zephonic Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 This marks my 13th Independence Day and the first one as a US citizen. We are not without challenges in this country, but let us never forget what is good about it. Happy Independence Day! (I don’t think I’ll ever get used to just saying Happy Fourth) 15 1 Quote local: Korg Nautilus 61 AT | Yamaha MODX8 away: GigPerformer | 16" MBP M1 Max home: Kawai RX-2 | Korg D1 | Roland Fantom X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piktor Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Years ago, my wife andI had the opportunity to be in Carmel for July 4th. It was everything that I expected it to be. It was cool to be in your country to celebrate ideals. Canada’s big day is July 1st. On that day we like to go our our province’s Legislature and watch new Canadians being sworn in as citizens. Even with all the shit going on around us, that ceremony helps to restore some of my gratitude and appreciation for our good fortune. I also feel grateful that we have the capacity to share resources and opportunities with others who will also appreciate them. In my neighbourhood, there is an entire housing project at the end of my block that provides homes for African refugees. It has been awesome to see new Canadian kids playing on the streets and field again, just like we used to do in the 1960s. I agree that we all still have many issues to resolve and often lose sight of common cause, but the practice of gratitude, such as the OP expressed certainly helps me keep a healthy perspective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s important to focus on what we’re grateful for, including the best aspects of our countries. Congratulations on your citizenship, zephonic, and a happy Independence Day to you as well.

Sam Mullins Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Just arrived in Boston in time for fireworks on the Charles. My wife and I moved here for grad school 40 years ago right after we were married and are having a nostalgic anniversary trip back. Watching the arrival of thousands of people from all economic, sociological and ethnic backgrounds was a reminder of the promise of this country. And to celebrate: 2 1 Quote Yamaha CK88, Arturia Keylab 61 MkII, Moog Sub 37, Yamaha U1 Upright, Casio CT-S500, Mac Logic/Mainstage, iPad Camelot, Spacestation V.3, QSC K10.2, JBL EON One Compact www.stickmanor.com There's a thin white line between fear and fury - Stickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Greg, I should have used the full name of the city. It was Carmel-by-the-Sea, in California. Still, I appreciate your comment and I too think that it would be great to meet you one day. I’d love to learn more about your musical operations. Unfortunately, we don’t travel as much as we used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Note: A couple of posts were deleted because they veered into politics. This website is not about politics. There are plenty of places on the internet for that. The one exception is that the Sound, Studio, and Stage forum will cover political topics that relate to music, like copyright law revisions in front of Congress or legislation involving AI and the arts. However, these kinds of threads are monitored. Posts that are partisan in nature are removed there as well. Sorry for the interruption. 1 2 Quote Craig Anderton Educational site: http://www.craiganderton.org Music: http://www.youtube.com/thecraiganderton Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/craig_anderton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
