Thnks for your response to my add/website.  Unfortunately, I am the keyboard
player (see bio on website).  This does not bXX mean we might not eventually
get something together.  However, my first priorities are lead guitar and lead
vocalist.  Since I play guitar as well as keyboards, I would like nothing better
than to eventually add a second keyboard player (opens some interesting jam
possibilities), and since we are not worried about the number of people in the
band from the point of splitting our vast earnings, our limit will probably
be determined by my/our organizational capabilities.  So, let me fill in the
vocal , guitar and drum slots, then you and I can explore tehXX the dual
keyboard player options.
 
Just for your info, my favorite setup for playing is my Vox Super Continental
organ as the bottom two manuals, with my Kawai on top.  The Kawai is linked
via MIDI to a Korg AX1 (portable strap on).  The audio outs of the Vox and
the Kawai drive two (rt & left) leslies (147's) which are usually placed
on either side of the stage under the PA spkers.  The Midi out from the Kawai
and AX1 drive a Vintage Keys (EMU) box.  The stereo outs from the EMU then
get mixed into my tri-amped PA system.  Sometimes I substitute my Farfisa
Compact Deluxe for the Vox.  I also have a mild distrotion unit I use to
pre-burn the leslies a little. As an absolute minimum setup,
I use the AX1 with a Kurzweil Micro-piano and just show up at the gig and
plug into the PA; but that setup is not near as much fun.
 
Tell me a little about "SKYDIVE", maybe if you play a party that is not too
private, I could come check you guys out!
