I only had two 8-track tapes. Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Heart's Dreamboat Annie. Right in the middle of, arguably, the most popular Heart song, Crazy On You, the song fades out, you hear it click to the next track, and then the song fades back in! Are you kidding me??!

So you're saying this is inaccurate Kenny? ?

Now that's a cool story! A friend of mine (who also looks and sounds like Tommy) is currently playing AS Tommy for Dennis DeYoung's band (August Zadra - one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet). If HE ever meets Paul, then Paul will be really confused! LOL!

When I wanted to get back into music and my arm still wasn't able to play guitar (nasty break in '84 - muscle and nerve damage), I was looking into MIDI gear and decided to try this new software that had just come out called Cakewalk v1.0! I already had a couple fast (for the time) computers and just needed that overly expensive Turtle Beach sound card because it came with General MIDI (and no Major Problems ?). So, a few tests, including helping Greg Hendershot debug I became a loyal customer upgrading at every chance until SONAR Pro-Audio 4.

Well, I count three with you (including me and Keni).

I ignored all the sound cards prior to Cakewalk v1 since those weren't for making music (and were mostly SoundBlasters). This was sound card #2. And this was #3. #4 is still TBD!

Your answer awaits.

Wait... Is this something even NEWER than your new album???

And, for Bapu, even after noon it's still in the Am! ?

Some very expensive Turtle Beach card that this new software called Cakewalk (v1) required. ?

Billy and Steve ought to be doing one together. I remember watching them trade tapping riffs on their prospective instruments.

Does that include the bad internet joke site you check on to see what Steve will post next too? ?

Hard to believe he's been dead almost ten years!

String Theory!

Works with Chrome too.

Bayou Bill, the friendly ghost? ?

Steve, apparently! ?

*Pfft!* And you didn't lose almost 42,000 posts on the move here! ? (Not that post count matters of course! ?)

And... Bapu chooses to pad his post count. Typical. ?

Which ones use Silly String? ? (For the record, I used GHS Boomers and Elixers which were nicer on bass since they tended to shred - in a bad way - on guitar.)

I've never had any problems with it. When I first started playing (mid-70's) the picks tended to all be very smooth and I used to have a lot of problems with them flying out of my fingers. The cool part about the Dava's is that you basically get two picks in one. They flex a bit in the middle so if you hold them on the wide area (the "normal" place you'd hold a pick) then they work well for strumming but, if you hold them closer to the tip, then you get a much more rigid pick which is good when you really want to chunk on the strings or dig in. Although I suck at finger-picking (to be fair to myself, I never really tried to pick it up or learn how), there are training videos of Jon Bonamassa (for example) using a small, stiff pick in conjunction with his fingers that is very versatile. Maybe someday I'll get around to learning and practicing that!

It was red. It was clever. Expect a flood of applause! ?

*In answer to Kenny's video girl...* Why yes, yes you will! ?

I made a New Year's resolution back in the year 2000 that I'm still keeping to this day. I resolved to stop making any more New Year's resolutions.
