He Am da bass.

Top is on! And not leaking, yet. I had to finish in a hurry since there were severe thunderstorms approaching. The rain started just minutes after I came inside. It's a '92 I've owned for 14 years. Over 241,000 miles, 188,000 of them mine..

On another note (Am), I don't know how you folks who use laptops do it. I went to the beach the first week of May and bought a cheap HP laptop for communicating with the outside world. While there, I downloaded CbB to try out. It recorded fine through the camera mike with the Wasapi driver, everything in sync. This week, I pulled out my back-up HD and backed up to it, then loaded those projects into the new computer. Everything is so small! And if I was to begin using it regularly, I would definitely need to plug in a mouse. Those track pads suck!

Spent the day attempting to put a new top on my Miata. Hot, mosquitoes, poorly-written instructions, dodging rain storms. But, it's 83% complete. Back at it in the morning.

You have a wife and a guitar? Man, how do you do that?

Back in 2000, I got a little inheritance and bought a TASCAM Portastudio and a Yamaha PSR-GX 65 keyboard with the goal of writing and recording songs. When I moved back to NC from TX in 2002, I was living with my brother the programmer and mentioned how I was limited by the number of tracks I could use (4) with the TASCAM and wanted to get a digital mutitracker and which one I should buy. He suggested getting a program for my computer instead. So, I went to Circuit City and checked out what they had. Music Creator 2003 was what I bought, because it had a cute girl on the cover of the box 😊. That was MC 2 with a MIDI-to-MPU-401 cable. The rest is history.

Sound Blaster Extigy.

Steve's the exception that proves the rule.

No one in the band smoked tobacco at that time. 😉

My old guitar player used to wipe his strings with a cloth he had sprayed with WD-40. He claimed it made them last longer without getting dull. I don't know; I couldn't stand its odor.

Is this on a computer with a 64-bit OS?

Harpy Barfday!

What's wrong with that? XX says it's wrong.

Since 1967. All 3 of my older brothers played and each one taught the next one how to play. It started with my oldest brother Carl getting a Trutone electric for Christmas in, oh, '65 I think. Bought at Western Auto. I started when my next-older brother Mike started teaching me bass lines he could play along to. By then we had the Trutone and a Framus.

Didn't we do this last year?

Something we sang when I was kid (to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner, sorta): Oh say can you see Any red bugs on me? If you do, pick a few, And we'll all have red bug stew.

If the take you don't want is that bad, ctrl z and start over. You won't hear it then.

Better than unter.

Krilliant!

Dave's not here.

Tim, I don't know Mark F. Got a link? Leadfoot, I was born in '57, like the '57 Chevy. One of us is a classic, the other is just an antique. Thanks for listening!

Today marks 5 years since my brother Mike died, just 2 weeks shy of his 58th birthday. Being just 11 months difference in age, we grew up playing music together and he taught me a lot about playing guitar and music in general. I thought I would post his one and only original, recorded song again as a small tribute and memorial. Going Home Crazy

I love a good sentimental ballad. 😁 It's cool that you got AC/DC to record it for you, too. It rocks!

I've been at Atlantic Beach, NC all week. Preparing to return to the grind. Back to work tomorrow!

It's all about the bass.
