Hello, I'm not sure of what I am doing. I am new here so please bare with me.
My name is Mark and I am 67 years old and live in St. Louis mo.
I have played professionally since 1970. I just retired from the Hideaway Lounge here in St. Louis after 31 years working 4 nights a week doing piano bar work.
The Hideaway is a piano bar lounge since 1954, the oldest piano bar in St. Louis.
In 2004 we retired the old Yamaha acoustic piano and replaced it with the Yamaha P90 digital piano.
Later on, we added the Yamaha Tyros 3, then the 4, and later the 5.
The P90 on the bottom and the Tyros on the top.
Also, I used the Alesis SR18 drum machine and the Roland PK5 bass pedals.
At the present time in my home studio I have the following keyboards. Yamaha P90, P125 dgx660 Psrs975, Tyros5  and the Genos.
If you wish to listen to some of my music, vissit my webpage.
http://www.markdew.com
I am looking forward in meeting you all and learning about you and your music.
I am not sure actually, how to navigate this site so bare with me.
Just so you would know, I am a blind user and I use a special speech software on my computer inorder to interact with it.
At any rate, I am glad to be here and I know it will be a great experience.
Mark or stlpianoman.

Hello Mark! Welcome to this wonderful forum! You make wonderful music. I am also visually impaired, and use magnifying software to be able to read the screen. I have Tyros 5, S975, and I just bought the Genos!! I was very sceptical to Genos because of the touch screen, but it goes much better than I anticipated.

Hi Mark and welcome to this wonderful forum

You have my ultimate respect as regarding your impaired vision,I can hardly imagine how difficult it must  be to operate a keyboard and play good music with those disadvantages,although on this forum there seems to be quite a number of people suffering impaired sight,even myself I am beginning to lose some clarity of sight due to cataracts.
You have some lovely equipment to use and any help or advice  you need will be available here.

Best wishes

Alan

To start a brand new post, you must first navigate to the specific forum you want to post in. The easiest way to do that is to start at the forum's Home page, which has a list of different categories and the forums in each category.

For example, you have a Genos, so let's suppose you want to start a new topic about the Genos. From the Home page, you would go down to the Genos category, which has 10 boards in it. You would then select the specific board you want to post in-- say, the Genos Recording & Song Player board.

Once you are in the board where you want to add a new post, there will be a button at the top of the list of topics which says New Topic. Click on that button and you will be able to start a new topic.

I hope that is enough information to get you started. And I hope you enjoy your time here with us!
