Hmmm...
I'm not sure if I would want to live in the 60's or even 70's for that matter...
In the 60's girls were kinda fat (most of them anyway) and I think
only holliwood actresses shaved their legs...Plus all that hippy stuff...DIRTY...
And I'm pretty sure I'd miss my studio after dealing with nothing but modular systems and tape loops. I don't really miss that. I really had enough of unstable and muddy sounding tape echos and other nasty things.
I definitely miss the 80's though.

Paul,
Getting an arranger keyboard is GOOD. It will teach you a thing or two about arrangements, chords and different styles. Nowadays arranger boards pack more firepower then my entire studio did back in late 80's. You can get a lot of them used for a good price. As tech says " When you're fed up with it. Throw it away. We live in a disposable world". So once you've outgrown it ...get a better arranger or may be even a synth with some nice sequencing software and start writhing something of your own. I'm not saying you should decide NOW...take your time, shop around, see what happens.
