I'm not so sure Chuck. On Windows Phone (yes I still use one) with the Edge browser I just had a google ad on the top of the screen  

Not seeing any here on Windows 10 desktop

Try setting up on a different song. Once you’re  set up then tackle the real song. 

It helps me to get all the engineers assistant tasks out of the way and leave me to become the recording engineer. I have the arrangement settled before I go into that. 

I have to compartmentalise otherwise I get stuck and obsess over details I’m not really ready to tackle. 

Just time for a quick note. I’m in hospital and they’re coming to take me for an angiogram pre bypass surgery. 

See you all soon. 

hope all goes well MUDGEL

Allow me to introduce you to Tigger the young blade:

And Tiggy Winkles as he is now.

Would you believe he's now twenty, yes 20, years old?

Dearly loved.

 

 

Amazing how we become attached to our kitties. Wow 20 years and still going strong. Mine lived 19 years and now we have ,4 year old and a 3.5 year old cats we got from a shelter 3 years ago.  Love them too.

That explains why I have Cats 🤣

I like that there are videos of how to do thinks for Lenovo Laptops.

I hark back for the days when they made laptops that were easy accessible. I don't care about this thin and lightweight crap. I'll sacrifice a pound for serviceability!

I thought getting paid for sax was illegal, no? 

(I'll get me coat...😀) 

Them and the Guitar players get all the action. Us stuck behind the keyboards get no love   And trying a Keytar doesn't work!

Bagpipes have their place, but they are just too easy to make jokes about. The thing that gets me is the drone pipe is intentionally out of tune and as a sax player who has to adjust the intonation of every note with my lip, I my ears want me to correct it.

But if it was in tune the bagpipes wouldn't sound right.

Bayou Bill, that sounds like heaven to me, but not nearly as good as playing sax in an all-girl cabaret in New Orleans.

When I was 18 I was underage but still playing in a band that did night clubs, We got a gig playing in a strip club. Mostly 12 bar blues in 12/8 time as this was right before strippers started disrobing to rock music.

It's a good thing they had us sitting down so my hormonal appreciation didn't show.

The star of the show was a girl who's name I forget, but the byline was "with her million dollar wardrobe". None of which (except for pasties and g-string) stayed on throughout the show.

The dancers were quite nice to us, but the strict rule was no dating anyone who works there and absolutely no leaving with one of the customers. As an 18 year old kid, I couldn't help but dream about doing more than playing sax for them.

It was a good gig and lasted one season.

Oh, and we actually got paid for that!!!

My next laptop will be a Thinkpad Brand!

Thanks for the information  Mark

Ha!   How did you know my eyesight was that bad. Have you been spying on me😲

I ended up getting a Casio Privia PX5s and use it both ways as a MIDI controller and keyboard with sounds. Hammer action and only 25lbs. Does the job for me now. I want to add a small MIDI keyboard controller myself but haven't went looking seriously yet. I also have an old Alesis QS61 keyboard that has synth keys that I use for organ sounds.  My problem with the Studiologic is several keys stopped working and the sensors were not available. Plus I actually like the Privia PX5s keyboard better.  I personally go the route with get a good 88 Hammer action piano that has MIDI out and get another small keyboard with all the controllers buttons that you might need and use them together

2) Played a grand opening party on the parking lot of an office building right next door to an AM radio station in Stuart Florida. The people heard the radio in their wired phones and everything else. I sensed trouble right from the start.

We set up the PA and of course had the radio station coming out our speakers. In a rare bit of insight and luck I saw a water pipe bib and spigot next to the building, I scraped paint off a bit of the pipe and it was copper (it was an old building). So not knowing if it would work, but grasping at straws, I hooked my vehicle's jumper cables to the scraped pipe and the other end clamped to my road rack rail. Problem solved, and the gig was saved.

Cool Story.

First home was covered in Aluminum siding and the roof insulation had the old stuff with the metal reflective backing. It was like a huge antenna. Needless to say Murphy's Law set into motion with three radio transmitters within miles of house. When I plugged in Amps I got AM radio all the time. Glad we only lived there for 3 years.
