    YPKO Podcast #6 – MusicPad Pro Interview with Bernard Perry

    In June 2007, I interviewed Bernard Perry where he announces the new way of storing your sheet music digitally, which makes it far simpler locating your favourite pieces you like to perform. This may be used for any instrument, but as I also run a Yamaha keyboard and digital piano enthusiast website with nearly 7500 members, we concentrated on this aspect. I have released this podcast here just to demonstrate my other interests as much as anything else. It is a very different style to most of my gaming podcasts, however I love variety! The podcast also explains my Yamaha website. This edition features: Yamaha PSR-S500 Keyboard Demonstration MusicPad Pro Interview – Part 1 YPKO Voicemail Callers MusicPad Pro Interview – Part 2 Yamaha PSR-E403 Keyboard Demonstration You can also purchase and download sheet music from their new website. You can also read my review on my Yamaha Personal Keyboard Owner website. Read the full post: YPKO Podcast #6 – MusicPad Pro Interview with Bernard Perry, created by James Woodcock.

    [BONUS] Podcast – Jackie Marsden Yamaha Club

    In episode #4 of my blogcast I mention: Interview with Jackie Marsden, article writer for the Yamaha Club Magazine Yamaha Personal Keyboard Owner – Information about my own independent Yamaha keyboard enthusiast website The highlight of Episode #4 is my interview with article writer from the Yamaha Club Magazine, Jackie Marsden, who is married to Steve Marsden who kindly helps out at my discussion forum over at Yamaha Personal Keyboard Owner. She has teaching experience and has achieved numorous letters after her name in her own education. It has been a fascinating experience to play Burnout 3 on Xbox (1) and then play the very latest version ‘Burnout Revenge’ on the Xbox 360. Both are very special titles, however with the new high definition graphics it really is nice to see the difference. Burnout Revenge has got to be my favourite online title for the Xbox 360 so far. This episode was delayed due to my faulty internet connection, I have been unable to record any interviews over Skype. Everything is OK now though, so expect many more episodes in the next few weeks as I catch up. Enjoy this latest installment.
