More music gear

Recent acquisitions include a GeneralMusic Equinox, big brother of the S2/3 and just as capable of some great sounds and performance effects; an Elka MK-55 MIDI controller, mainly for the polyphonic aftertouch feature; and a Roland RA-50 arranger. None of them strictly essential, but all good fun. 

 

RIP Adam West, Holger Czukay

Two more of my heroes gone, one musical, one thespian - I met Holger Czukay when Can released Rite Time, but I wish I had seen the band play live. I wasn't really aware of them when they were at their peak. 

I was always aware of Adam West, though - best Batman ever.

RIP Keith Emerson

... and in such sad circumstances too. So few of the greats left now.

 

Car!

To my own slight surprise I bought a car, a Ford Puma. Nice styling, good performance, great for the money, I think. It's no MG BGT, but then it should start in the mornings, and the heater works. 

Look at my enormous organ!

Elka X30, £80 from eBay. I'm looking forward to sticking a phaser on it.

R.I.P. Patrick Macnee... always the gentleman

Christopher Lee, RIP

Another great loss, but another artist whose work will make him immortal, though hopefully not in a fangy, bitey sort of a way.
