Headline: God Releases an improved version of Sunshine!

Today, God decided to release Sunshine version 1.01 for the Earth. The update includes several much-needed improvements, including no skin cancer and year-round moderate temperatures throughout the world! An added bonus is that the Earth will never be dark again.
Synthzone reactions vary among members.

DNJ says, "What a tremendous miracle! I'll never have to wear clothes again! In fact I'll never even have to go inside again. It will always be warm. We won't need electricity because the light will always be on! I'll never need anything else again."
He posted several links to websites discussing it. Two hours later he deleted the links and all references to it, and claimed it never happened.
Gary D. says, "I think it will indeed be great, after I redesign it to make it more effective. I'll do that later today after I work three nursing homes and while I'm sailing my boat to take photos for a magazine article I'm writing about it."
Uncle Dave says, "Wow, these women sure look different in the daylight."
Captain Russ says, "Oh I'm sure it's great, but I hate to change anything that was already working."
Fran says, "Roland will do it better, just wait!"
Several chimed in with, "It just happened, there is no God."
Bebop says, "Now I can drive my motor home 24 hours a day and never have to turn the lights on. Right? Right?"
Brickboo says, "I've always laid bricks from dawn til dark. How will I know when to play sax?"
Scottyee, recently resurrected from the dead, says, "I first heard the news as I was playing rootless chords on my Steinway Grand piano, and I damned near hit a wrong note!"
Diki says, "It will never work. It's just not possible. And what does this have to do with arrangers?"
Ian says, "You babbling idiot, it certainly IS possible. Yamaha was the first to develop it."
CGiles says, "You're both idiots, and I'm not."
AJ says, "Ketron has had it for years, but decided to delay the release until new bugs were added. Just wait for summer! Some summer. Maybe not this one. . .wait, it will be summer all the time now. By the way I have three of the old systems for sale on Ebay."
Jorgen added 23 new updates to his website with utilities designed to make it easier to use.
GeorgeK says, "I didn't sell it but I'll still be happy to help anyone try to understand how best to use it."
Rikki says, "I've already developed a way to use it to power eleven of my keyboards."
Andrea didn't comment, but posted a song he recorded reflecting the true beauty of it.
Tony Rome says, "The sun already shines around the clock in Cozumel."
HankB says, "Wonderful, now the UPS truck can run 24 hours a day. It will NEVER pass my house without stopping again!"
All the Tonys got together and sang songs praising it, in Italian.
Nigel said, "If this gets out of hand, I'm closing the thread, so it's like it never happened, and I will slap the wrist of anyone saying it has.
TomC says, "I'm reserving judgment until DonM tries it."
DonM says, "I will just write something funny about it. Maybe it will be funny. My wife will tell me if it's funny. She laughs at me a lot."

Brilliant! You are a natural.

DonM

You should be writing copy for an advertising agency.
Very creative mind.

Musicman, thanks, but I've been there and done that! I was advertising manager for Murphy Oil Corp. back in the 70's. Later owned a newspaper. Sold that in 77 and have been a musician ever since. In fact, I have made hundreds of dollars in the music business.
DonM

Don I'm talking off my clothes & running outside streaking as we speak
Great read funny stuff!!!

Donny, don't forget to sing Gary's song...

GREAT STUFF from an old PR pro!

What fun!

A lot of people don't realize it, but that IS Gary in the video.
DonM

Yep, that was me before the South Beach Diet.

I refuse to comment on this preposterous anomoly because I wasn't mentioned. May the Force be with us. And God bless Tiny Tim.

Cass, not to feel bad my ego was bruised too!! Nice work Don

Me neither - probably 'cause I didn't like the SD

man, i was out too, and i'm a roland/ketron fan too

Nice Don!! Very Entertaining ... We need more!!!

Guys, be careful what you ask for! I just ran out of time. It's a very fertile field to plow.
I'm glad it's being taken as it was intended!
DonM

Sourgrapes. For those of you not mentioned, look up the term "A-LIST".

chas

I guess you're right; I would never expect MY name to be on the same list as YOURS.

So when does the A-list come out?

Don't be too sure, Cass. Have you checked the latest FBI's "10 MOST WANTED"? How about the "Registered Sax Offenders" list (that's a list of all those attempting to make an arranger Sax sound like a real Sax). Hey, we may have more in common than you think.



chas

... well, I GUESS I got in as one of "All the Tonys ..."

Oh, heaven forbid...

BTW y'all, I'm sitting down here on the gulf beach in Florida for two weeks. Anyone playing nearby? Clearwater/St. Pete.

Find out where eddie shoemaker is playin?

Just drive south from Clearwater to Aligator Alley, then directly across the state to Stuart--that's where you'll find him.

Just came across from the Vero area. I'll have to tell my sister; she's going that way.

The A-list is a colloquial term for the most bankable movie stars in Hollywood. Often these top actors in the film industry are able to earn US$20 million per movie.

I had no idea you were in that income bracket.

Steve, it's a JOKE, for crissake. Don't be so quick to try to turn it into something else. Hey, plenty of people on this board dislike me, already. They don't need your sarcasm to help them along. If you want to express your distaste for someone, you should try to do it such a way as to not look stupid.

chas

Holy Moley Chas, I'm sorry if you've taken such offense that was not my intention. Did you not notice the wink it was meant just in fun. My apologies.

I hear Al Gore is working on version 2.0
Eddie

Yeah, I noticed the wink, missed the humor, though. Listen, Don posted this as a fun thing and most of us took it that way. He's probably starting to wish he hadn't, about now. Hey, I'm not on anybody's A-list; S-list, maybe. I was just kidding Cass in response to his obviously fake 'snub' post. Sorry you took that to mean that I considered myself a 20M/gig superstar. Of course, not to many of those pass their spare time on these boards, though. Ah well, like Fran says, I'm probably too sensitive. I gotta start giving more weight to those 'winks'.
