What's up everyone. Wolf here after.. many years. Some might remember me from the days of Scott Yee (no idea on his whereabouts) and drunken singing laced with profanities.. I had the Tyros5 last, went on gigs.. alcoholism finally got me, Covid years meant I was working from home boozed up from early morning. I beat up the old wife and she had enough, took the dog and we sold the house. I nearly killed myself with alcohol, pancreatitis was just as bad as they say.

Just before getting fired from work I went to the 12 step rehab, and the damn thing worked miracles. I been sober nearly 3 years now. Turning 50 this year, I'm kind of rebooting my life, entering the latter phases. Discovering aging and how much it sucks, how my body no longer does things it used to.

I sold all my music gear during the last phases of alcoholism as I no longer could perform. I thought I needed the booze to be able to sing, but that was wrong thinking. I've done karaoke now and I still got it. All I need now is the final push, which is some new gear. I can't go back to *old* Tyros5 or even the Genos. Genos never worked for me, it didn't even have a tiltable screen, I read lyrics that way. And it seemed more like an old-man-livingroom-type device anyway, not for live gigging. Out came the Korg PA5X, I went to try it at a store.. almost took it, but I somehow felt all the styles were just modeled after some existing hit song.

Now there's some new Ketron, I don't have much info about that yet. Gotta watch Youtube I guess, not sure if it would cater to my needs. Since I always played a Yamaha like from the PSR2000 days, I would feel comfortable still going with Yamaha, but WHERE IS THE NEW ARRANGER? It's been how long since the Genos, they have to be working on something right? Any rumors? And don't give me the Genos 2.0 crap, software alone can't improve that device.

So yea I'm just waiting now. I got cash to splash, give me a keyboard. I still want out there on the stage some day.

Anyways just thought I'd drop a message, shoot me some stories or whatnot, how's it going in your lives.
