It’s Monday, and time for another Live Stream from the Disaster Room.

Let’s start a controversy! I’ll go first and tell you what I think the best analog polysynth money can buy is.

I’ll also tell you what you should buy if you can’t afford it. I’ll offer a few other select opinions, too, ’cause I’m just in that sort of mood right now. Also, a look into my crystal ball … that comes with a warning.

Definitely an interesting stream!
