I've never seen nor heard of her before. <drool> (But, I live in a
cave where the only music allowed is almost anything that's not in 4/4.:)

I saw this and thought for sure it was a M400. Right down to the single
audio cable coming out the lower middle part of the back. But now that
you mention it, it did seem kind of wide. Maybe it was just a
wide-angle lens. ;-)

I even thought i heard some tronny strings during the harmonica.
