And the lower one is a CZ-1000.  You can see the
membrane buttons on some other shots from the
video.

So he had at least 4 101's, a 1000, and a 1.  Not
to mention I have a picture of him with a VZ-10m
as well.

BTW-hello Cosmo, I finished that one song I sent
just a snippet to you of.

It has bunch of Casio CZ, Roland d-50 and DX...I
was going for the late 80's sound.
