Be OK I suppose if PB was demoing Roland, he'd be perfect then, but he's not that daft.
BTW I am going shooting this morning last days of the season, "DOES ANYONE WANT TO COME WITH ME" I will listen to you sing then. rotf2 see how high the notes are... cry


The cold facts are that Peter can play circles around most of us here on SZ, including his critics. wink

I was fortunate enough to spend several days working with Peter when the S950 and S750 were being introduced, and in spite of his exceptional musical abilities, he is a very humble person, with a very quick dry wit.

Peter has extensive musical training, which does not get in the way of his expressive playing, but serves to enhance it, and he is a very, very capable improviser, especially on piano.

Great talent and humility are a nice combination, also seen in the personage of fellow SZ'er, Spalding1968 (Worth Quarrie) who, was gracious enough to send me a DVD of his youth choir which he accompanies (and does all the musical arrangements) on a rather old Korg PA1X which simply sounds as good, under his capable fingers, as anything Korg makes today.

Great talent impresses me, Tony, but talent and humility (the latter not to be mistaken for insecurity) does an even better job.

BTW...I still enjoy that video of you playing that huge multiple manual concert organ...the one that rose out of the floor...great playing, my friend. If your shooting is as good as your playing, those birds are in sheep dit.
