Thanks, Brian, for the nice compliments and words of encouragement! That is awesome that you homeschool your sons! If you do not mind me asking, where can my family and I find resources for homeschooling? We basically need an agenda and an idea of exactly what we need to do in order to complete high school successfully. Education is, of course, one of the most important goals in my life and I would really, really appreciate any information or advice that you could give my family about homeschooling! Thanks! We have been doing an excellent job with homeschooling and we feel that it is a productive way to learn. You can e-mail me at: composerryancontact@yahoo.com

Right on, George Kaye's the man for selling products out here on the forums! I've heard many good things about George and he was even so kind to ship the accessories for my keyboard straight to my front porch - the SynthZone (and Yamaha!) not only donated a keyboard to my family and I, but they also donated vital accessories like a microphone, stand, and more! And George Kaye played an important role in the donation by shipping the accessories straight to my family's house!

Well, see you all around everyone and great to hear that you homeschool your sons!
Ryan

Welcome Brian.

I must agree that Psr 2000 is a great choice for you.
Enjoy it and enjoy our forum.
Brasilian regards

Sorry to be boring, but I think my PSR2000 is wonderful too! DonM is spot on, Yamaha may have messed up big time with the original release of the keyboard but that doesnt change its abilities.

Welcome Brian, to the best forum on the Net.
I hope you find the KB that makes you happy.
I won't suggest any KB's, because I would just say
9000 PRO any way, Soooo I won't say it.

I finally did it. I just ordered a PSR 2000! I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it.

Actually I am pretty happy

Thank you for all of your input and suggestions and question. It helped a lot in making the decision on what to get. I will let you know when it arrives.

George,
Thank you for helping me. It was great talking with you on the phone. It filled in part of the missing communication of only using text to communicate in this forum. I got the tracking numbers today. I was out all day but now I'm back (to read my 64 mail messages that suddenly arrived while I was out. Was that George playing the keyboard in the background?
Hope things worked out at the store.
I will let everyone know when it arrives. Thanks for your support. Looking forward to more interactions and dialogs here.

I would also like to echo George's thanks to the group for suggesting I contact him. I was actually planning on it from reading through several hundred message over the last 2 months before I posted anything. I really enjoy seeing the support and friendship on this group.

Scott,
I was already on the main group for the PSR2000 and last night after you suggested it I joined the other 2 groups. Probably why my mail box suddenly is filling up Thanks.

I feel like writing a song about this BBS... Oh... The Synth Zone guys are the best around, (sung to the tune of camptown races?) doo dah. I'll have to wait for the keyboard arrives.

Its like the old joke:
Son: Dad I'd like to be a musician when I grow up.
Dad: Sorry Son, you can't have both.

Have a great day
- Brian

Hi Brian
Scott's right about the Yamaha-psr-styles and songs groups. They're really great! If you don't want to drown in emails, you can choose to receive a Daily Digest from the Yahoo Groups. Or you could even choose "No emails". Doing that would still allow you to read the emails directly at the Yahoo group website.
I choose Daily Digest for the songs group, and separate emails for the styles group. That combination works well for me. When I want to download the MIDI songs, I just go to the Yahoo site and get them from the message attachments.
Tom G.

Thanks Tom. I will try it a few ways and see what works best. Maybe one day I will get other things done besides reading e-mails

Confused? Bewildered? My work here is done.
