As a girl who grew up in the 70s and 80s playing keys, and never got to play with the cool electronic toys (man, that stuff was expensive), this makes me ridiculously happy in a giddy nostalgic feminist historically-informed-performance sort of way

Oh this was great... Thanks for sharing. ;-)

Sweet.

As a girl who grew up in the 70s and 80s playing keys, and never got to play with the cool electronic toys (man, that stuff was expensive)

And now my $400 keyboard can at least pretty closely simulate most of the sounds I've heard on this video (and 400 more sounds; I haven't heard half of them; and it isn't even a real synthesizer), and I have it because I cannot afford the real acoustic thing. Hurray for progress.

I like the candy-apple red keytar.

I'm pretty sure at this point -- ironically now that theoretically I could afford such toys -- that that's fallen off the bottom of my priority queue (see most recent post!) so not this life time for me. I'm OK with that; life's just too full of even awesomer things, so what are you gonna do?

I love this video so much. My brother got me a Korg synthesiser simulator for my Nintendo DS - I didn't even know it existed until I opened the wrappign paper and got to play with it! :D
