I guess we roadies were to stoned to know what were dragging around six weeks on, two weeks off, year in year out.

Solinas in good shape are highly sought after. Prices, however, are not always ridiculous.

Thanks - it definitely is - so the really stupid question: How hard are these to come across these days? Are samples the route to take, or a low end synth with a rough and ready chorus pedal?

Here's a clip of Bowie on the Tonight show in 1980 - can someone tell me what the top keyboard is? It has the shitty paneling look of a chamberlin (which Bowie had), but doesn't look big enough to be an M1. It sounds cool to me, but is probably some kind of synth or low rent organ. I have no idea if it is, but it sort of looks like Carlos Alomar playing it.
