Roger Powell?

I guess with Steve Jobs on vacation, Apple's giving him a vacation.

Don't expect a major upgrade to the Final Cut and Logic Studio between now and then.

Willie, as I understand is composing soundtracks, nowadays.

Who knows if he even plays drums anymore?

There are videos of him talking about the Fantom series on the Roland websites.
