Hi Marion,

I know that Gargoyle comes across a bit rough at time but his message makes a lot of sense.

Most professionals spend at least 8 hours a day at their jobs. Why should musicians be any different from say draftsmen or programmers?

Take a look around thrift stores for a used keyboard of piano, or even, heaven forbid, even an organ. I picked up a Wurlitzer for $50 that needed cleaning and a little work on three of the keys. Not that I can play it, of course, and it was only a domestic model, but I just couldn't let it sit there at that price and I had great fun finding out how it workled and fixing it up.
