The mega star and legend that is David Bowie was on TV recently promoting a song from his new album and he performed on stage, with his band playing a STYLOPHONE.

Don't know if you folks in the US know what they are but they are like a little toy keyboard with a distinctive (grating) sound, only plays one note at a time and promoted heavily in the seventies as a novelty. You play it by rubbing the stylus up and down the metal keyboard. VERY BASIC.

My point is that to most 'Real' (whatever that means) musicians the tools do not matter a hoot. You use what you can in whatever way you need to to get the music out of your head and into other folk's ears.

Lonnie Donnegan pioneered Skiffle by making music with an old washboard and some thimbles. Have any of you ever seen a photo of that old beat up guitar Elvis cut his first tracks with at Sun?

The tools don't matter IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!!

See you got me shouting now!
Best wishes
