Hi and welcome Jerry.
Anyone who is originally from Yorkshire is a very special person
You will see from my signing name that I am in the south of Yorkshire, born and bred.

Welcome to our Forum, there are a lot of nice guys on here and you will be no exception in my opinion.

cheers

Now if we can just Hank to come out of the weeds. Come on Hank we know you are there.

Not even one lady lurker? Come on girls!! Jean Olivia

You mean Hank Williams Jr? Nah!! Really??



I didn't know Hank took a 'hankering' to Arranger Keyboards? That's a new one to me. Cool!!

I sure liked his Dad's songwriting ability.

Humm,......... Hank Williams Jr. looking in on us common folk. Imagine that, wud ya'! Yee Haw!! You know, Hank Jr. was born in DonM's neck of the woods. Yep! Shreveport, LA. He's got Country flowing in his veins right from the get go.

I can't wait until he finally comes out of the 'weeds' and bestows his generosity and vast musical knowledge with all us pea pickers. Come on Hank! You can do it!!

Best regards,
Mike

Welcome Gary and Jerry !!!

If you have been lurkers for years, you should know that no subject is too serious, silly or off-topic. Please continue to read, and we hope you will join in freely.

Tom,
Hank's hard drive crashed, so he was out of commission temporarily. Also, he has been fighting pneumonia for about a month.
Maybe if we wish him well, he'll feel guilty and speak up.

Get well real soon Hank--we need some new blood here.

Hi Folks,
Just as always, this is really a great forum!
Sorry to be a lurker for sometime for the fear of being not be able to post regularly. My hat goes for people like UD, Scott, Don, Gary, Mike, Bebop & others for posting regularly. I'm really enjoying/learning a lot from this forum, even i've been in electronic music for many years now (as a semi-pro/hobby). Just like many of you, i have owned arrangers like Korg, Technics, Roland, Yamaha & Casio. Right now, I'm using Korg PA-80, Digitech VR, another Digitech pedal type vocal processor (i forgot the name), Shure headset mike, HP Laptop, Peavey PA system or Logitech ZX2400 2.1 speaker system for my on/off gigs. I'm not a good kb player neither a very good vocalist just enough to satisfy an audience. Influences are Beatles, Elvis, Herman's Hermits, Buddy Holly, & their contemps, also some newer pop bands/singers. Due to this forum, i'm now rediscovering the awesome Big Bands music.
I'm planning to join the get-together on May even for a day or so. I'm from Southern California, originally from the Far East (Philippines).
Sorry for the long post.
Jimmy
