[musictlk] Two Questions concerning Keyboards

[Marion Gwizdala]

Kevin,
    Thanks for this information. I was told today that one of the church's 
benefactors has offered to buy us a new keyboard. I am also very interested 
in re-learning my piano skills and doing some recording, so I will keep this 
in mind for myself, as well!

Marion
