EXACTLY!!!  Presumably, that's why the Fender Rhodes is still so popular!
Just check out the group "Incognito," whose doing a refreshing
"London-ised" version of the mid-70's funk/fusion/Rhodes thing.  

BTW--maybe if some of these bored suburban kids would take up music
composition and looping, they might not be inclined to acquire those stupid
assault weapons and concealed handguns.  Doesn't an introductory-level
multitrack cassette recorder, inexpensive guitar or keyboard, and cheap mic
cost less than those silly weapons?

ˇHasta la revolución!

Michael.
