Fireworks

I guess I thought I wasn't posting as often as I could, but the fireworks season befalls me. I will be on pretty much 7 days a week for 3 months and trying to learn the band songs. A challenge. Tired too.

Hair of the Dog

Well it was a great Nazareth album, but I wonder what the origins have to do with having a drink to cure a hangover? Did someone roll over and mistakenly begin to lick a dog instead of grabbing a bottle of aspirin. well, I am going to give it try, the beer for a hangover, not the dog licking. Lot's of weird stuff on Rachels site. People stealing names, from, ironically one of the ones I regularely follow,Jack. She seems like a great girl and has paid some dues so the idiot that posted with her name is just that-an idiot. Would it even matter if they would have just posted as I am the idiot? If you are going to start a blog and set it up, why not come up with something original. So if you read this, whomever you might be, think about it. Your crabbing about original music and yet you steal a name, maybe that says something, or not. well since I am posting that Rachel Fuller should do a cover of Jennifer Juniper I figure I've lost it. watched the VH1 special of warren Zevons last album(and days) yesterday, very moving. I remember buying his 1st album and listening to Werewolves of London endlessly,and playing Lawyers in a band. A very strong person to document their own demise. Have a lovely Sunday.

Teenagers

I have 'em. I guess there's no real cure for 'em until they become non-teenagers. And then -----and then--they become us. Adults.What is an adult? The lucky ones to me are the ones that made it. I mean they learned whatever life lessons needed to be taught and came away a stronger more enriched person. I often still wonder where I am? I am, by age, an adult- actually becoming a middle aged one at that. But I don't believe I would turn it back to the ridiculous trials that you must endure to get here. Working and growing up with a lot of the same people can keep you timeless. Sure, we mature and God willing have gained some grace and insight into life but I often still feel like a much younger person. Yeh, I'm going bald. And that matters how? Am I going to join the hairclub for men(I'm even the president) so I can be someone I'm not. Too many guys I see in there 20's either shave there head or are loosing it anyway. Relax guys, give it 5 or 10 years and it comes naturally. I have 2 daughters that are still teens and they have paid some heavy dues and I love them very much and I hope they grow to be the best they can. Same to my 21 year old. But this is about teens. So many opportunities await. I wish them all well. Have a great night.

9 Days

9 days since I wrote anything, Well 10 now. I guess I've not been up to my usual blogging standards. Work is getting into it's hectic season and working on music is becoming my drive right now. Got a call Fri night from the Roxxon guys saying it wasn't going to work out, but I already was getting that feeling. Ironically enough earlier that day one of the guys I had contacted a year ago gave me a call to see what I was doing. Well,not much. So I checked that out on Sunday and I think this will get me back where I want to be musically.
The roughest part anymore is Jenny's daughtter. That is the all consuming problem in the household. She has now totally quit going to school and is once again hanging with mostly people who are dragging her down. It's a very disheartening thing to watch someone slip away, especially at 15. I went through a very similar experience with my daughters, but at least I knew they would soon get help and are now doing pretty well. I hope and pray the same for Jenny's daughter. I'm just going to try and help them the best I can without it overtaking my lie. That might sound selfish but you must keep your distance sometimes to do the greatest good. Til next time. Me

Crash

So I finally found out how a computer crashes. It crashes. No compromises- No I might work a little- It's done. I bought some software to enhance my home recording and my computer barfed it up. Nothing like installing something to enhance your work and find out you need to have your hard drive totally cleaned up. I, not being that computer literate wish they would give you a little more heads up on conflicting programs and the results that can happen.
Oh well, live and learn and try not to make the same mistake, even though it seems hard not to if you don't have the proper instruction. Next time I will ask a few more questions before hand.
Missed the new first show of the second season of In The Attic. Got an interesting email/invitation to participate in the Method/Lifehouse project.I find this to be one of the most fascinating projects anyone has tried in a long time.
Just spent some time with the program that crashed my computer, I reloaded it and it seems to work fine. I often forget the huge amount of recording information available once you get into the computer based part of audio recording. Unbelievable. I think I'll be able to do some cool stuff with this. Well since my computer is back up, I'll be back in the loop for a while.
