Not sure if I want to post I really don't need to.

Of course not...you are another amongst those us who are secure within ourselves.

Ian the Contented

What can I say, Donny. I'm a man of many talents (none of them musical ).

PS: I was being sarcastic. Zuki has been promising to post something "soon", for his last 150 posts .

The only reason I would post is to showcase the versatility of the 800 for folks who might be interested in purchasing one. You cannot find a live US/western style demo anywhere in the world. I'm not seeking a synth forum grade.

I'd love to do it on YouTube to really lay out an examination of the instrument. Ian, it is a truly outstanding board. I know you'd find the 800 interesting

Nevertheless, you can expect to get one .

What does this all have to do with the Beach Boys?

Everything.............and nothing. On the other hand, from a purely speculative point of view, and with the usual considerations in mind, we COULD imply from the basic premise, that, my view not withstanding, that there could be a tenuous connection between the Beach Boys and ..........what were we talking about again?

C'mon Donny, why on earth would you expect this group to stay on point. In the meantime, how about you posting YOUR version of say, Giant Steps. Don't know it? No problem. Bitches Brew or 'round midnight would be good.

chas

Almost forgot. Please let us know which Arranger styles you used.

Chas....obviously I cant know every song ever created but in the past I have posted many tunes....so when you or even Zuki or others catch up & at least post a few if yu wish I'll consider learning some of the songs you've mention eg:

thats only fair & I know nothing about playing Jazz but always willing to learn by example as long as its in the key of "C".

Donny, I was only pulling your chain. I wouldn't expect you to attempt a tune so completely out of your genre' (any more than I would take the time to learn a Beach Boys tune). However, thanks for putting up that link to one of the true legends of jazz piano. While there, I spotted another performance of Giant Steps by another of my favorites, Gonzalo Rubalcabo, who, along with trumpeter Reynaldo Melian, demonstrate what being a master musician is all about (and why few of us will ever reach that level, even with a lifetime of training).

Thanks for the offer though. BTW, I doubt if putting it in the key of 'C' would help much .
