Headhunters...I dig it! Great job Mark! I love the sounds of your keys!

Thanks Mad John, appreciate the comments! All of those keys are gone now, except the Rhodes. Starting over with a Kurzweil K2600XS.

Thanks. I needed a rack to hold some 88 key boards, and be strong enough to hold an 88 Rhodes, so I built it using pipe and something called key clamps. The combination is rated at over 1000 pounds.

...and more importantly, nice rack setup.  Looks DIY, and very functional.

Very good!

I can't play bass riff and theme\improvisation simultaneously...((

Do you had a special practice for this or it's your usual independence between hands?

[mark1rhodes]

Thanks! I've been playing for 45 years, and spent alot of time playing alone so I did left hand bass most of the time. A great song to practice hand independence is the theme from the Charlie Brown cartoons, by Vince Guaraldi and called "Linus and Lucy".

"Linus and Lucy"... I'll try! Thanks!

I began to play jazz 6 years back. So I have a time for practice.
