1. Joined the Apple iPod bandwagon and purchased a G4 40 GIG iPod, and really loving it for both on & offstage pleasure. I now have over 5,000 of my all time favorite and/or essential songs (from 'all eras' of pop music: 1890's to present) conveniently accessible for almost instant (less than 10 sec) recall & playback. Apple's copyrighted click wheel technology makes this possible and a marvel to behold. I've become a real iPod fan. The other advantage of the iPod is the ability to use it as a storage device, transfering data between computers and sharing with friends via USB/fireware.

2. Got upset with Uncle Dave for the FIRST time (?) this year (if you can you believe that : http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/009275.html

3. Spotted my first sign of gray hair beginning to appear

excactly the reason I DIDNT BUY an Ipod...
10 seconds? that an eternity for stage use VS almost Instantly using my laptop to fire of
MP3 songs, lyrics, SMF files......plus searching ability is far more proficient compared to the little ipod screen......

But not bad for personal use to keep in your pocket though

Donny, on the job, I use the iPod primarily to provide appropriately fitting background music during breaks. I created a number of 'playlists' to suit specific gig venues & occasions. I don't use the iPod for backup to my actual performance as I rarely use midi files either. One thing I like to do is create playlists which feature other songs from the artists that I showcase in my show that evening. It kind of ties everything together. - Scott

I sold my two keyboards (9000Pro and SD-1)and bought a Tyros that I love more and more.

I played with fantastic musicians in the last Concert of my friend Chico.

My hair is going away.

I'd like to add ....

Taking my son to a NFL game.

Open my house to become fellowship meeting place for church.

Invited Christian speakers of stature with gifts of prophecy (an eye opener), miraculous healings (amazing) to my house and hosted 40 people fellowship gatherings. Played keyboards for a worship leader and setup sound system for 4 singers at my house with Logitech Z2200 as the center piece.

Doing business with UD for the first time (swapped keyboards) for the church. This will be finalized soon.

Soon will be going to Indonesia with my 3 year old son.
