Have keyboard-will fly

[Toril S]

Hello friends.
Last autumn I went on a band camp. I purchased a Casio CTS-400 keyboard in the hopes that I could take it with me in the cabin of the plane. But nope! It was 5 CM too long! Now I am going on band camp again, and I have downsized further. This time I got hold of a Yamaha PSS-f30. It fits in my backpack! And the backpack is going on the plane. BASTA! The styles are fantastic, and there is a whole lot of them. Only 37 keys, no touch response, you cannot use it as a MIDI controller. But it is a Yamaha, and it fits in my backpack.

I really look forward to airport security scrutinizing this brightly colored kid's keyboard and then looking at this 63 years old (read young) lady, and wondereing what this is all about Another keyboard in my "collection." And you don't have fun if you don't make it yourself!

Have fun Toril.

When I read this I was reminded of a story about the legendary Scottish entertainer, Chic Murray. He was standing in a long check-in line at Glasgow airport some years ago, when he turned to his wife and said  "I wish I had brought my piano with me". His astonished wife replied, "don't be stupid, how could you possibly bring a piano on a plane".
"I  know" said Chic "but I wish I had brought it".
" What a stupid idea" said his wife, "we are going on vacation, why would we need a piano!".
"Well" said Chic, " it would have been really handy....... because I left the tickets and passports on top of it! "

The bandcamp was so fun, it was all that I dreamed of and then some! But the instructors had all the instruments we wanted, the first day I played keyboard, a Roland of some sort, not new, but it worked. The rest of the week I played accordion. We were divided into 2 bands, and we had a concert at the end. So my little friend the PSS-f30 stayed mostly in my suitcase. I use it when I have a melody in my head that I want to try out, but am to lazy to fire up the Genos
