you, as well as so many other wonderful people thru this forum. The Synthzone arranger forum is truly a SPECIAL place which would have been inconceivable 5-6 years ago.

Yes, it was indeed a thrill to perform with Sue Downs. She is not only an extradonary musician but a wonderfully warm person as well. Did you guys see her pictured in the in the same article (4/02 Keyboard Magazine) that Dan O'Neil is featured in?

What really excites me is to hear the tremondous musical growth Andrea (Dreamer) & Frank have made since their first Synthzone song submissions (over a year ago). Andrea, I really am touched that you were able to take my suggestion of playing (phrasing) the melody (as though you are actually singing it (thru your playing). Your expressisve vocal phrasing really comes thru in your keyboard playing now. BRAVO! I too, like Dirk (Notlos), find Frank Bez's rendition of 'Over the Rainbow' very cool, with a fresh twist. I really admire Frank's ability to successfully apply unusual (unexpected) styles to his renditions of classic standards, perhaps even Picasso like in his approach. I really Look forward to hearing more from both Andrea & Frank, as well as from are resident jazz affeciando & Solton keyboard player extradonaire, Dirk Baert (Notlos). Dirk, I'm really EXCITED about the prospects of the upcoming XD9, and hope you will be able to showcase and share with us, its' sounds/styles thru your music. Peace and friendship to all. - Scott
