Winter NAMM 2003

Had quite a great time at NAMM this year. It was the 20th anniversary of the MIDI Spec, so the MMA (MIDI Manufacturers Association) had a silent auction to bid on several unique collector keyboards, reference libraries, and other items. One of the items MMA offered for auction was the very first issue of Electronic Musician magazine, which I founded as Polyphony magazine back in 1975. So, MMA invited all the editors of EM (myself, Craig Anderton, and Steve Oppenheimer) to sign the cover of the issue in commemoration.

Russ worked with Larry Fast and Isao Tomita

Also had a great talk with Dave Smith about the early years, and all my visits with him at Sequential. Why, oh why, didn't I take a pic? Doh!
