Default Rosebud Rhiannon Keyboard

Like all of us, I have seen this footage a million times. But I was looking at it closely today, & I've concluded that Christine -- in what is a possibly a first & a last -- is playing a Roland EP-10, an electromechanical piano from the mid 1970s.

If that is what this is, I don't know why she is using this & not her Hohner. I don't have time now, but can one of you check out the keyboard in some of the other Rosebud indoor/soundstage footage (You Make Loving Fun, GYOW, Say You Love Me) & let us know what you spot?

Very, very weird . . . .

It COULD be that she was testing it for Roland, though that wouldn't make sense, as she, to my knowledge, has never really used Roland.

The time frame doesn't jibe. This particular model was first sold in 1973. The Rosebud Rhiannon was shot at some point in the spring of 1976.

This is one of the greatest mysteries in my mind. "Why is Christine using what appears to be the Roland EP-10 for this promotional film?" I think I'll ask John, since Chris doesn't answer her questions.

You think too much. I say you should drink more!
Great drink, less think.

Homer, you gotta admit, it's WEIRD.

What if somebody went over to your house & opened your refrigerator & found a six-pack of some beer brand you NEVER buy or drink?

It's WEIRD, man.

Besides, I tried taking a sip of port a few days ago (with dinner), & I had an allergic reaction or something. I started seeing spots & floaters.

It IS weird(not in an organic, cyclical way ), that she chose not to answer the questions, but, I guess that's her right. I just hope all is well, with her and her family(that that's not why she didn't answer).

You should definitely send me the remainder!
