Hey Synthzoners:

I haven't been around much since selling my Tyros II. Been playing on a Roland FP-80. Sound/feels great and is really heavy.

Since I was 10, my personal Mt. Everest was to play Rhapsody in Blue in concert. Some 40+ years later, the time has actually arrived. I will be the piano soloist playing Rhapsody in Blue with the Delaware Valley Wind Symphony on Feb 27 at 7pm at Chatlos Chapel at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA. If any of you are in the area and not gigging that night, it would be great to meet you and have you join me as I climb my mountain. Details in below poster and at www.delvalwinds.org A video will be made, I'll post that too when it becomes available.

Congratulations!! Kudos to you.

Back in my early 20s just before I stopped studying piano I started to work on Rhapsody in Blue, it's quite the undertaking it was a difficult piece to learn I gave up on it .

I played the clarinet solo on that piece in my senior year of high school. Tough nut, even back then when I practiced 6-8 hours a day! Wish I could come, but I'm booked that night - knock 'em dead!
