Watkins "Midi Partner" hits U.S.A.
Robert Pesek - website friend of mine got interested in my Partner when he heard the demo on our web site - that was in the days before we had perfected our drums . . . . . . He gave me a bad time. Trouble was, obviously a very experienced and talented accordionist he seemed to know what he was talking about. So I listened, I learned, and now I'm very proud and pleased to have this acknowledgement from him. It is entirely unsolicited.
"Charlie. The Partner is working great! Every day I can't wait to play my accordion and the Partner enhances the sound so much I don't know how I got along without it before! There are still things I haven't discovered I'm sure. Every day is a new adventure for me. Thank you again - Bob Pesek."
My little Partner's four years old now - It's my 20th. invention and, because I'm a bit of a pie eyed inventor, only four have been successful. This is now the 5th. and I am well rewarded to be getting bouquets from so many U.K. players at this time in my electronic career couched in the same terms as Bob's. Thank you all - Bob in America and all of you in the UK.
