Last week as I was cleaning all of my stuff out of the Genki House and sold all my music gear, I also sold my big Yamaha sampler. To be honest it was pretty rubbish ( an A4000, way too slow and way to pricey at 120,000 yen!!), but it now means I’m without a sampler – one of the most important pieces of music gear. But this is 2004, so now you can get them in software form! And wow, flippin ‘eck, this is amazing!! To be honest I’ve never been into samplers much, I usually just play synths, but having an easy to use, very powerful sampler at my finger tips is pretty cool to say the least. So hopefully next week when I get back down to doing music work, things should be a whole lot more funky!

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
