HEllo to all ,
Here's a quick update from dano ........
I had knee surgery in Nov.2001,
I have been active playing raquetball again.
**** ****
My kids are growing up very fast . My daughter will be 10 in 3 weeks and my son will be 8 ( he has earned a blue belt) . Both are good students ! I feel blessed to have wondeful children . The teenage years draw near ! Oh ...the wife is great too!

I have been recording alot recently . I have mentioned that I use a Tascam 788 HDR that I purchased a few months ago . I really enjoy using a HDR vs. a computer setup . I think that keyboardist have an edge because we can mix parts ( volumne levels, voice etc..) on the keyboard ! Just getting the vocals correct and adding extra parts is really easy IMO with HDR . Hoping to put out a CD in near future .
I want to thank everyone who gave information on our pending trip to Niagara falls . Rooting for the PATS ! dano

DanO - when you're ready to mass produce the CD - give me a call. My friend and I are doing dups at a VERY nice price ! Artwork and plastic wrap included ! $5 each - complete and ready to sell at 12-15 bucks !

Hi DanO!

Glad to see you and your family are doing well. I have been through the teenage years with my girls. I would NOT want to do it again! Your in for it! ha-ha

I started a new job and have not had too much energy to do much else other than read this forum. I have to find time to fit my keyboard into it. I am enjoying it when I get the free moments to play.

My elderly Mom just LOVES the PSR! She comes over on weekends and loves to sing along with the music and the voice harmonizer! I may have to get her one too! ha-ha

Take care,

-Linda

My wife and I have been busy relocating to Chicago. She has taken a job as caretaker for her aunt and I am busy helping her and writing music. Her other aunt just passed away last Friday. She was 93 and had a good life. Everyone is doing pretty well but there is and will be a greiving process to go through. We feel very blessed to be here to help in any way we can. It has been a real change for both of us though. You get used to getting up and going into work, coming home, etc. Since I was layed off from my job December 31st, everything has changed. But the Lord has His ways and His timing so my wife and I will trust Him and see what happens. It should prove to be a very interesting year.

While we're opening up here - My daughter Kelly is doing so much better since a new medication started, and she's becoming a "part" of the family again. 16 is SOOOOooo tough - especially for a girl, so all you parents of teenagers - BEWARE ! It's a new world, and it didn't get any easier.
The other girls are great, wife is working a new job (part time) that she likes, dog is fat and happy, and I just made some MAJOR improvements to my studio. I have a few sessions scheduled this month, and I'm ready to roll ! Thanx to all the well wishers - and hope you have a wonderful Saint Valentine's day !

Well, looking for some teenage girls, but no luck.

Dano, let me know when you ready to play some serious raquetball. I've been playing for about 11 years 3 times a week. I need some serious competition.

Been married for about 2, or 3 i don't really remember.

In the processes of using my SD1 to finish a song that has a couple of purchase offers on it.

Now I have to go vacuum the upstairs, bye.

So......Frank plays a little racquettball !
*~* !
We shall meet ....on the court ! one day dano

Debating going back to do some work with teenagers acting out of hurt ---ye are putting me off re teenage years.

to continue I was agig last night and had great fun I think I'll stick to music. Working hard at 6 string Banjo great sound and volume. (Irish trad tunes).
Going to reorganise x1 AGAIN. Pierce

Hello again everyone,
Have been away for quite a while! Long and short of it is that I got the 'big c' around six months ago. Whilst not completely out of the woods yet am very nearly there.
First off apologies to you all for dissapearing like that. Whilst I did check in from time to time to see what you were all up to I really did not feel like posting. This apology is especially for those like Scott Yee and Uncle Dave (and others) who must have wondered where I got to
Am especially pleased that Uncle Dave is back posting regularly
Was agog and aghast when Scott threatened to sell the kn5000! Glad to see you still have it Scott! The namm pics on your site were excellent by the way! Do you have a painting in the attic?
Well am glad to be back and whilst I know I was a little self indulgent lurking in the shadows, many many thanks to you all because some days it was only checking in to see what you were all up to that made me feel human. Like Don M says....this place is like a family and I am grateful for it.
Right I am off before I get too soppy!
Love to all
Tony UK
