Hello music-makers: I am a beginner, and I love this forum and to have a place to ask beginners questions. Most day's I gain some very helpful musical knowledge. The day's I don't learn much, are day's when the questions and answers are just peppered with abbreviations. When one is trying to learn all the operating procedures of a complicated electronic keyboard, and you are presented with dozens of abbreviations, to which you don't have a clue, you just give up and wait for another forum day when things are written in full plain english. I understand the need for the desire to shorten things up, and this complaint is a good way of doing it, it's just disappointing to almost get the understanding but not quite. Some day's it's like a foreign language. You guy's are terrific, and someday I hope to talk your complete lingo. ARJ
