Hi folks!
Thanks for all the kind words, on and off-list. A couple of answers and thoughts - Nacho, if you mean the link I provided, that site isn't mine, so I have no control over it. My band is available at www.sleepytruckers.bravepages.com which I believe is more friendly to non-Windows browsers. Clay, I really appreciate your comments about the ELP solo - that is a musical "money shot" and I feel very strongly that if you can't deliver on something that is so iconic, you should just leave it alone, so I go to great lengths to make bits like that as authentic as possible - even when I have to use pitch-bend to fake portamento! Once again, all done with ONE Korg X5D, no sequencing, no recording playback, no tricks, just my two hands and lots of hours of experimenting. I have a copy of "The Rain Song" recorded that night that I'll be posting soon - the performance has a couple of shaky spots, but it certainly helps demonstrate my little Mellotron emulation to it's best advantage.
