Do I play the keyboard? Heck, no. Have I ever played it? Heck, no, unless we count hitting keys while my sister practiced on the piano that I was Never Allowed Near and running away.
Is it stopping me?
Well...kind of.
The first three songs there (Pringles, Cap'n and The Foreign Cat) are all recorded today, whilst grappling to make sense of the keys in front of me.

I love this thing. It's so thithery and fun.

I am so happy. I've wanted to play a real instrument forever. I may even invest in lessons, because if nothing else, this machine is demonstrating that I really do have a startling lack of knowledge about basic music theory and my ear is awful.
Just...awful.

Yes! Yes the piano is very enjoyable when played, though you struck me as a guitar type fella.

I've played guitar for eight years. This is worrying that I come across as that 'type'. I find guitar players very irritating.

Hey screw you. I play keyboards in a band, but all we can use is my crappy old keyboard, because none of us can afford another.

I have one of those. Infact the same model.
Too bad I lose at playing the keyboard, but, practice makes perfect.

Keyboards are AWESOME. What brand is that, Yamaha?

Completely based on your face; I don't know you very well at all.

Nice. Reminds me of the one I had. I still have it somewhere. Eventhough I never got the hang of playing it, it was still fun.

It really is more fun than it should be. I found a string-voice that led to animating X-Files episodes in my head for half an hour.

Golly, I hope it was the spirit of Fox Mulder possessing it.
