moot Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 These whippersnappers dunno how good they got it! when I was in college I worked for Apple Computer at the plant where the first Macs were made. No hard drive and a whopping 128k of ram. Whew! Hot Rod!! You were lucky if it could get through a game of chess. http://www.old-computers.com/museum/photos/apple_mac128.jpg Quote "He is to music what Stevie Wonder is to photography." getz76 I have nothing nice to say so . . .

Juancarlin Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I Remember! "If you can point and click, you can use a Macintosh!!". I flirted with Macs since these early days, then spent some years on the "dark side" of PCs, and in the early-mid 2000's went back to macs, all the way, without turning back (except for Linux, only, on a few machines). But what finally got me sleepless for several years, and which handled (in an easy, friendly, beautiful way) my musical chores for almost 8 years was this pretty machine: The Atari 1040 ST. 1 Meg RAM, system on CMOS, no hard disk drive. You turn it on, it loads the system, then you load the program from a floppy, then replae with a floppy with your on material (In my case, it was Passport's Master Tracks Pro, and my floppies with MIDI sequences). http://bachware.com/books/computer%20utilization/Graphics/Atari%201040ST.jpg It even sported a couple MIDI ports on the side, was total ready-to-go plug & play!. Oh, those days...

Juancarlin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Another "Tennessee" eccentricity: HERE. http://tropicalmoonmusic.eaph5.com/share/ufo12and6bass/UFO111.JPG And they call it "UFO"! ! ! That makes at least three somekindamonster instruments made by the "tennessee" brand I've seen already. Makes me wonder.. if I get some day really, really filthy rich, would I sell all my instruments, buy me a couple or threesome "Tennessee" beasts as these, and spend the rest of my days trying to be proficient at them, and even worse, trying to find me a gig playing these things...

Phil W Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yay! I asked my kids I teach (7-9 years old) if they knew about the election and which country it was in - they did. I asked if they knew the names of who people were choosing between and I got a thoughtful silence . . . until Mary said that she thought one of the candidates was Bob Marley.

The Geoff Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hey Guys, I don't often drop in here, but I've been learning to sing & play bass at the same time. We recorded this last night - 'All or Nuffin' http://www.myspace.com/mainstreetuk G.

Phil W Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Geoff, I tried to learn that . . . and realised it's not the bass playing and singing at the same time I sucked at . . . rather just singing full stop.

About 3 weeks ago I couldn't play & sing, but I kept trying, and as long as the bassline isn't too busy, I manage. G.

Rocky McDougall Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Geoff, All or Nuffin was very good, I'm proud of you, playing and sing at the sametime. I'm impressed. I can't even smile and play at the same time. Rocky Quote "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb, voting on what to eat for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb, contesting the vote."

Tom Capasso Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Nicely done. I used to sing lead, and while I struggled with some songs, some I managed pretty well. Over the last 4 years we've had a real singer, and my ability has just about left me... Tom Quote www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

moot Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I did the sing and play thing for years and while some songs gave me trouble, for the most part it was reasonably easy. Here's one from the - archives One of our friends recorded it on his cell phone. Pardon the butchery in the transition there - one of the few times we actually didn't hit it.
