Stuff

I don’t suppose I lead the most interesting of lives and most the time music is consuming my mind in some form, which it still is.. For some reason my older stuff is starting to sound better to me.  I don’t know if it’s just because I adjusted my sub in the studio, or what. lol.

A guy has been looking for months for my album Live Deeper that was released under the Underground Bass Masters. It’s been out of print for many years. He’s looked relentlessly all over the net for it and was unable to find it. He emailed me saying he almost bought a used copy of it from a guy for $50. When he proceeded to ask the other guy why he was willing to sell his copy, the guy told him, “Oh, I don’t want to sell it anyway!”. I’m slightly wondering if this guy was trying to scam him somehow?? Or if this guy’s just crazy and thinks he can get more than $50 out of one of my albums.. I’m surprised that anybody would be willing to spend $50 to get a hold of a copy of one of my albums.. That’s just crazy.

Anyway, after he told me this, I said, shit! I’ll just burn you a CD-R of Live Deeper. What’s your address?? So he gave me his address and he donated $25 to my site via PayPal out of gratitude. That was nice.. It’s flattering that anybody would go through these lengths to get a copy of a record. I’m going to throw more stuff in the envelope that he wont be expecting, as soon as I can figure out what.

So, I’ve been wiping off and cleaning some of my old synth gear. I’m thinking of bringing it all out and setting it up, so it’s all hooked up and ready to use. Loading, or converting old sample banks into new ones from my old E-mu samplers. etcetera.. Maybe I should try to mix together old and new ways of doing things.
