Q: how do you secure a heavy fragile irregularly-shaped 2-component synth in a roomy flight case meant for non-abnormal keyboards?

A: with ~5 late-night sessions of rearranging velcro pads & partitions; + enlisting the help of strategically placed socks & underwear. ๐Ÿงฆ๐Ÿ’ช

Excited to say I've joined the band Damage (@damage-band.bsky.social ), a live-synths live-drums hardcore punk act formed in the early โ€™80s.

Theyโ€™ve reformed, enlisted me, are releasing a new LP, & we're gearing up for live gigs. 1st one's May 10 @ Will's Pub in Orlando. More to come.

in seriousness, don't want to say too much yet. Early days. Synths are involved. Guess I'd better learn how to play one.
