I purchased the second PSR500 that came to Maryland, right after seeing a guy performing with the first one sold here. He was doing a restaurant job and rocked the place. The following year, I purchased a PSR-5700 from Washington Music in Rockville, MD. That keyboard was well ahead of its time in many respects and I really enjoyed the wonderful piano and vibes sounds it provided. That same year, I was playing the same restaurant job where the guy with the PSR-500 played and stayed there for two years before moving on the the American Legion in Havre de Grace, MD where I played every Friday night for the next 7 years. I can't remember the year I switched to the Roland G-800, and the Korg I3, but neither keyboard was with me for very long before I went back to Yamaha. That Roland had some great styles, but I never really liked the right hand voices. Same was true with the I3. I then purchased a PSR-630, PSR-740, PSR-2000, PSR-3000 and now I'm having a ball with the PSR-S950. I just hope I can work a couple more years before failing lungs force me to retire.
