Tony before I ask the question the frown was my fat fingers clicking on the wrong icon too fast

Did you buy the Tyros 1 or Tyros2? I had an hour this afternoon to spare, took a pair of head phones and went to GC to demo the t2, to my surprise the T2 as well as the T1 that was at GC on Bald Hill both were sold!!! Were you one of the buyers?

Tony, What are your favorite types of Music?
John C.

Tony good thing you didn't buy both, I'd be on your doorstep wanting to try the boards
According the the keyboard dept manager. The customer took the floor model of the T2 just until they could order him a new T2. The demo T2 will go back on display. They are going to give me a call when it's back in the store. That's not saying that I'm going to buy one. Just want to see what it's capable of. There are plenty of new boards that are on or coming to market. When the time comes for me to take the leap, I wanna be sure I'm getting what satisfies my needs. Although I gotta tell ya what may make the most sense at this point is keeping the 3000 and adding another brand of board. Maybe the Pa800?? Caruso Music in New London should have one shortly and I may take a drive to try it.

Merry Christmas

John ... putting it simply, ALL TYPES ... well, I guess not ALL ... but MANY ...
Let's start with what I don't listen to - most of today's 'pop' stuff - 'bubble gum, rap, hip-hop, alternative' ... you get the idea ... even though some of it is very clever, or has a good message, it's just not what I want to listen to ...

As to what I DO listen to - wow, where to start? ... No doubt my favorite is the type of jazz played mostly by the great artists (many LATE, great artists)- Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond, Oscar Peterson, Brubeck, all that group - people who took the great American standards and made them their own, or wrote their own ...
Being 65 yrs old, I was raised on rock n roll, and still enjoy listening and playing it ...
While I was taking accordion lessons, I played and listened to a good amount of 'classical' music ...

Being Italian, I remember my grandfather playing his accordion, especially during the holiday season, and the whole family sitting around singing ... Italian music has been a great part of my life - even today I listen to a 2 hour program on Sunday mornings that features ONLY Italian artists and music ...
Of course, the great vocalists, Sinatra, Bennet, Ella, ... I LOVE Louis Prima ...

I enjoy some 'rock' artists such as Sting, U2, Eric Clapton, etc ... and several of the newer artists like Michael Buble, Diana Krall, etc.
I even enjoy some of the C/W artists - Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Martina McBride ...

So I would say that my taste is pretty eclectic, but "mature" ...
On any given day, in my 5 disc player could be Brubeck, Bobby Darin, Elvis, Rossini, and Bocelli !!! ...


As for playing, the chops are no longer there for classical, the training and technique was never there for real jazz (although I do play 'jazz' tunes), so for playing and singing, it's the American standards, 'middle of the road' pop, light jazz, some Italian songs, and old time r 'n' r ...
... and you?!? ...

Steve... If you wouldn't mind. I would like to take that ride with you ...

I'll keep ya posted.
