George,
It's amazing that my most pleasurable moments of NAMM delt with meeting people. First of all the KETRON crew you, John Deep & Nigel with his wife (I think I'll frame my synthzone T shirt ... Nigel and his wife are adorable - when do I get invited to Australia, Nigel?). Meeting Scott Yee was also interesting ... now I can attach a face to all these detailed emails!
Together with Dan O and all the others, that was a family right there. As if that was not enough, I went into the GEM booth and met Christ Anthony. I got a beautiful demo of the GENYSIS keyboard (Fri). As surprising as it might sound, Chris and I didn't really meet ... until he came to the KETRON booth Sat afternoon (one day after) for this was when he recognized me as 'Ketron_AJ'! That meeting was warm indeed. Meeting other programmers and Engineers has always been 'special'.
Strange as it might seem, I really felt sad leaving the hotel the following morning (Sunday). Although back in once piece, I must admit that it was rather a rough trip (as America West cancelled here, took us out of airplanes there etc). I don't think I'll be using that airline again! After being at the airport at 7am for a 9am departure, my journey finally began at 2:30pm and ended at 11:30pm in Baltimore! You now see why I must get some zzz.
Later all!!
AJ
