Didn't you have a computer?? I had that same keyboard (Still do in fact - and will never give it up. Well, I mean, I'll die someday and it will be sold for 100 bucks at an estate sale...) and all my stuff was backed up through the MIDI interface on my little Commodore 64. We played one original that used MIDI for parts and a drum machine and that one sequence was saved in the ESQ. Still an outstanding keyboard. As long as you stayed current with the OS it was and is a great sounding board.

I know you have a sister who is an outstanding singer (as well as being gorgeous). How many siblings were there and were you all musical? Were your parents musical, thus providing influence for you?
