Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Creighton,

Isn't it weird to think that your daughter probably regards the era 
as ancient history? I'm always taken aback by "kids" who don't have 
a sense of the Beatles or other musicians of the time. Fortunately, 
in my dotage, I've reached a place where music is eternal; it 
doesn't matter where or when it emerged, as long as I like it. It 
removes the pressure of trying to stay hip and current, but it does 
tend to swell the collection.
