    I consider myself a singer that accompanies himself with a lot of different instruments. The pay now sucks. In the 80s we made way more than now. Most every musician I know has to have a "normal" job to supplement the income. I'd love to be able to do this for a living but I'd have to be...

    I use frets.com for all my guitar tricks and truss adjustments etc. FRETS.COM is a good write up on removing bridge pins... I put power pins on my fender acoustic and am going to put them on my taylor. highly recommend them. makes acoustic string changes a breeze. I see they make a bridge pin...

    I keep my e cig on the table beside the.mixer. I was smoking cigars again but had to give them up. I have had trouble finding e liquid that doesn't make.me cough. Allergic to artificial sweeteners and I think everyone uses it now. Just found a local guy has some that is smooth so back on the e...

    I retired on the 80s and just came back but just a weekend warrior. I did recently work a deal with abaca records. That is partly why I need to get.back to recording. I was supposed to be included in this year's MIDEM in.France but I couldn't get the songs ready in time. I was moving and got...

    The Goldberg letter is very good. I have turned down so many free gigs. I don't mind doing charity fundraisers (I will be doing the kidney foundation again this year).. but this city thing... I was told originally it was for charity but no. They are a non profit org for the city.. figure that...

    It is. I play 4 to 5 hrs, depending on the market and always do 2 hrs before I break. About 50 to 60 songs. I am one of those people that can't stand still either. I equate all the singing to something like doing sit ups. That said I found out the Mission market has a winter indoor market and...

    I finally have a weekend off from gigging. It has been months. 3 days off in a row too. Friday I am laying some tracks down for a couple originals. Maybe re record a couple parts on songs I have finished. Pallet shuffle that tin mandolin still bugs me and Fly I have shortened and edited lyrics...

    I find the zoom very easy to navigate. I just got a condensor clip on mic so I can record banjo and my acoustic mandolin properly. I laid down some rough tracks to get the ball rolling. Tried recording some bongos but alas, I am not a drummer ;) Time to implement the kiss principle. My...

    I just set my studio back up. I have a zoom R24. it has 24 tracks but can do up to 8 at once. digital. I like a seperate recorder myself. I need faders and such. the easiest DAW on computer I ever worked with was mixcraft. my computer needed to be updated and it was more cost effective then to...

I actually did well and they want me back and...

    I played this weekend. Check out the lady walking by in the first few seconds. When I sang good looking mama, she looked at me then gave this big smile. It was like I sang that part just for her haha. Loving that new Taylor acoustic guitar

    I think Dave, you and I could actually get along musically. I actually do 4 Pink Floyd tunes in my sets now. I found a video with David Guilmor doing Breath acoustically and think that one is getting added soon too

    I feel the same about copperhead road. I always play it every gig, people love it but I am sick of it. the freebird of mandolin but less complicated.... when I play it at a jam and someone asks "what are the chords?" I just reply play D... the C and G are so infrequent you can just play D LOL

    Depending on the market I play, I run through up to 60 songs in a day. It is a workout. I have to wear long sleeve shirts (the scar on my arm from last saturday wearing a short sleeve is proof lol). I try to add 2-3 songs a week into the repetoire and I am going back into the books to find some...
