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.

I used these for a couple of decades, then switched to... These. Both are similar to the popular Dunlap Jazz III's mentioned above.
