Hi Don P,
I was in touch with Don M the other day about his thoughts on the BK-7m. With what you've described, I can see why he's currently quite happy to be using it.
Goes to show, someone with true talent doesn't really need the latest, greatest bit of gear around, they can sound brilliant with a " tiny little black box."
Alas, I live too far away to ever have the pleasure of going to one of his gigs. oh well. haahaa
Thanks for the review DonP.
Yesterday, July 14, My wife and I drove over to Shreevesport, LA to hear the one and only DonM! It was abssolutely FANTASTIC.
He has a wide ranging repertoire, eveerything from Eric Clapton to Eernest Tubb! Probably even some Beethoven, or maybe that was "roll over Beethoven."
My primary interest was to see the Roland BK-7m put through its paces in a real gig setting; I wasn't disappointed! DonM goets more out of that little blak box than you would imagine. I was really impressed with the Styles, and his style selection. They had a very full sound. Also the lead voices, piano, guitars, sax, and harmonica, sounded great. Of course, the two Bose Compacts didn't hurt. The over-all performance was teriffic.
