i haven’t skateboarded in many, many years, but this rings true to the things i’ve seen about skateboarders in general. they get a bad rap, but they are usually super happy people are showing an interest in the sport, and if you give them a chance they will be happy to interact with you and help. it makes me happy to see this. <3

I used to hang out in skate parks. This doesn’t surprise me too much (and I’m totally not crying anyway).
I also used to teach high school freshmen. They were awesome.

“Instruments available in 1969” is everything in a traditional orchestra, everything in world music ensembles, even most electric (but not electronic) instruments. It only rules out most synths and most solid state amplification.

Based on context, of course, he was referring specifically to synthesizers, but I agree it’s poorly worded.

The Stylophone came out in '68, so it’s good to go.

I don’t think Toto’s Africa was played on either one of them, though.
