First of all, I am with UD. I consider Donny my friend. He has always been right there for me. As far as equipment is conscerned, it is none of my business how much gear he buys. I am not much better, but consider the fact that Donny is a working pro, and I know music quality is extremely important to him, as it is to me. As he has said many times, keyboards and like equipment are merely machines.

In other words, they are just tools to attain the best sound possible for him. He buys a keyboard and very enthusiastically explores it, hoping that he has found the Holy Grail. Since we all know it is mighty elusive, chances are it is going to happen again. The bottom line is that he leaves no stone unturned. Besides that, he lways gives a good review. Even if the review contains subjective elements, it is bound to be informative.

I have purchased a Kn7000, a PA800, a Bose PAS, and Roland CM30's, due in part to Uncle Dave and Donny. I wouldn't sell any of them.
