The July issue of KEYBOARD MAGAZINE has the first music-related
Commodore Amiga ad I've seen.  It is a 2-page spread, hand-drawn
with a spacey, Dali-like landscape and an A500.  "The Computer that
Works Like the Mind of a Musician", it touts.

"A musician's mind is like a miraculous computer that runs several
programs at the same time.  It weaves a bass line while painting
an improvised melody....  Commodore Amiga personal computers work much
the same way."

There's about 4 more paragraphs of information, almost exclusively
devoted to the Amiga's multitasking nature and how it enhances
compositional speed and creativity.

It's a little hokey, but at least Commodore has a 2-page spread in
a music magazine!  Atari and Apple have 'em too.  And their ads
are just as hokey.
