Cool theme for this battle, @monquixote! I must admit that Nile Rodgers is someone whose name is familiar but I knew almost nothing about his vast contributions to music, so going down this rabbit hole has been a lot of fun.

Something recent from Nile Rodgers’ oeuvre:

And this Rhodes sample I found deep within the infinitely nested folders of my HD:

Cool topic @monquixote :beers: and a neat way to learn more about a living legend! Sorry for the late submission amidst some room renovation at the moment. Didn’t know that Rodger’s was involved with “A Fifth of Beethoven,” until today, which was my childhood jams that I had formed my early dance moves to :smirk:
