...able to say to Aboriginal young people, Here's a career path, you could be running this branch one day." On a recent morning, Ivy Washington is in front of a computer terminal at the Moree AES. The 54-year-old grandmother, recently widowed, tentatively taps away at the keyboard. Washington is near the end of a 12-week course to update basic skills. She's gained her driver's license, completed a first-aid course and would like a stint of work experience...
...More: www.yamano-music.com Traveling musicians, rejoice! With keys just an eighth of an inch thick, the 2-lb., 61-key Hand Roll Piano rolls up like a blanket and spreads out to about 3 ft. in length.

But it's no lightweight. The Hand Roll comes with a set of 128 tones (from acoustic piano to bird tweet), 100 rhythms, 20 prerecorded demo songs and a speaker jack...

Ninja, the fizzbomb cheerleader/singer, shook jangling bells, while Chi Taylor-Fukami...

Although of the band’s two lead singers, Krug has the more musically interesting voice, his songs lack visual presence. He merely stood and played the keyboard off on the side of the stage, making it hard for his performance to generate any intense energy. Partly because rock keyboardists are hands down the most boring live musicians ever. Concertgoers coming to a Wolf Parade show expecting the Arcade Fire will inevitably be disappointed. Boeckner and company...
...wondering why the keyboard, it's for Verizon's Mobile IM program. Users of AIM, MSN or Yahoo! Messenger can log in and chat with buddies. Your IMs are in the form of text messages, though, so you had better check your plan before Mobile IM-in', or you might be in for a nasty monthly statement. At least Verizon offers a warning as you're loading up the program...
