Hola, peoples! Hope everyone is hangin’ in there despite the several crises going on. Things are movin’ along quite nicely here. I know I keep saying this, but the album is very close to completion. It’s pretty much down to writing the last half of my last guitar lead and then doing some minor level tweaks. Strangely, the songs are sounding different on a cd in the car than on the computer. But thanks to the advancement of Roxio’s Toast 8, I can throw a quick equalizer on the songs instead of having to go back and tweak the actual song files in Cubase and re-exporting them. That may be Greek to alot of you, but trust me, it’s wicked awesome! Continue »
Well, well, well, hello there. Hope everything is froody with you guys and gals. Things are churning along quite nicely here. Been busy with this and that and a coupl’a those. Currently reading a book that just will not end no matter how much I groan. It’s a good book and all (or rather 6 in 1), but 800 pages is a bit of a haul, especially for British humor. Oh, the book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by the way, and I’m ever so close to finishing it, but I think I’ve lost too much enthusiasm for it to be anything more than a simple accomplishment. I mean, I’ve already forgotten what the first segment was about. It’s still entertaining to a degree, but it has certainly lost every bit of jazz it had during the 1st 400 pages. Continue »
Hey all. Sorry for the long delay, but I’ve been preoccupied with recording my album. It seems I’ve been putting just as many hours into it as I do work, so I guess it’s like having 2 jobs; which is ok as long as progress is being made, right? And oh how progress is being made! I’ve been learning a thing or two with the software and also with my writing, so I’m very excited with the modified direction everything is going. Certain songs have been revisited numerous times and some have been completely restructured, all for the sake of creating a solid cohesive album. Some songs are even taking on a shape that I’d never imagined when I wrote them about 10 years ago. Continue »
’cause I’m in the movie-makin’ business now! That’s right, I’ve finally completed my arduous task of compiling the many, many photos we shot at Yellowstone back in ‘06 into a small slideshow. This project began last year, but I walked away from it midway through. After a butt-load of editing I now have a nice li’l movie to share with you. Exporting it to the web proved damned difficult, but i think i finally got it. It’s a bit smaller than I would like, but that’s how it’s gotta be. Currently, it’s for Quicktime only, so if you’re running XP, make sure you have the latest free player. If you still can’t see it, let me know.
I’ve added a video page to my galleries for future reference, but you can jump ahead with this here shortcut. Continue »
