Out of interest, what kind of music do/did you write Craig? I don't think I've heard anything by you, or have I?

In addition to voice-over work, I did two completely different types:  Rock and trance.  I lost most of my finished work (and all my trance) when I put them on a new type of media for safekeeping (a Panasonic CD/PD - supposed to be secure for 40 years) prior to reformatting and reinstalling.  Ever heard of a PD?  Exactly...  Years of work gone.
 
Since that happened I mostly played for fun and/or with friends.  I've got some songs that were collaborations with a guy in the UK and a singer in Belgium (we called ourselves Mushroom Farm after the first song we did).  The format was this:  The guy in the UK picked the name of the song then I had to write lyrics to go with it (NOT easy with the choices he came up with - lol!).  One of us created the initial format and/or a riff (he did all the lead work).  It went from there until we were ready to get Bouke (our singer) involved or other help.  I really had to work on Bouke's English since the only style he knew was Country with all the usual twang and warblings.

And, the wonderfully immature, Spanking the Monkey: mushroom-farm-spankingthemonkey-REMASTERED.mp3
 
Finally, here's a work in progress, where I'm playing all the instruments.  Apologies in advance for the drums, I had only been playing them for two weeks and it shows!  http://www.nwdreamer.com/download/Berry-Jam.mp3
 

Oops, sorry for the thread derailment!

Don't you smack your knees into the MKbd under the table? My Arturia Keylab 88 isn't outrageously fat or so ... but it's high enough to get in the way of thighs/knees I think.

Don't think I explained it well enough. Will post a photo when I get home. Basically I have a wall of shelves behind my desk. The lowest shelf is about 6 inches ABOVE the desk. I have my screens and monitors on it. This leaves my desk free, and the MIDI keyboard sits at the back of the desk, under the shelf, when it's not being used. So basically it's directly underneath my monitors. I just slide it towards me when I need it.

Here is what mine looks like
 

 

 

 

I have a 49 key controller on a keyboard trey, which I tuck under the desk when not in use. I do have a big 88 key, with tons of knobs and sliders, but it ended up in the storage closet. I prefer the convenience of the 49.
 
I tend to keep things very tidy - I don't work well in clutter.
 

 
In fact, I keep on removing gear and storing it away, as you can see in this pic taken last week or so...
 

 
The desk is a simple office desk found on Amazon. Work great for my purpose.
 
 

Here's my dreary little home office/music production corner. As you can see I have some strong track shelving and I have the screens and monitors on the bottom shelf so that my MIDI keyboard can be stashed underneath. The shelves were from Home Depot, I used those ultra-strong wall fasteners (and lots of them) so weight isn't a problem. The desk is just perfect, I got it from Ikea. 
 
Of course a shelf next to a wall ain't the ideal place for monitors but hey, this is an untreated room anyway and I clear most of the room crap up with ARC2 which does a fantastic job under the circumstances.

Hey, that's bigger than most apartments I've been to in NY. :P
 
I take it that you've finally removed that sticker from your Tele's pickguard, then... (I seem to recall you mentioning something about that. Or maybe I'm confused...)

Ha I guess I did! I must have been bored because normally I don't give two hoots about such things.....
