Bazookaphone?  Do tell!

I understand about the not wanting to belong to a band again. 
Technology is wonderful -- I've done the one-man-band thing since 1989, 
when it became practical to do so.  Armed with a multitimbral 
synthesizer with (bad) drum samples (the Kawai K1) and a Fostex 4-track 
recorder, I set to work.  Every few years I upgrade.  Now everything is 
computerized.  I'm amazed at how well it all works.

That is a tall order for collecting!  I had a boyhood friend whose 
father restored and collected pinball machines.  A good pinball machine 
is still as good as any video game.  If you need a good home for any of 
your surplus Moog synths, let me know first! :-)  Moog is not 
represented in my all-American studio yet.  (Well, Big Briar but kinda 
different.)
