Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | The proper name is "Parr-taayy"...and sounds like Davis has picked right up from last year...I remember O'Kanes just like that...rats! lol...have a good one...
Stephen: the one good thing is I ordered the rest of my DAW today: Logic Studio Pro/Apogee Duet/Audio Technica ATHM50 Headphones...iMac 24 and the rest of what I put together last year (with your help) are waiting...finally...
I'll have to save my Guy song for the OFC CD...
I'd tell everyone to "break a leg" but since Iffy's there I won't...its too close to home... |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Mike, sounds like a really nice system. After a little over 3 years I finally finished mine up last month by putting in a nice patch bay and XLR mic extender rack. It just reduced the stress level of changing the i/o configurations by a factor of 150%! Man, I can't believe I waited so long to take the final plunge.
Mike, I will be looking forward to you sending me some rough mixes along with polished products! |

Alan, I blame the misspelling on the Grand Marnier and the pretty girls that kept setting them down in front of me!
Thanks for keeping a tight rein on me. I always hate to see unintentional grammatical or spelling errors.
I have a feeling that if you keep tabs on this thread over the next week if will slowing start to degenerate. Woo hoo! GREAT reasons! Keep the typoes (and the pretty girls) coming!!! |

It's been just over a year for me and besides a few odd jobs things aren't looking any brighter. To all that can make it, have a great time and say Hey to Matt for me. Tip a couple of beers, rums and a scotch or three and think of those who are absent but will be there next year!
Blues I've been laid off more than eight times (If I show up as a colleague in your company...RUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!)
I TRULY feel your pain!
Each time was its own unique excruciating experience. |

Sadly I just sold the matching mando. They were quite a pair. Dave, I would have liked to have it but one at a time is all I could handle...if it went where I think it did, it will be coveted...lol
Now go out and hit the little white ball for me, ok? |

Location: South of most, North of few | Just got back home from my "one nighter" at Amelia, and brought home many truths that I never really knew.
1. ProfBB is really a funny guy.
2. Despite sometimes acting like the North end of a Southbound mule, Al IS a VERY nice guy in person.
3. Al can really play guitar!
4. Just about anyone there can play a lot better than I can.
5. Dave (Toby) actually has a serious side. (Great song Dave!!)
6. Cliff is funnier in person than he is on the board. (and a great guy too!)
7. Serge really knows his way around the JAX airport. With a combined effort, we managed to find and abscond AJ and his luggage.
...and #8....DON'T SLICE YOUR LEFT INDEX FINGER WITH A RAZOR KNIFE THE DAY BEFORE YOU GO TO AMELIA. It really makes it a challenge to play anything.
Thanks to all for putting up with me as I really didn't contribute too much, but just the one night made the 12 hours on the road worthwhile. Really a great bunch of guys! |
