Reflections and personal updates. A casual corner for real-time observations and life outside the studio.
OK, I knew this would happen eventually. I set out on a reasonable and respectable goal to write at least 250+ words per day for the next 365 days, and I’ve already missed a couple of days… twice, so four days in total. I’ve asked myself: should I just start over (again), or continue on…
That’s a saying that unfortunately seems more relevant every time I go back home. I’m currently living in Missouri; however, home for me will always be in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I try to visit family and a few friends at least two times a year for two weeks (or so) each visit. I try to…
Will going off topic in a blog really hurt a creator in the short, or even the long, run? On the one hand I could care less, and on the other, I do kind of think about it on occasion. First off, what is, “Going off topic?” That would be when you tend to specialize…
Owning 300+ vinyl albums these days is a rare thing indeed. Sure, there are lots of people that post their collections (as I’m doing for my Dad at the moment), but as a whole, it’s rather rare to accumulate such a collection. Some people have none, some have a few, some have thousands, and some…
My Father has been playing in bands since he was in high school, Spartanburg High School, and is still playing today in his seventies. After high school he attended a business school of sorts but never graduated from college. He has maintained jobs at companies like: Arrow Automotive, Circor and Hoke assembling and testing various…
I can’ t promise anything, but I think it’s time to dive in and learn a few things about filming videos. Sure, there’s the whole “What am going to talk about” question that must be dealt with first, but there’s also some basic film settings that I think I should better familiarize myself with. This…
Having a plan to write 250 words-per-day is (I guess) a respectable goal. I mean, I’m certainly nowhere close to being a professional writer, but I DO like the idea of becoming a better writer. Even that notion seems a bit far off at the moment. But that is why I’m embarking on this quest……
I know that music is extraordinarily powerful and an important part of Christian worship services, but I didn’t realize just how much it was referred to in the Holy Bible. According to where you look in your searching, who you talk to, and how you interpret certain versus of scripture, there’s anywhere from 400-1000+ different…
I’m talking about the old TDK, Memorex and BASF cassette tapes that I used to use for 4-track cassette tape recording on my Tascam Porta 05 multi-track recorder. I mean, just taking off the outer plastic cover of one of these blank cassette tapes excited me and made me want to start recording as soon…
