Why remain?

Why remain?

2011-08-11 by mellotronmadness


If someone posted something it would stop me doing things like this:


Ample evidence here that I don't know how to use a mellotron, can't sing and can't play the ukulele but on the other hand I can count to eight.

Cheers

Mark

Thanks Frank,

Mellotronmadness takes many forms, I don't think any mellotron owner is immune, personally I think it's caused by the mouse droppings. 

I have finally made peace with #1565 and have started to use it quite a lot. I think I was expecting something different from the instrument and once I accepted what it is and what it can and can't do I have been a lot happier with it.

Neither of my dogs have ever urinated or defecated anywhere in my home...  
ever. I've had one three years and the other 4 1/2 years.

And I'm sure you've trained them well, Frank. This one ain't my dog and it was never trained and doesn't get taken out often enough to avoid accidents. It was my wife's dog, but she refused to take it with her when she left and my boys are very close to it, so I didn't have the heart to get rid of their dog too - it was bad enough they were losing their mother. The next time I move, it's not coming with me.

So train the dog. You have time. Start with leashing the dog up and walking 
 it. Dogs learn to learn. It's fun and easy. Both of our dogs are rescued. 
For  one, we are her 5th home. The four before us were idiots. She's 
amazing. 
 
Remember train them with love, a soft voice and a gentle hand. Reward but  
never punish. Get down and whisper in their ears in a soft low voice. 
Scratch  their necks and throats. There is nothing more rewarding for you both.

Yamaha CP-80 piano anvil flight cases

2011-08-14 by Michael Reina

Hey everyone,
I have a set of very well made anvil flight cases for a Yamaha CP-80 electric piano. It's been about a year since I opened them, and I believe the keyboard section foam was okay, but I'm not sure. The harp section would definitely need to be refoamed. I'd like to get $500 for the set as they are very rare and very heavy duty. Both cases are on heavy duty casters. The outside of the cases look great. I don't have a piano for sale, so this sale is for the cases only.
Please pass this along to anyone that might be interested.
Thanks.

Mike,
 
Offer them to Tom Brislin. He just acquired a CP-80, I believe.
