I don't plug in. If you don't plug in, you don't have to worry about pulling out. And that is where the wear and tear happens.

Well it's almost a word. Spray the jack down. Get your jack free of corrosion.

My worst input story? It was dark, I had no signal, onstage, I dripped sweat off my nose right into the jack. Then I was afraid of electrocution. I used the other bands keyboard.

Roland sucks.

Seriously, what musician doesn’t know the difference between “cord” and “chord?” Is Trent a drummer or something?

I was hoping someone would catch that. Good reading.

I had a spelling mistake. It should read "cord". Not as in "Chord" : three or more musical tones sounded simultaneously.

When I wrote it, I was actually thinking about a guitar chord, a seventh. But shit, screw me. There is no excuse for this kind of spelling mistake. I'm am truly and unendingly sorry.
