They are very talented, originated in Baltimore if I recall, then began traveling worldwide. They have been headliners on many cruise ships, traveled to the UK, and my only complaint with them is they had a young kid on the soundboard who always cranked up to ear bleed volumes, volumes so high that it drove people out of the super large halls they performed at in the Baltimore area. There were times when they made a rock concert seem tame in comparison.

One thing is certain, though, they spend lots of time rehearsing and keeping their acts fresh.

I wish I'd kept a log of every keyboard, amp, speaker, drum machine, etc. that I bought, when I bought, how much $, when I sold, etc.! I remember that the DrumTrax was a little under $1000. The Yamaha keyboards - wasn't the DX-7 around $1500 back then? I just don't remember it very well. I know I put some "bucks" into all that gear though.

One of my biggest regrets is that I had an Arp Odyssey synth, which I sold dirt-cheap in the 80s - now they are worth several thousand dollars!

I rarely use this acronym, but, "OMG"! I thought at first it might be an April Fools article, but it does not seem to be dated 4/1 ... ?! I wonder if it'll still be mono or duophonic like the original?!

I still wish I'd kept my original (I think it was a "3rd generation" Arp) though ... :-(

Jim, I think it's 'the real deal' plus modern connectivity and all that. Still got my original 1974 Micromoog, btw.
