Album Name

Well, I have 15 songs..the majority of the guitar and bass tracks done, now is drum tracking for the album. I do have a name..."Ring Bell for Service" I have to give credit to my incredible wife A. She came up with the name the other night when we were talking about album names. So, hopefully within the next few months all the tracks/overdubs and mastering will be done and the album will be up on iTunes. Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

Simple Gretsch Guitar maintenance stuff

The two guitar companies that I play and really love are Fender and Gretsch. Both have an incredible history for quality instruments that in my opinion defined popular music in a distinctive way by not only their sound but by their style. I have a Grestch 5120 Electromatic Hollowbody guitar that A got me for our 6th Anniversary. This guitar is an amazing instrument. I never had a hollowbody before so at first I was not sure about the set ups and maintenance so I was a little concerned. Well, as with all FMIC companies Gretsch has a fantastic web page with loads of information on it. So here it is for anyone who would like some top knotch help on how to maintain and set up your guitar!

Computers, Software and upgrades

I will be the first to admit that I really love modern technology, be it online banking to recording on my laptop. I am amazed at what can be done in this digital age. I will also be the first to admit that computers and software updates or hardware transfers/upgrades etc baffle me. I spent the majority of today transfering files to an external hard drive and the remainder installing Windows 7 and MS office 2010. It took all and I mean all day....kind of made me realize how impatient we all have become with the technology. What would be several file cabinets full of paper is now a few files on the old hard drive....imagine how long it would take to copy that stuff...LOL So, I guess I will be more patient and really TRY to learn the mysteries of computers one of these days! Have a safe and wonderful weekend!
