Herky Jerky

I just scored this great Yamaha PSR-420 today for $60 including stand, dust cover, power supply, and sustain pedal. That ditchparty guy that scored the PSR-420 for $20 and cut a video the same day made me mad because I said "no way did that guy get that keyboard today and then plays all that great flawless music on the same day." So I was forced to cut my own video on the day of purchase. I am rusty and I didn't have time to practice, so I kept having to step down the ambition. First slow the tempo down, then simplify the improvised solos, then accept some wrong notes. But hey...I got the video done. Of course that other guy's is waaaaaay better.

@healinggreen: Thank you for your support! These inexpensive yet awesome synths should be floating around all over creation, but they're worth very little used so it's difficult to find them on the used market because people either just junk them or just put them in the attic for 20 years. I find that antique shops and thrift stores do not stock them because they say they don't sell. I see a lot in Pawn shops but i find the prices in pawn shops to be very high.

Casio has recently stepped up their quality and their boards at the $150 price point are really nice. Big and beautiful with 73 keys even and MIDI capabilities that, on paper at least, outscore the Yamaha boards (a change from previous years where Yamahas were waay nicer than Casio). These boards are so much fun, you must own one at all times. You can afford $150....GO FOR IT!
