new gear

here, i got me some new gear. just a couple of mics and a mixer. i still need to fiddle with positioning the mics. the sound's a bit boomy but i'm having fun with it.

yeah i know, the video quality is horrendous. even my mom can't recognize me :)

i used the "any video converter" tool to convert to stereo youtube format. many are switching to stereo. if any of you remembers the first time i posted a recording up here, it seems it was an eternity but only 6 months ago.

thanks all--

i'm 32, with 2 young kids.

anyone who tells you kids keep you young is just plain lying. i'm growing older by the minute. so i sure appreciate being called a "young dude"

thanks for the comments!

yeah i got old fast when i had my kids (3 of em by age 29). i learned that 8 hours of sleep was actually 2 nights worth. however in later years i seem to have stayed younger. (i get about 6-7 hours a night now:) i think teaching a lot of young people still in school, helps too.

i'm 48 now. i wake up every morning (early as old folks do) feeling pretty old. but after a few cups of coffee, i'm back in my 20s :)

grandkids keep you young -- your own make you old and grey so you can be a good grand parent (and give em' back spoiled!).
