I occasionally find myself at the opposite end of the spectrum on some topics, mostly I think because playing music has for almost all of my life been such a passion for me. Because it is such a passion, occasionally I can be a bit hard headed about it...must be that..can't be because I'm Sicilian can it?..lol. Still, I am grateful for EVERYONE here.

I was glad to see Boo put up a post recently. He and I shared a few colorful disagreements on this forum but I like him a lot just the same and have even exchanged emails with him on a few occasions.

I was equally glad to see DanO come back and post. I had the opportunity to talk with him on the phone a while back when I was looking for a case for my PA80, and I really enjoyed the conversation.

Ditto to you UD..glad you are still around here. I like to read guys like you and DNJ, especially when you share about your wealth of experience as working musicians / entertainers. It is an aspect of music that I still care about deeply but rarely particiapte in any longer. Philly is one of my favorite cities to visit btw...so someday maybe we can meet or better yet maybe I'll get to see an Uncle Dave show.

As for George Kaye..I can only WISH his store wasn't so far away. I'd have a blast and would be happy to visit and buy from him.
He helped me out a lot last Spring when I was befuddled by my somewhat cranky MZ2000.

Squeak D and I have regularly exchanged emails and ideas about arrangers and music in general. He and I sort of learned our MZ2000s together and eventually replaced them..lol

Scott has been a great source of information here at the forum, and in emails back and forth as well. He is very detail oriented and so good at explaining stuff. For me, I can only wish that I could explain things in such a manner.

DonM,

Its been good sharing our experiences and likes and dislikes about our boards here. I get a chuckle out of the humorous stuff that you throw out there as well.

There are so many others out there as well, and I would write two pages if I mention all of you, but thanks to everyone for sharing this bond and wealth of knowledge. For the past few years, thanks in great part to reading this forum and everything else that Synthzone itself has to offer, I have gained a good bit of knowledge about modern equipment and applying it to my playing. I have also been able to learn about and acquire tools that I may have otherwise never known existed. Thank You all,

AJ
