hi everyone,
Since I also co - host a group on facebook, I haven't come round to posting much stuff here, sorry :-) But here's some good news for my Canadian friends: Just found a new repairman in Toronto: Keith Robert Murray.  He's specialised in analog (and digital!) synthesizer repairs. check out his site and contact him there.  http://www.keithrobertmurray.com/

Matt Mahaffey on drums and Omnichord

I've seen him play before and he's great! It reminds me how versatile an omnichord can be. I must try this:-) It's the first 2 minutes of a 'Ted Talk' in which Matt explains the role of originality and creativity in living a sane and productive life as a professional musician. Oh yeh...

'My morning Jacket' in the back of a cab!
