American Styles for KN7000/2600

I received the above referenced styles for my birthday from wife Jann.
There are 170 styles available on this SD Card. She purchased them from Simon at Technote US. I am sure he has many more available.
The US Cost is 199.00 Net delivered unless you live in Florida then there would be sales tax.
I highly reccomend these styles. They are really well done with pleasing sounds and easy to use format. Each style has some outstanding solos for your use also.
Several years ago I purchased some of these styles for the KN3000 and they were about 50.00 a floppy with only 4 or 5 styles on it. This is a great bargain and probably a last chance opportunity to get them.
I believe you can order them from Technote in UK at 99 Pounds. People in UK can post here and advise the facts about that.
Thank you to Simon for the good service and an excellent bargain. Thanks to Jann for a wonderful Birthday Present
In closing I will add that installing these styles is like getting a brand new keyboard

Well, I guess a "Happy Birthday" is due to a grand man of music! May the Great Creator grant you many more!

HI BUD,
Good to hear from you. Thank you for the Birthday greeting.
We have been worrying about your absence. Hope all is well with you and now you are back with us
Best to you

Hi Bebop,

These American styles are dearer in the USA than in the UK which is £99.I always thought items purchased in the USA were cheaper.

Well Derek, I guess you have not looked at the exchange rate with the British Pound and the US Dollar that is at an all time low. Last I looked the exchanged rate was 194 to 1.
These styles are from Technote in UK, so we get to pay double for anything that comes over here from your turf. That is why we are not buying much from you right now.

Hiya Bill
As a matter of interest wouldn't the ones you bought for your KN3000 have worked on your Kn7000 or have you lost them meanwhile...?
See you soon

Hi Bill,

How right you are! The exchange rate - dollar vs. pound - is ridiculously high. My cost of living has risen fully 25% in the past year in this country (U.K.) due to the weak dollar or inflated pound (depending on your point of view) without the benefit of any increase in income. The exchange rate is hurting all of us living here whose income is in dollars. Exchange rate fluctuations are one of the risks one has to accept when living in the country of your spouse's birth. When you are retired and on a fixed income it can be a double whammy!

Enjoy your Americana styles. I like them, too.

Best Wishes,

Chuck

ROGER,
I still have the discs for the KN7000 and they do work in the KN7000, however I only have about a dozen styles. I now have all 170 of them and they have been peaked and tweaked for the KN7000 and also my KN2600. I am super pleased with them.
CHUCK,
With the great imbalance in the Dollar/pound your English Money will go twice as far in the states, so it would be a great time for you to stop over and visit your family and this writer before the ratio changes

Bebop,
The current exchange rate is $186 to the pound which makes the American style disc £103.562 as opposed to £99 in UK.

Derek

HI DEREK,
I don't understand your reply.
My calculator shows that at a 1.86 exchange rate times 99 pounds will equal 184.14 USD.
The Exchange rate when I bought the software was 1.94 and that equals $192.06 plus delivery puts it right at the 199.00 US deliverd price.
It is a great bargain at both prices

Hi Again Bill,

Of course you are right in saying now is a great time for folks with British Pounds to travel to the States. But it isn't a good idea for those of us who have to first buy those Pounds with dollars before we can use them. It would be cheaper for me to book online and spend dollars to pay for air travel and all other holiday expenses (rental car etc.).

I would love to come home, Bill, to see my brother, sister, extended family and friends, including you and Scott Yee. But I'm afraid my trip in 2002 was my last trip home. My health is failing me. The breathing difficulties are getting worse. It looks likely that I will be on oxygen within weeks. I will be admitted to a local hospital 21 March for an overnight stay for an examination and evaluation with the aim of assessing whether oxygen therapy is appropriate for me. The respiratory nurse is sure that that will be the outcome. So my good friend, while I would dearly like to come home one more time, it is simply out of the question. My brother and sister, their spouses, and a couple from Oregon we've known for more than 60 years, are coming later this year to see me.

Thanks so much for the good wishes. Take care.

My Best Wishes to You and Jann,

Chuck

Chuck,

Sorry to hear about your health. Will keep you in my prayers.

your friend,

Fran in Florida

Hi Fran,

Thank you. It is always comforting to know one has the prayers and support of friends and family. My hope is that oxygen therapy will improve my quality of life for at least the short term. I feel as though I am receiving the best of care and counsel. The doctors and nurses at the local hospital have been great. I'm in good hands.

Enjoy the Florida Jam, Fran. All of you should have a great time together. Take care.

My Best Wishes to You,

Chuck

Chuck,
I am really saddened by what you have written above. I am so sorry to hear that it has come to that. However there is always hope as those who are your friends began to pray for your recovery from this problem.
I have a lady friend across the street with even a worse problem but it has mostly attacked her lungs. She has been on oxygen full time now about 2 years. Sure she has good days and bad days but she is fully functional now that she is on oxygen. I just helped her get a portable unit and she is back driving, just took a trip to Hawaiia to visit her sister, is keeping house and doing her yard work.
Keep the faith strong my brother and we will keep praying for your recovery.
Best to you,
Bebop

Hi Fran
Just arrived back from Florida last friday (4th visit). There were 4 of us and we started from Sanford and then accross to Clearwater and then down the gulf coast (Sarasota, Venice, Fort Myers, Naples) then accross to (Lauderdale, West palm Beach, Palm Beach) and then on up to a little place which you might know called Palm Bay, and Indialantic, Melbourne, and then back to Kissimmee for the last two nights. We stayed 2 nights at the Super 6 just of I95.
Caught the rain storm on the Sunday when you had the Tornado in Palm Bay and Melbourne. The funniest thing we saw on the news channel was the storm damaged house where they found a whole of marijuana plants
being grown. Be intered to know the outcome of that.
We would had a wonderful holiday and hope to be back again soon.
Regards
Peter B

Peter,

Sorry I missed your post. You were about 2 miles from my house. You went right by a good many members of this forum. Should have given you my address and you could have come in for a pint. If you cross the ditch again, let me know and I will give you directions.

The Tornado hit about 5 miles from us. The folks growing the weed are in the clink. "Lucky you did not stay there".
