Geeking out

Flat Rabbit jam; John wasn’t able to show due to another commitment, but Brad and I went through all our material and played a bunch of other songs and song fragments. I also bought a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum setup for the computer. It has an SPDIF input and MIDI In and Out so I can interact with my Fender Cyber-Twin Amplifier easily. How does this relate to creativity? It’s a music tool. Perhaps I can make some digital recordings and post them to this site as MP3s. (Being a geek, it also makes me very happy to be able to connect my music, writing and computer hobbies all together. 😀 )

I also bought Morrowind, by Bethesda Softworks. This is the sequel to Daggerfall, and could prove to be a huge time sink if I’m not very careful. Perhaps I could use sessions of Morrowind as rewards for accomplishing small writing goals, as Bruce suggested in his workshop.

Flat Rabbit Jammin’

Jammed with Flat Rabbit. Mick didn’t show, but that’s understandable; he’s between houses at the moment and has a busy schedule. We had fun anyway, and my son played bass with us on a couple of songs. I started learning an original song by Brad and John called “How Can There Be Peace.”

Making Musical Connections

Attended Keith’s state solo competition, went to watch Dot Com play in Colorado Springs. Enjoyed talking with Mick (guitarist) and Brad the Drummer about music and set up a jam session with Mick and Flat Rabbit for Friday, May 10.
