Pentatonix is very impressive. Making all of those what certainly sound like electronic sounds by just human voices is quite amazing. To be honest, while those "gimmick" sounds with their voices alone sound truly unique in my extremely limited awareness of up to date music, I'm an old fogy and...

I do believe that you're the real deal musician, Gizmo. I'm very happy that you are taking lessons, I'm surprised that you had the same problem as I did/still do, unfortunately. Please take your teacher's advice about not strangling the neck to heart! Early instruction is far better than waiting...

A music related site? I dunno, that seems like a very nice concept but wouldn't it be quite far away from our basic thrust of Linux and Computers with Trimmings-ville? It's fantastic that booman started this thread! I thought the sounds created by that do it yourself stomp-box were less than...

101 Proof Wild Turkey? When I was an alki stronger than 86 Proof was a real mistake. Had to leave it alone. Had a sip of Everclear once many years ago. Unholy stuff that is. But the band named Everclear is very good, imho. I was trying to remember Tal Wilkenfeld who played with Jeff Beck when...

Playing sax since you were eight years old? The hat is off to you, you are an amazing musician! I imagine that any instruction with the licorice stick in fourth grade would have helped, and I forgot about the trumpet I was loaned by the public school in fifth grade. Very good instrument to annoy...

Shucks, I didn't give enough notice to the fact that booman created two albums, when he first mentioned it some time ago and also his recent post about them. You DA MAN, booman! I've never written anything more than a few licks and tbh they were mostly pretty lame. Wow, credit where it should...

Certainly not! I have no wish to make anyone feel lonely. You are absolutely correct the combination of all of our members past and present make a Web site hum right along. A huge THANK YOU! to all members. Plus a behemoth of a Thank You! to the folks that work so hard on our behalf! Dan~...

Amazing, your Rumble 350 2x10" rig can move those drivers at 19Hz? I'm very glad to learn that today's bass amplification has improved so much! Sorry, I was off by ~1.13 Hz--my so bad. I have a 300W Made in USA Fender 300C BXR from years ago, I seriously doubt that its single 15" can handle...

Dan, you were probably denied much of the credit you really deserve for starting and being The Great Editor at AOA. I think we owe you a long deferred huge Thank You!! The site was certainly a group effort, but you initiated it. Thank you! You sayin' that my posts are often epheminate? Shazam...

Dan, your writing at AOA was uniformly brilliant. I tried for years but was never able to equal the caliber of your posts. Or even get very close, to be honest. I love it--a perfectly set up HDD, files puzzackly where they SHOULD be, everything in proper order along with proper...

I too decided to get an unlined fingerboard with my only fretless. The lines just wreck the aesthetics of the neck, imho. But to be honest, I watch those side dots like a hawk. My ears are just not accurate enough. Spent a summer doing perfect pitch note training exercises on a keyboard with a...

Good point. Time flies by so quickly now that I'm an olde pharte it's almost scary. September you say? Autumn is already here? What?! Summer is Seattle's best season by far, I'm bummed that we have nine freakin' months of winter to look forward to. I exaggerate but dark, wet and cold last for...

Wowsa, you guys were indeed the Settlers of the Old West computer-wise. I bet that TI was behind the glass case at Radio Shack, I doubt that Gizmo decided to bring a brick to his local store and run out the door with it. I knew absolutely nothing about PC's back then (not much more now) but seem...

Primus was considered to be God in the Bay Area once upon a time. Guess I'm too much of an old fogy, they never captured my imagination. My taste became "petrified" I guess, I love Huey Lewis and the News. Newer? Why bother? I wish I'd taken some lessons on slapping, all I can manage is a pop...

I was handed a clarinet in Catholic boarding school, then sent to a room alone to "learn to play" it. Such a high caliber of instruction! I'm amazed by your music history, sax is totally cool. Bassoon is a very interesting, and unusual. French horn is the king of the brass section, and no spit...

I didn't get my first machine until a friend's GF gave me her 386 (19 Mhz clock speed) in late '94--I think, anyway. With a 40 Mb HDD, iirc. I was envious of 486, especially 486 DX owners. The 386 was a good quality machine, made by Hyundai of all people. It didn't scream along with 1 Mb of RAM...

Thank you for this information, graywolf.theheathen! This thread has been re-normed!

It is an interesting project and very cool. You play bass, Gizmo? I did too--for ten serious years. School, lessons and lots of practice. Fought off carpal tunnel and arthritis--that's why lessons are important. I set it aside when I realized that it would take ten more years to become...

Very interesting, thank you booman!
