Very nice, can I play electric violin with you all?:-6

Clancy wrote: Of course you can, chonsigirl …tell you a quick true story. My uncle was a violinist, his name was William Wallace (how Scottish can you get) he was the second violinist in the S.N.O. ( Scottish National Orchestra ) the first violinist at that time was a man called McCallum ….he was the father of David McCallum the actor who played Ilya(?) (the blonde one) in the tv show The Man From, U.N.C.L.E.

.
Oh, I loved Ilya as a teenager!:-4

Clancy wrote: I liked him too. I asked for my hair to be cut just like his when I was a teenager , the hairdresser made an arse of it ....and I had to wear a hat for three weeks

I was mortified
Poor Clancy, we just wore our hair down long, never had those ordeals...........

*hey, I still don't-ha-ha!*

Did you install that Dean Markley p/u in the 12? I have one just like it on a cord, which I slip and out temporarily in my Gibson J250. I'm getting up enough nerve to install a serious bridge pickup, even carve out the side of the body for the EQ box.

What kind of stuff do you play? On FG you can post about minute-long snippets in MP3- ever tried it?

I play piano. My Grandma willed me her 1907 upright grand because I was the only grandchild to take up the piano. It still tunes to A 4/40. It is solid oak sound board set in cast iron. It's a bit*ch to move.

Here's a clip of a banjo break for a song Chonsi will recognize, that I recorded on Cakewalk with banjo, keyboard and guitar.

Wow, that was cool-you did all 3 instruments?

Hmmm, I should try putting a clip of the praise band one of these time, when we are rocking on a Sunday. If I learn how to be techno-savy enough!

Here's me bungee jumping. (improvised solo) Using, rhythm box....bass, shakers...to form the basis of a "Do It Again" (Steely Dan) style groove, then using a guitar synth as the melody line (but by that time, I had to cut off so it would fit in here. I've brought the solo further up in the mix










did you ever hear me say that I have this weird yin for midi music......it makes me laugh:wah: can you knock out some Zeppelin (midi style) this is great.

That's pretty cool! I used to play for a rock band in Tempe Arizona in the 80's. they went platinum....6 months after I left for my day job!:(

I have a 1969 Fender Bullet.

You're hot, Clancy! You get a nice sound in your home studio. You obviously have more time to play than I do.

My friend (center bottom row) who's Dad played the lead role in the 60's TV show, "The Baron" just sent me this picture of our High School garage band, ca. 1972. Skooch and the Vibes. I don't miss having long hair. I miss being free to grow it long if I want to without looking only older and out of place in my office.

No, midi's were once a fashion trend in the 70's..............

*off topic*

:)

Damn, the flippin file won't play on my real-player, god I hate microsoft they are tossers. I will try and attach a wav. file of a song I wrote and recorded on an album a few years ago, see if you like it. No, now I can't even find the bloody file on the laptop, this sucks, I will attept this later. Clancy, I will try and listen to your mp3 file later as well, my computer has obviously been possessed by the ghost of Tommy Cooper, what can I say?

Big rehearsal tonight......

*bouncing up and down for joy*

We are getting ready for The Christmas musical this weekend.......

First one I get to direct, and not play or sing in!

:)

Okay here I go again, lets see.................no the wav file is way too big, I will try to make it an MP3 somehow, this is driving me mad!

OK, I need help, does any computer whizz out there know how to (easily) convert a wav. file into a MP3 format? Before I throw this bollicking machine through the fricking window?
