Now THAT'S a list of 'cool'...

Guess how many of them play the S900 (or a G70!)?

And don't make me print a list of keytar users. That would be TOO embarrassing for you, Ian.

But let me just drop ONE name...

Jan Hammer

'Nuff said...

Just funnin' with you, Diki...you're soooo serious lately.

I used to own three Melodicas...two of the old metal ones with the buttons, a tenor and a soprano, and a newer tenor...one with the real keys.

Start smilin'...you're gonna hurt yourself with all that anxiety.

You need a few months in a place like Cape Breton Island...much calmer here...laid back...peaceful.

I'll even put on a pot of tea for you.

Ian

Just funning with you, too, Ian (I thought the emoticons made everything clear )

Sorry, I'll have to pass on the tea... can't stand the stuff (it's why I got deported from England - it's mandatory over there!)...

BTW, come on down here... Spring Break makes the beaches look SO much better (if that is possible... Google Destin and marvel at the blindingly white beaches and emerald water). Pretty peaceful down here, too, y'know...
