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:

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.

This podcast was actually recorded in July of last year, but originally I was trying to present an edited version with some of the actual music tracks used in the background as we spoke. After many attempts to get this authorised by SEGA, it just wasn’t possible for legal reasons, so here is the podcast without the music.

If I had to place any brand that really introduced me to the world of just beautiful gaming experiences, it has to be SEGA. Covering SEGA Master System, SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis), SEGA 32X, SEGA Mega CD, SEGA Game Gear, SEGA Saturn and of course SEGA Dreamcast.

Joining me are two newcomers to my podcasts. First of all John Boyle who at the time was from Cubed3.com who confessed he has a massive crush on SEGA consoles and games and also taking part is Jam from girl gaming group Frag Dolls UK.

Featured in this episode is:
