Thread subject: STATII.COM: For all things Status-Graphite :: Keyboard Dep required June 6th

Posted by Misterpink on 07-05-2009 20:21

Hi Guys Need your help with the following Due to our Keys player and MD of the band having to undergo an unexpected operation on the 5th which means he couldn't do this gig, I need a dep for him. The gig is in Horsham in Sussex and is a wedding. You will need to be a competent player, do not have to be a reader as most of the set is fairly standard covers which I'm sure you would be familiar with. The gig will pay £250 for the night. You need your own transport and Keyboards.... obviously. PA and monitoring is supplied. We would need to meet with you prior to the gig and any pre-recorded material you have or CV would be appreciated. I'll go into more info for the right people. Please contact - Jay 'Nathan' Cresswell (me) 07973750072 - Nathan@5catfish.com Andy 'Fatboy' Lewis (MD) 07518943301 - Andy@5catfish.com Cheers Jay

Paistey is a condition, not a symbol!

I remember MOGE too! From someone involved in the company when I was at school.. The kid who shoved a copy of Level 42 album in my ears had one!

Usually found in very white, sun-shirking Brits.

It was Bob Moog - the guy who invented it: he said he hated it being mis-pronounced Mooog. Not to me personally: it was on TV, can't remember which show - one of those 100 best things. Here is the Wikipedia ref though: "Dr. Robert Arthur Moog pronounced moUg/ to rhyme with "rogue" So I can assure you the correct pronunciation IS Moge. Oh and the cymbals are pronounced Pie-stee. Wikipedia ref for that: "Paiste is an Estonian/Finnish word which means "shine". The company's website indicates that "the correct pronunciation for 'Paiste' is 'Pie-stee', or as Mario Calire of Ozomatli says, 'It rhymes with feisty'!".

The late Jeff Porcaro,one of Paiste's longest running endorsee's certainly didn't pronounce it PIE-STEE in his tuitional videos!! It was simply Paiste!!
