 Home:
My name is Johannes "John" Vishnoff and I was born
in 1945 in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, not to far from a "bridge
too far." I am now living in Ibague, Colombia and have been
retired for over two years. I am married with Rocio and we have
three grown up children, all like father, with no musical affinity.
I am a medical doctor, an anesthesiologist, and have been living
in Colombia now for over 40 years. I retired from the Colombian
Social Security but am still active with my private practice, and
yes, with more time to spend at the keyboard.
Musical Background: My musical background is Null, the only
thing I can remember is my mother singing in the kitchen while cooking
for the family (and she still does). At the age of 15, for my birthday,
I was given an acoustic guitar and started learning the basic chords
and singing old German, Dutch and country songs along with my grandparents,
family and friends. One year later we moved to Colombia and here
there was no place for those songs. So I learned then the Boleros
and Rancheras (Mariachis) and played with friends at home, specially
during parties and after a few drinks!
.
 Before
I retired, my wife gave me a PSR-2000 keyboard, (which I changed
at the black-market for a 2100 and, now, the 3000), so I wouldn't
get bored spending so much time at home and she was right! As with
the guitar, I began learning the chords and listening to the different
styles and started singing along while playing the left hand (chords)
only. I soon realized that with the guitar I played to the tempo
of my voice (song), but here you had to sing to the tempo of the
keyboard. Learning to read music and playing the right hand became
priority number one! Then, for me, a miracle happened, I found Joe
Waters' PSR Tutorial page, and started learning more about music,
chords, combination of voices, multi-pads, counting the tempos,
the keyboard itself, etc and listening to all those magnificent
performers. So thank you Joe and PSR Performers, you have all been
teachers (maestros) to me. Special thanks to Del and Ton who encouraged
me to keep going on, for the advices and their patience.
I am a beginner (rookie), having fun while learning and playing
for myself, comments and advices are always welcome. My dad used
to say "one is never too old to learn!"
P.S. For those who love Golf and Amateur Radio, my handicap is
18 and my call HK6HFY.
