Well I GUESS it would be 'interesting' to live in this perfect world where everyone shared the same opinion, there was no Syria, Greece was drowning in prosperity, Hawaii weather prevailed over every square inch of the planet, and the entire world was populated by mild-mannered, soft-spoken, God-fearing, similarly talented, arranger players with smiley faces pasted to their foreheads and peace symbols tattoed on their butts. In such a world, it would not be at all unusual to discuss the joys of sailing and dental health on a music forum. But might'nt (is that a word?) that get just a little boring? Sort of like SZ NOW, now that we've finally achieved all that 'civility' we (well not me) all wanted. Heck, Donny's not even posting those 'naked' links that used to titilate us so. And my good buddy Fran, heck, with nobody making any pro-Yamaha or anti-Roland posts for him to rebutt, he's just dropped off the map......come back Fran. Gosh, all I can say is......
WHERE IS DIKI WHEN WE NEED HIM.

Peace and Love,

chas

Jerry Lee denies he ever set fire to a piano, but he is quoted in an online article in Esquire Magazine as saying "I never set fire to a piano. I'd like to have got away with it, though. I pushed a couple of them in the river. They wasn't any good."

Fact or fiction, this is one of my favorite movie scenes, and certainly validates the saying- "Presentation is EVERYTHING!" grin
