I I am going to the Synthzone Forum Jam in Florida in April
Bebop, GREAT news!
It's gonna be FUN to catch you (my good buddy who lives just down the highway), clear across the'other side' of the Country.
I myself made my East Coast FLA Jam reservation deposit (quite a while back), and really looking forward to meeting as many fellow Synthzone members there. This is yet another RARE opportunity to finally meet one another in person, play our music for each other, as well as together (jam). Even though I don't check the SZ Technics Forum as often as I'd like, I've known some of you on the forums for quite a few years, Bob Hendershot & Jim Eshleman foremost come to mind
, of which have included some lively telephone chats, so it's going to be a special treat to finally meet in person, as well as make new arranger keyboard enthusiast friends.
As I no longer own a Technics keyboard (I curently play a Yamaha Tyros), I hope that I'm welcome to attend and participate as well. A GREAT big thanks to Dan Hanson for providing me the use of his Tyros keyboard at the Jam. All I need to remember to pack now is my floppy disk of regs and custom styles & MFD song database file, Technics 4 pedal unit, fakebook, and mic.
My schedule during April 2005 is tight, and because I want to checkout Orlando & DisneyWorld as well, probably will only be able to attend one (or possibly two) days of the event.
I haven't made my airline reservations yet though because my prefered discount airline (SouthWest Airlines) won't book reservations for April 2005 for another month yet. I hope to catch their $99 Oakland-Orlando discount fare. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm really getting excited about this event, and hope even MORE people here will be able to make what promisess to be a fun filled memorable arranger keyboard enthusiast's weekend. A BIG thank you to Heather Cox, Dan Hanson, and Fran for all your work in organzing this event.
I invite everyone (if interested) to visit my website and listen to my music:
