Instruments: E-Piano
• An electric piano (e-piano) is an electric musical instrument whose popularity was at its
greatest during the 1960s and 1970s. Many models were designed to replace a
(heavy) piano on stage, while others were originally conceived for use in school or
college piano labs for the simultaneous tuition of several students using headphones.
Unlike a synthesizer, the electric piano is not an electronic instrument, but electro-
mechanical. Electric pianos produce sounds mechanically and the sounds are turned
into electronic signals by pickups.
• The earliest electric pianos were invented in the late 1920s; the 1929 Neo-Bechstein
electric grand piano was among the first. Probably the earliest stringless model was
Lloyd Loar's Vivi-Tone Clavier.
Instruments: D-Piano

All Or Nothing was repackaged, remixed and retitled Girl You Know It's True for its U.S. release, and spun four hit
singles: the title track, and the group's three #1 hits, "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You," "Baby Don't Forget My Number" and
"Blame It On The Rain." Milli Vanilli won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist on February 22, 1990 for Girl You Know
It's True (1990 in music). July 1989, during a live performance recorded by MTV at the Lake Compounce theme park in
Connecticut, the recording of the song "Girl You Know It's True" jammed and began to skip, repeating the line "Girl, you
know it's-" over and over. This was not unusual, as many popular artists used the same technique. The fame of this
event may have been amplified by the fact that the word "true" was poetically omitted by the whim of the playback
device. This was a prime example of the kind of happenstances that could make Milli Vanilli poster boys for the entire
range of misrepresentation in the music industry. As a result of American media pressure, Milli Vanilli's Grammy was
withdrawn on November 19, 1990

NAPSTER
Napster is an online music service which was originally a file
sharing service created by Shawn Fanning. Napster was the first
widely-used peer-to-peer (or P2P) music sharing service, and it
made a major impact on how people used the Internet. Its
technology allowed music fans to easily share MP3 format song
files with each other, thus leading to the music industry's
accusations of massive copyright violations. Although the original
service was shut down by court order, it paved the way for
decentralized P2P file-sharing programs such as Kazaa, Limewire,
and BearShare, which are now used for many the same reasons
and can download music, pictures, and other things. The popularity
and repercussions of the first Napster have made it a legendary
icon in the computer and entertainment fields.
