Sorry, guys, gigging like crazy...

Donny, sorry, got an NDA for right now. You won't have heard of any of these guys, anyway. It's all emo and hard alternative, stuff you would never in your life actually listen to!...

And for the amateur doctors out there... C'mon guys! What's so sacrosanct about Wersi? Just because it's twice as expensive as anything else out there gives it a free pass? Somehow, we can manage to be brutally honest in our opinions of Roland's, Korg's and Yamaha's, but it's hands off of Wersi? PLEASE...!

I've listened to most of the stuff posted here done on Wersi... OK, maybe it's NOT the arranger. Maybe it's just that the only people that buy these things have a soft spot for old theater organ styles, who knows? But if you can't hear the Blackpool organ roots of much of this, that's not my problem...

But what gets up my nose (well, you can pick your orifice of choice, Beaky) is the constant litany of 'get a Wersi, you cheap sons of guns, and all your problems will go away' (as if the future is already here), despite the lack of any evidence that it will...

Wersi's are twice as expensive, nearly twice as heavy (WHAT? only Roland gets a lambasting for weight?) but, to my ears, nowhere near twice as good as any TOTL closed arranger. Once again, MAYBE it's just the players...

And on a final note, I have a warning... I am getting rather fed up of being personally insulted on this forum by people I have NOT been personally rude to. Look at this thread, there is not the slightest insult to anyone, only my opinion about their arranger. Completely objective, nothing personal at all.

Then firstly, Bill comes in with his '7. Stop thinking everything revolves around Florida beach music and sounds, because it doesn’t, it’s just a very small part in a very big ocean.' Now, I don't know about you, but you see any reference to Florida beach music anywhere? Personal reference #1 And now Beaky's hemorrhoid reference. Look guys, all I ever talk sh*t around here is arrangers. That's what the forum is about. Positive AND negative impressions about arrangers. No-one wants to talk about MUSIC, for Pete's sake, no-one definitely wants to post any music (heck, that's not why we bought an arranger, is it? We just bought them for the specs ). No-one wants to talk about technique, arranging, medley construction, audience techniques, etc.. NOOOO.... all we want to do is blather endlessly about our precious bloody hardware.

Well, OK, then. That's what I'm doing.... But I'm talking smack about your bloody arrangers, NOT you personally. Just lately, I've been getting some pretty personal retorts to comments about arrangers. Just WTF is your problem? It's a bloody keyboard, not your grandkids. Why get so personal in defense of it..? Let's try to keep this forum on the polite tip, if we can. But I am warning you.... I get any more of this personal insults for comments made about an arranger, I'm coming back at YOU personally, OK?

If you think this kind of gutter comment is reasonable, expect to see it returned, in the future. You have been warned
