Well, if THAT starts a war, I'm with you , chas ...

Chas, I agree, and that's why I have an Android 5 that does a great job and it was free with the signup with the carrier.

Just purchased a Diggro Smart Watch for Carol for Christmas - she will probably hate me for doing this, but what the Hell, nothing will have changed! It's really cool and works on the Android 5 system, so it is very user friendly.

Merry Christmas,

Gary

What's puzzled me since the first time I saw this fellow is......why does he make it so obvious.....his hand....worn the same in every video of his.......white bandage that looks like it was put on by a Cub Scout. No disrespect meant at all. I really AM puzzled by this. I searched the Net with his name to find out what happened to him but could find nothing about his personal life. Interesting situation that makes you stop and think about taking things for granted, in this case your hands.

Years ago, I was in a piano store and the salesman was playing one of the pianos. Sounded good and then I noticed the same thing......he had only two fingers on his left hand and only 2-3 on his right, but man, he could probably do a gig even with that limitation. And no one would even notice. And a really nice guy too.

But I never forgot that in this sense. In both these situations, that's really got to be tough mentally and emotionally. They both appear to love music but are both limited in what they can do on a keyboard. Life is often not fair. is it?

Aha, a stinkin' liberal I-phone user .

Mark, that's not a bandage - it's an amputee sock, used to cover the stump under normal circumstances. In this instance, I believe he used it to cover the hook so the hook device would not damage the keyboard while playing.

OK, thanks for that info Gary. That leaves me just wondering why make it look so obvious? Why not use a dark color. He plays music well enough, but I think it detracts from his performance. People might be noticing that before they notice his music. I'd really like to find out his background but I can't find a single thing about him on Google.

Well, it's one of those things I'll let slide by. I'm still trying to find time to read about Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Andrea Bocelli and how blindness affects them. When I watch Bocelli particularly, I can't help but think what an injustice it is that he can't SEE the joy he brings into people's lives.

Just listen to the quality of the lead brass...wow...we have come a long way.
