Title: PSR Tutorial - 2021
Post by: Joe W on January 22, 2021, 07:56:59 PM
Every year I give some thought to whether to keep things running for another year since I get another year older and COVID made a mess of 2020.  However, I have recently paid our internet service provider for another year on our dedicated server.  I have also just renewed my licenses for Dreamweaver (used to support the web) and Filemaker (used to manage my databases).  So, PSR Tutorial should be able to hang around for another year.  I will take care of the web and resource collections and a host of moderators will help take care of the forum.

I am looking forward to see what 2021 will bring.  Is it time for a Genos replacement?

Thanks Joe for all you do.

The best way for any of us to assist you is to purchase your latest offering, Styles # 15. I have done just that, gladly.

That way, we get the website for another year AND all those fabulous styles, We can't lose

All the best and stay safe,

Regards

Ron

Thanks for your work here, Joe, and for the work of moderators and contributors.

Thanks to all who make this forum possible.
I have enjoyed it since I got my first Tyros 1.
I don’t know how anyone could possibly get full satisfaction from their keyboard without this forum.
Not only our the members knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge, they are very nice, and I have made a few friends over the years in here.
Please consider donating to keep this forum going. I don’t think anyone realizes the costs involved, let alone the time involved by Joe and the other admins.
It would be a shame to let this forum go.
Thanks again to Joe and the others for all the work they put in to this forum.

Well done!

Rick D.

Dear Joe,

after about 20 years of Korg system, I moved to a Clavinova, and lately I added a fantastic Genos.
In the beginning (Clavinova) it was very hard to turn my mind into Yamaha arrangers system, and I got almost lost, as I could not find enough answers to my doubts by reading the usuer and reference manuals.

All changed when I "discovered" PSR-Tutorial, where I gradually found ALL the answersI was looking for, thanks both to the lessons and to the posts on the Forum.

I can really say that my fun with Clavinova and Genos is fully due to what you created.

I'm therefore more than convinced of the extremely positive work you have created and managed so effectively.

Of course, I hope that you will find a reliable way to let Psr-Tutorial continue.

Ciao e grazie!

Angelo, Roma

“Thank you, Joe” almost sounds inadequate as a response for the support and friendships that the forum has brought to this amateur, but Thank you Joe, and bless you for it.

Apropos of nothing at all, 2021 has only two factors - excepting 1 and itself.

Mister joe, since I started being part of this forum there hasn't been a day in which I could not appreciate the professionalism, generosity, collaboration and love with which you and the members (especially those who participate constantly to the life of the forum). I feel like I belong to a big family. I have been retired since January 1st and will be able to dedicate a lot of time to collection # 15 which I will purchase soon. Thank you for the time and passion you have dedicated to the birth and survival of PSR Tutorial.

Joe W,

If finances become an issue I suggest you consider a membership fee.  I would think that $1.00 USD per year per member should cover all the expenses.

Just a suggestion.

Perhaps if everyone would donate whatever amount possible, as this site is a blessing during these tough times.
Every little bit helps.

I agree with Rick D.

In a private response to a forum member who sent me a PM regarding my post above.

I will publicly post part of that response here:

... "Joe Waters understands what I mean.  He's not interested in making money just finding ways to cover the actual costs. Another option is to promote more donations, but Joe W wants to give something in return so he makes up those USB sticks with all the files on them that we can buy to help support the website and Forum"...

Yes, Joe, thank-you for all you’ve done and do. When I got my PSR-S970, unboxed it and put it together, I just stared at it and thought “Now what?” Without PSR Tutorial I would have been lost and I wouldn’t have gotten the joy that my instrument gives.
Bless you, Joe, for all you do and all that you are.

Hi Joe,  I'm getting on a bit now,  rather set in my ways so don't use the forum much BUT I would like to think of all the younger people and the beginners and the learners getting as much support and information as I did from your wonderful forum.  The work you have done is invaluable and I cannot thank you enough for your efforts.  I hope you can continue for a long time.   Val

 To: Joe W & all the Mods that keep this Forum going I can't thank you enough for this
priceless Forum, it means so much to me & I'm sure to everyone here.
I visit here several times a day, just to see whats new & find out what else I can learn.

I think I would be lost without this Forum.
I have just purchased the 2017 lessons & the Styles #15
I Love this place.  ;D

Thank You
Denny

PS: Also a BIG thank you to all the members for helping everyone in need. Thank You

Joe,
I am a new Genos owner and this site has been invaluable. I immediately bought some items to help out. As you know there is no other site that comes close to providing the information and value that this site does.

Also thanks to the moderators and the members that are helping us newbies out.

Thanks Again!

Joe,

Many thanks for your dedication and hard work. This site thru the years has been invaluable to me. It's hard to believe I found your site back in 2005, it doesn't seem possible 16 years have passed.  I've written this in the past and I'll write it again.  I learned more here in 3 months than I could have learned on my own in 2 or 3 years.   The icing on the cake is I have made friends here too that have become lifelong friends.
