Great pics looks like you all had a blast...was the Roland BK9 demonstrated also? didn't see any videos or pics?

Looks like someone is ready for a new iPad tablet for their music!

Gary with his Daughter, performing "Over The Rainbow"

Damned, you caught the old man crying.

Thanks,

Gary

Sometimes an old dog doesn't WANT to learn new tricks ... and with all the guys there with their iPads, tablets, whatever, guess who was able to supply Gary's daughter with the song lyrics she wanted??? ...

Gotta hand it to you that's some comeback comment! However, I did and still have Crazy on my iPad, now if Gary had a wireless network and printer I could have printed a copy that his daughter could have kept! Sorry T what do you expect from an IT guy?

I could have called it up on my Android, laptop or even telephone!
Except it's already in my keyboard (lyrics with chord changes) so I wouldn't need to!

LOL ... yeah, but all your IT stuff didn't help did it ??? ... of course someone could have used Gary's PC to get the lyrics and print them out ...

Don ... someday I am going to have to discuss that with you ...
I hope you had a great weekend with your son ... that looked like quite a course on the i'net ...
you were missed, but Joe did a very good job with "All my Ex's..."

Tony...
When Laura asked if I had the Lyrics for Crazy, I said I did, but, unfortunately, she could not see inside my head. When the call went out for help I saw several guys scrambling for their tablets and phones. You were just quicker. Long live Low Tech.
Eddie

Steve, I have two wireless network printers - just didn't have one of them turned on at the time.

Laura called me this morning to tell me how much fun she had and that you guys are the most talented musicians in the world - bar none! I had the words to Crazy on my laptop, but I was out on the deck cooking bratwurst when she sang the song. Her friend, Chris, was the one that videoed the song - not me. Chris just used my camera.

Chris said she could easily fall in love with any one of you, and she's a young kid of just 48 years old. I told her that I was the oldest guy there at 73, but I'm really not sure. I think TonyM might have me by a couple weeks or so.

Cheers,

Gary

April 16, 1941 (the year Pearl Harbor was attacked) (also the year Joltin Joe DiMaggio hit in 56 straight games, got shut out in game 57, and then hit in 16 straight)

Steve....I’m a little confused here. All your photo’s say Stephen Molnar 2014 but you look different in each one. I mean, you look handsome in all of them, but why the different disguises?

Gary,

I'm not surprised to hear you have wireless printing..........good thing Tony had paper!

Mark,
I use a program called Lightroom to post process photos when they need either darkening, lightening or color enhancement. There's a feature in Ligthroom that automatically installs the copyright symbol with my name on export. I didn't turn the auto copyright feature off when I exported the photos from what's called "raw" to "jpg" format. I was too lazy to go back and do another export minus the copy right with my name.

Aghhhhhh! I just read the fine print. So much for my joke!

For those of us that couldn't be there, these photos are a blessing! I know each man by name, but they don't know me! Yet thru these photos and comments I can share the fun you are having! Thanks Steve and Gary for the chance to share in your joy!

Gary,

Is that a tip cup on your laptop stand?????

Jerryghr

No, Jerry, that's actually a TIPSY cup filled with one of Gary's Green Coconut Margaritas ...

As is the case with these SZ jam sessions, once again, I believe I was the youngest one there!

It was nice sharing that time with all of you and picking your 'brains' with regards to your arranger needs etc. Combined with watching all of you play, we're back to the drawing board and as I told most of you, KETRON is now moving forward!!

Thanks,

AJ, you were definitely the youngest person here. And, I was very glad you were able to make it - you are a true gentleman and we all loved your presentation. I only wish I could have seen more of it, but I was a bit busy on the grill at the time.

I sincerely believe the only reason Ketron is still alive in the USA is the tireless efforts of AJ. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery power about the time AJ was singing and I was not able to capture his performances. If I do this again, I think Marathon Key, Florida in the dead of winter would be a great location. Just think about 75 to 80 degrees, outdoors beneath the shade of swaying coconut palms, in a Tiki Hut and a massive audience of 150 to 300 people from the anchorage at Boot Key Harbor. Think about that beautiful turquoise colored water, sugar white sand, and incredible beaches. OH YEAH!

Almost forgot, they also have some nice grills there where I can practice my culinary skills, too.

Gary

I hate summer...


For me every day is closer to winter. ..oh Yea!!...lol

Guess you better stay home and dig snow in New Jersey, then.

Gary

anything is better then sweating

Enjoy,

Gary

Nice pics thanx for sharing!!

Thanks so much for sharing these photos. Great looking group and I'm guessing the host with the most put on some great grub for all you guys and gals.

All my best,

Dave Rice

If they didn't get enough to eat and drink, it wasn't my fault, Dave.

Cheers,

Gary

Guess I must have ate enough the scale tipped a couple of pounds higher after the jam
