Nice to see yer buggy eyed frog there, too, MT. I assume yer still keeping San Diego safe for all of us.

Thanks for explanations and info. The box is a beautiful little thing. It has swing tuning, which sounds great to my ears, whether that's ultimately what I might want...

I will always think of him when I look at the night sky. In fact, I already did because his love and fascination with the stars was so infectious.

Hey everyone. Some of you remember me from past posts as a guitar player and whistler.. Just got a Dino Baffeti B/C. Hoping to slowly attain tunes as well as use the thing for sea shanteys and in my music group. I took the advice to get a B/C from a thread here but was surprised to see a plurality h...

Maybe they should change its name so it doesn't live up to expectations.

I would work in a meal with MT. A very kewl character if you hadn't already met. Seriously. How could we have missed the obvious best choice? :) I did that once. It's not a bad idea. (wait...Weeks, does this make me one degree of separation closer to you?) Well, back in the day (all of five or six ...

I'll second on the Breathnach books. The integrity is complete in them, the author did his very best to be accurate. The updated ONeill's is a bit of a time capsule, in the sense that many of the tunes in there have evolved a bit, so both their titles and execution are kinda different than today's n...

I work in a retirement golf community. Any questions? We have a vocal minority who wants to close one of the two courses and let it "go back to nature." Which is really funny, because in this part of Calif. that means a lot of dry grass, coyotes and rattlers. They have this idea that it wo...

Of the three, Scotty is the only one who would truly have a future in the music business. Close your eyes and listen to that voice. With a little training, like letting loose on high notes, instead of pinching them, he is perfect for country and perhaps more. I just think that without the Idol atten...

Thanks, Piper. I did wonder why the handbook that came in box was so slight. Compared to 2004 Finale, I'm sure the interface will be much easier no matter what....

Finally dropped a bundle on Sibelius as my aging copy of Finale won't work on my new box and I hate that program. I got ed discount but not crosstrade as my copy was part of an NPS grant and was registered to the non-musician who got it for me and others to compile music for grant project. I have on...

I think Scotty should win now, because Lauren just doesn't bring enough to the table. Yes, she has a big voice, but there are plenty of big voices out there in musicland. Scotty is unique. I wish he would lose a couple of affectations but he's just a kid. Gaga tried to get him to stop flutin' the mi...

Sigh. The sentiment for now is, "I ain't gonna watch anymore." I'll probably make a liar of myself if I say it, but I am bummed. I don't know how the slippery Haley keeps surviving. She creeps me out. Glad SC still had the Durbin Day. Afaic, he won this year.

Durbin did the best, but still I wish some vocal coaches would tell him not to screech inappropriately, and teach Scotty to hold notes out and sing a bit more evenly. It would make vast improvements because both of them really showed a ton of charisma and attention to "the moment.". I actu...

Thankful for your personal safety, shocked and dismayed by the event and losses of life and property. I talked to my bro. in Tennessee yesterday and they escaped damage but he described the trees snapped off at four feet from twisting winds, and attempting to drive home in ultra heavy rains and such...
