edit: it appears it has moved to macleod trail

Axe moved right onto MacLeod Trail and had a huge grand opening. Didn't realize there were that many crazy musicians in Calgary. They had insane prizes with a big spinning wheel you could spin with a purchase. I stood in line 1 hour to get into the store and another hour just to spin the wheel.
Took home an Italian made Roland keyboard stand even though I had basically landed on "worst prize" which was "pick whatever you want" from a tent in the parking lot. I don't have a keyboard that fits on it though as all I have a Yamaha ez-250i that I got from Craigslist in California.
I kind of miss the old store which was rambling and dark and chaotic in that way. The new one is a bit too studio clean. The keyboard department is better though although still cramped. They had a big sale on all Korgs that day IIRC. If I wasn't a total loser at piano, I almost picked up a Micro Korg but I'm not sure about the new model.
For all you CP pianists out there, any recommendations on any cool pieces I can try out? I am still pretty bad at reading music but just like guitar, if you give me a piece of music that's cool I will just chip away at it with practice and repletion until I get it even if I don't have any real chops at the instrument, they sort of develop along the way by accident and that's how I learn instruments. My problem is I just don't have anything I'm motivated enough to sit down and really feel like playing. I'd love some jazzy pieces for a rhodes piano type deal.
The only cool thing my keyboard can do is this:
