This is such a great story !! I pray it brings hope to all of us that good things can and do happen in His time.

AWESOME!!! I cannot believe that we are actually on Yamaha's website! WOW! This is truly incredible, thank you Uncle Dave for telling me and the SynthZone members about the published article!

I read the article and was simply amazed at how well Yamaha presented the story! It said everything about us and it told everything about what Yamaha and the SynthZone did for us on Saturday, March 16th! I am just amazed that they actually published it on the OFFICIAL Yamaha website, that is so cool! And I really appreciate how Yamaha featured the SynthZone in the article. This place is not just a place where regular, everyday discussions go on, but here, miracles really do happen and dreams are made into realities!!!

My Mom, twin brother, and my older brother Ricky were just shocked when they saw our pictures on Yamaha's website! We were all amazed, but then we saw the caption under the picture...Remember, me and Robby are twins, right? And twins always get confused in pictures right? I'm not sure if you know what I'm driving at, but guess what? Robby and I are actually confused in the picture and it says in the caption that "Ryan" is in the center of the photo, when it is truly "Robby" who is in the center of the picture! Truly, I am on the left outside of the picture in the red shirt - I'm not in the middle of the picture - Robby is the one who is in the middle! When we saw that the caption had our names switched we immediately started laughing!!! Remember, I am the one in the RED shirt who is standing on the outside of the picture to the left, while Robby is the one in the GREEN shirt standing in the center! I know that I should have stood in the center, but I never even thought that they would have gotten our faces confused! After all, the keyboard was not only for me, but my whole family - so, I really wanted my twin in the picture too, but I didn't know that they would get our names confused! But seriously, it is no big deal that my brother is depicted as me. But, can Yamaha somehow fix the picture so that the caption reads that I am the one standing to the left (in the red shirt) and Robby is in the center (in the green shirt)? Is that ok if I ask for that favor? Also, the front news page has the wrong picture too - it has Robby as me! So, the front news page probably needs to be fixed as well! Sorry about that... Anyway, it is so hilarious that Yamaha got us confused! LOL!!!

Plus, my Mom was the one who took the picture, she is a good photographer, isn't she? Not only is she a good photographer, but she is the best Mom in the entire world!!! I love my family, they are so wonderful! [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img]

Still, I am shocked that Yamaha published our story...hopefully they can get the confusion fixed with Robby and I. [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif[/img] People have always gotten our names confused, including Yamaha!!! LOL!!! [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif[/img] The story was written very well and, like someone said, it recapped our story perfectly! And, Uncle Dave, Mark Anderson, James Hatcher, and George Kaye are all mentioned in the article and of course, the SynthZone is mentioned in the article too!!! Yamaha is truly amazing and I thank them so much for what they have done for my family and me! Like I said in the article, "Yamaha is a corporation with a big heart!" [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img] I am also VERY, VERY thankful for what all of you have done for me out here on the forum! You have given me so much wisdom and I value your advice! Thank you so much for your wisdom, encouragement, and for everything else you have done for me!

Well, thank you again Uncle Dave for telling me about this and thank you everyone for the encouragement! And, don't worry, VERY soon you will be able to hear my music along with my twin brother's music too!!!

See you all around and thank you for everything!
