Hi,
Can I take this to mean that you heard percussive sounds that I can't quite emulate on my PSR540?

Sounds like a great time. Even in this digital age, nothing beats real music played by great musicians on real instruments who really know what they're doing. I'm sure I would have enjoyed being there very much.

Reading your account, I paused to wonder how all our new technology will change our understanding of what music is, just as Edison and the phonograph turned music into a consumer commodity- something one could "own" as opposed to being only performed or experienced... I wonder if an event such as you described is in danger of disappearing just as, for example, blacksmithing became more or less a lost art with the arrival of the automobile?

But I won't rant. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Michael
