Bevan---does this mean that a EM55 would have the same sound quality as a VA7? This keyboard is looking better all the time.

Andrea---the best music made in Nashville rarely makes it onto the radio(IMHO) and has nothing to do with the hokey over-commercial "country music" that this town is famous for.This is still a guitar town. It is not hard to find players that will make your jaw drop and say"who IS this guy!"---and of course often these talanted people are never heard from again. Commercial success has more to do with hard work and good marketing than with creative output..This town is FULL of home studios and many of the clubs feature singer-songwrighters of world-class quality.
also Andrea, I did enjoy your songs done on the VA7,please fell free to treat us to more anytime! You seem to enjoy an easy-going style of music. Do you ever play anything with a bit of a punch to it?
I am very interested in roland arrangers as I have not been able to find satisfaction with yamaha or korg so far,but no local dealer carries them and information is hard to come by. Thanks for the info.
