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:

A couple real good songs for you to learn that I love are "the crystal ship", and "yes, the river knows" both by the doors. Not too too hard on piano, and some good classic rock songs. I'm sure there are plenty more awesome doors songs to learn on the keyboards as well.
