Hello fellow musicians I have the good old C T K 6200 reasons why I joined this forum is because I am an amateur freelance musician and composer right from a younger age I started to learn the piano at a tender age of 5 y/o and from thereon my music progressed and my late Mother always encouraged me to practice and practice and moving on back in the early 60`s I had this special gift for music and my first keyboard my late Mother bought me was an old Thomas 61 note portable keyboard and then I got my self a Casio C T 7000 keyboard which had in those days a bar code system anyway moving on I was in the army for six years and I was popular as I could play the N A F F I piano N A F F I was a soldiers bar sort of thing and I just sat down and played with no music all from memory all the old pup songs and got my beer for free and so on and so forth moving on a number of years I was married to my 1st ex-Wife and I caused many an issue buying expensive instruments to name a few etc. anyway I am now married to my lovely Russian Wife as I am 73 y/o and I can play from memory ant type of music which I can think of and sit down using all the C T K 6200 keyboard`s tools and keep them too which I feel sounds nice stored on C T K 6200 `s memory etc.
Lastly, I can play all from memory traditional what I call other peoples music e.g Beatles songs a few I can remember and a few traditional Russian folk songs all from memory much to the amazement of my Russian Wife and play them how I feel what they should played e.g remember back in the 60`s a Welsh folk singer called Mary Hopkin she was discovered by Paul McCartney her song was called " THOSE WERE THE DAYS " if anyway on this forum remembers this song was from an old Russian folk song in English it meant " THREE HORSES " and I now play this from memory in a romantic ballad or how I think it should sound my Russian Wife loves this version of mine as it has a lot of feeling plus a few more traditional folk songs etc. etc. at present I have play this C T K 6200 for a long while and now I feel it should be played and produce more musical compositions .
Anyway, there you have it in a nutshell a fellow 73 y/o Casio player and I love my music and treat it as therapy very calming and I thank you all for your precious time reading this short story as too how what I do with my spare time music is the food love as the great Bard used to say.
All my best wishes to you all on this Casio forum and I leave all up to you your reactions please look after yourselves ans " HAPPY MUSIC " to you all .
