I've (painfully) learned to play it by rote but if I lose my concentration for even a second, DISASTER! I do, however, love Paul Desmond's beautiful sax and give him credit for writing something 'outside the lines'. BTW, that's how I know I suck as a musician because a good musician should be able to handle an odd meter with no problem. 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, no problem; 5/4, YIKES!.

It ain't natural. I can't play it.

Easy to understand this statement. Maybe it should have been, “If it ain’t natural to me I won’t play it”.

A classical musician does not normally do well with pop music because he dpes not feel it. I have been playing professionally for over 60 years but I rarely played a country song unless I had to. Did I like country music? Yes I did – but wasn’t natural to me. In short, I had no feel for the music. When I listened to Don’s music I smile, it’s beautiful. He is a natural for what he does.

I don't think Sparky is talking about a Roland.. Discover5m was 2003, MV30 was 1990, RA800 was 1996..

I had a Korg 01/W. I don't think it came with touch screen. How about the Korg M3M (though 2007) if not the Discover 5m?

My bad... I overlooked the touch screen...Actually the only one mentioned with a touch screen was the DisCover 5m... maybe he was mistaken about the year..
