doc-z Member Registered: 08/10/05 Posts: 436 Loc: Norway	Remember I told you about my days on a cruise ship? ( This post ) My brother asked me to sit in with him on a gig he had in our home town on June 1st. And to my big surprise he had brought my old workhorse from our band days: The PSR-SQ16 !! Look at this baby, it's been through hell and back. It's been on the road on tour for nearly 20 years. Attachments

The PSR-SQ16 was a rare bird here in Canada, but I did have one for several months as a demo. A very powerful instrument, especially the style section. Someone must have been playing(?)this one with...er...enthusiasm? If only it could talk...well, on second thought... _________________________ Yamaha Tyros4, Yamaha MS-60S Powered Monitors(2), Yamaha CS-01, Yamaha TQ-5, Yamaha PSR-S775.

Swopped it later for an Korg i3. Your photo sure brings back some memories. Henni _________________________ Make sure you'll fly forever!

doc-z Member Registered: 08/10/05 Posts: 436 Loc: Norway	Yeah I used a case... but the case doesn't protect against all clear and present dangers that a keyboard on the road may encounter. For instance I know at least one of the broken keys got broken from the behind of a very nice girl I was trying to impress. DocZ

doc-z Member Registered: 08/10/05 Posts: 436 Loc: Norway	That reminds me, there is one amendment to my list of lessons learned: 1. Don't "impress" girls who's 10ft Russian boyfriends work in the engine room. DocZ
