Here are some gig shots of Synthzone member Roel DeJonge performing with vocalist partner Wietse. Perhaps Roel can provide details. Also included is a pic of Synthzone buddy, Willum (Guillermo) who attended the party as well.

BTW: Roel, curious if you ever received the email I sent you a week ago, following receipt of your pictures? Never heard back from you about that.

Thanks Scott. Nice to know that there was a doctor in the house (Willum). I assume that is his lovely wife Elizabeth with him.

That's her (of course ) dancing right in step with him. - Scott

... and OF COURSE there's someone leaning over the keyboardist's shoulder talking to him while he's trying to play ...
t.

thanks for sharing those scott!!

Jill

Thanks for posting these pics Scott !

The last mail I got was dated 7-7-2005..... did I miss something ?

Details :
In fact it was my own 25th anniversary-party (could not find the money to hire a band .. )
Wietse uses in ear-monitoring directly connected to the headphones jack of the Mackie 1404VLZ-Pro.

De Mackie VLZ, TC-Voiceworks, MD-player and control buttons for the TC are built into the black flightcase positioned upon my homemade sub 15" 100W.(Dawn design copied)
The Mackie SRM450's are pointing to the audience of course.

The lady is (what a coincidence!) Wietse's wife asking me to play a specific song.

We often play in this nice restaurant that has a capacitiy of 120 guests for this room.

My microphone's purpose is not for singing (!) but for communication with Wietse and the audience. (remember Wietse wears a sort of 'earplugs' so without mike he does not hear me talking to him)

It was great Willem and Els attended. We became friends through THIS forum ! (They are a wonderful couple)

Hi Roel. Yes . . . In addition to the email I sent you dated 7-8-2005 (I have no record of sending one dated 7-7-2005), I had subsequently sent you another one dated 7-13-2005, of which included my personal impressions of the Roland G70 after having just auditioned it earlier that same day. Also, kudos to your neighbor Bertil for his excellent photograhpy work. Roel, please send me a private email to confirm that I still have your correct email address & I'll gladly re-send my 7/13/05 letter to you.

Scott

Great pics... thanks Roel and Scott.

I hope this thread posting encourages other members here to step forward to post pics of themself, their keyboard(s) and/or music studio setup, and gig performance shots as well. Our Synthzone arranger kb forum has grown into a quite a special family of music enthusiast friends (from all around the globe) who share the unique passion for making music with arranger keyboards, and exchanging pictures in addition to our music with each other brings us even closer together. Walt Disney got it right: "It's a small world after all". - Scott

Hi Scott and Roel.

Thanks for sharing these great pics.

Cheers.
Armando

Hi Jill, great start to dynamite-looking website. Enjoyed the pics. I notice that you and Uncle Dave share a common gig venue: the Crab Shack !



Jill, hope you'll include music on your website soon.

Scott

absolutely scott! now that i have the new desktop, i need to find all my stereo plugs, etc, - i did download goldwave and the new audacity yesterday.
I'll probably just record some of the old stuff I used to do for now, and put a few "clips" up there, while I'm working on the new!!

thanks for taking a look - just my freebie site from verizon, but should suffice for now!

Jill

Looking good!!......a webite devoted to your music business can be a very advatagous thing if done right!!
BTW my parents lived in Port Richey FL for a long time, been there & many surrounding areas many times...Good Luck to you your on your way.....
heres my website if you care to visit!
www.donnypesce.com

thanks donny - btw - your website is excellent - well put together, and very professional looking! I'll mostly use my "free" site as a personal site, and hope down the road to have a "professional" site that potential customers can look at and listen to.

Hudson FL is right on the border of Port Richey - sleepy town, but growing fast here!
It's VERY different from Cleveland OH, which is where we moved from 18 mos. ago, but we do love it here!

Jill

Jill....when visiting my folks...I used to go to a nice OUTDOOR Bar/Restaurant right on Hudson Beach
http://www.porthudson.com/dockside/

they have live music out on the big deck, know it? Could be a good gig lead

Donny, just noticed that the web link you provided for Mike's Dockside Bar & Grill still reflects their entertainment lineup for October 2003 !? I think it's time they bring back LIVE entertainment. Go for it Jill! - Scott

too funny! I DID actually play there ONCE - hurricane jeanne was on her way, and my partner was DRUNK as usual . . . all the patrons headed for cover, and we had to roll my partner and her hubby into the back of a truck and drive them home . . . lovely, eh? This is why I am now solo . . .
I will be putting a demo disk together for them soon -
my husband and I went there on saturday night - AWFUL live music was playing - a 5 piece band of guys, all guitarists and one drummer - they cleared the place out too - i didn't feel so bad!!! Last time we went there ,about two weeks ago, the 3 piece band was actually singing to CD's - yes, you heard me, CD:S - it was a little scary, but they did have a few folks dancing at least . . BTW, we can actually walk to Mike's from our house!

I"LL BE BACK THERE!!!!

Jill
