By the end of next year, I will have been programming for 50 years... Wow...

Good point!

That's what you get for posting in the wrong forum! The primary people who worked with Cakewalk from the beginning and kept the original forums going for years are exactly the ones that aren't really wanted around here any more.

Ahh... That's right. I forgot...

There's an "upstairs?" Why?

And, one from the Mystery (these are just the first two examples that came to mind): The world is a game Do you know what we think of your attitude? Open your eyes Do you feel all the fear that shadowed their eyes? And all that remains of their lives And so the world is a game And I'm just a pawn in your hand You hold the world in your hand Like a child with a Ball Do you realize? You point a finger then you say One word and we fall But who's the winner after all And so the world is a game The Joy and the pain of our time Remember these pawns all have names The rules are the same in their lives In the end All you need is our gratitude We shut our eyes And so the world is a game Working on the grand design For some it almost feels Divine Sipping the last drop of their wine For this world is just a game Standing in the line of fire The heroes' flags flying high Waving way above their pride Can anyone win that game? The world is a game And so the world is a game The Joys and the pains of our time When you reap the loss and the gain Then all that remains is our lives ...is our lives And so the world is a game The Joys and the pains of our time When you reap the loss and the gain Then all that remains is our time ...is our time The world is a game

Here's an idea of what I meant by lyrics from Kansas or the Mystery. This is Kansas' "The Wall" [Verse 1] I'm woven in a fantasy I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now Has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost [Pre-Chorus] It rises now before me A dark and silent barrier between [Chorus] All I am And all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty Towering Marking off the boundaries my spirit Would erase [Verse 2] To pass beyond is what I seek I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through To glimpse the other side The promised land is waiting Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride [Pre Chorus] The moment is a masterpiece The weight of indecision's in the air [Chorus] Standing there The symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty Towering Blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see [Bridge - Instrumental] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Gold and diamonds cast a spell It's not for me, I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting On the other side There's more than I can measure In the treasures of the love that I can find [Pre Chorus] And though it's always been with me I must tear down the wall and let it be [Chorus] All I am And all that I was ever meant to be In harmony Shining true And smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss

Oh no! There's absolutely no need to take this offline! This is the Coffee House and we need the rare intellectual thread! I'm guessing you joined after BandLab took over, that's about when I quit going to the old forum, but I went down the metaphysics path a few times in my 41,000+ threads in the original forum. I may be a (VERY) long time IT guy, but my PhD work was in the close-to-woo-woo field of Hypnotherapy. I've done Prana yoga, am a third-degree Reiki Master Healer, am certified in Accelerated Learning and have an array of FDA-illegal experimental medical devices (along with some they allow consumers to own, like light & sound machines). I certainly have no issue with metaphysics. Of course, I'm also a musician nerd with my own sense of humor so there is that to deal with! LOL.

Wow, I come here expecting an apology from Bill for something and I see this??! ? ?

We're more likely to remember those timely words from the good folder name. ?

Someone (not me - no time!) needs to dissect these posts and make a Prog Rock song out of them (ala Kansas or the Mystery). ?

Ed's losing his touch. No girls in this year's picture!

I feel sorry for anyone who buys one hoping to sound like David...

Paulo is not a fan of the Spice Girls Ed. Please try again.

Don't know who BassDaddy is (that I know of), but Mesh is usually posting over at Beyond My DAW though I seem to recall seeing that he's very busy right now and Bapu wants him recording stuff as well (a little NagBap goes a long way!).

Wow, someone didn't do their homework! ?

(I love image reuse! ?)

I'd Leaf it alone if it was up to me.

I thought it was only two for Tuesday...

If this was the old Cakewalk, you'd want 13 - a Baker's dozen!

More at 11.

It's "In the Hair Tonight?"

Who stole Steve's hair??? ?

As if you haven't already heard it before! Spanking the Monkey A collab between myself, a guy in England and a singer in Belgium. The guy in England (Jon) loved to come up with names and force me to write lyrics to them...
