Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Pier, my band was a synth pop band who had a go with original songs. We took second to a band called Bad Radio at a battle of the bands at San Diego State University. Their lead singer was Eddie Vedder! We did play some covers though - Madonna, The Cars, The Fixx, Berlin, Billie Idol, Human League.
I feel like my son and I are getting in this forum with his new kit at an excellent time. It reminds me of 1999 when I bought my Korg Triton Pro-X keyboard and joined a great forum. I can sense that this place is going to take off big.
