Hi Bill and Bob,
I was just chucking a couple of prawns on the barbie last night when I received a frantic call from my local jazz club.
The Albion Jazz Band, currently touring the UK, was booked for the evening and due to a misunderstanding (cockup) there was no piano. Could they borrow my keyboard?
Unplugged my Technics, luckily it has its own speakers and needs no
amplifier, stuck it in the car and delivered it to a grateful Bob Pelland who was chewing his nails while the audience got restless.
The band consisted of Tony Pringle, Gerry Green, Jim Klippert, Bob Pelland, Mike Cox, Mike Fay, Mike McCombe.
I understand that Bob Pelland ran the Grand Union Dominion Jazz Band and is well known to both of you through the Sacremento Festival. I promised to pass on Bobs good wishes to you both. This is it.
To anyone interested, the Technics 6000 performed well, after we had discovered how to set up the keyboard for piano voice only, although it could have done with a little more volume. A seven piece band and a largish hall pushed it a bit.
Anyway the band gave me one of their CD`s for lending them the keyboard so I was well pleased.
Cheers
Pat
