On vacation (“holiday” for you crazy Brits and Canadians out there) 2 weeks ago out in Chautauqua, I was able to write 4 new songs. Just the music, no lyrics just yet, though I’ve at least got vocal melodies figured out for most of them. That’s easily one of my favorite things to do in […]

Managing my iPhone on two computers, at last!
August 20, 2008
I found this article, followed the steps, and voilà! I can finally manage my music* on more than one computer. It’s amazing that you’d have to go out of the way like this to do something so simple as using your device the way you want, but at least it works now. Big kudos to […]

For a good audio recording app…
August 17, 2008

I’d approached the sweets dispenser looking for something in “chocolate”. Being presented with this scenario, my decision seemed to have been made for me. Milky Way(s) it would be. But how many would I get […]
First drum tracks done!
August 6, 2008
For those keeping track (i.e. me), I’ve now rehearsed with four drummers for my new CD. The newest addition is the multi-talented Melanie Krahmer from Sirsy. She’s helping me out with drums on the song “Florida”. You might recall that as one of the tracks on my second acoustic demo CD “Wrote Myself“. Now I’m […]
