Cool Topic. Congrats first to all, particularly Chico. Great stuff.

OK well... what I didn't do this year ( for the first time in memory ) is complete any new songs, though there are a lot of pieces in place. Mainly because here is what I did do:

1. I converted my basement studio into living quarters for my mom. I built a new bathroom and kitchen for the first time, plumbing and all. The other work involved ( carpentry, electrical, etc ) I have done many times before. Befor the year is through I will be working on my new studio, which is a room to be converted in my attic. It will not be quite as big as my basement studio was, but at 20 x 14 I don't think I'll be hurting too much for space.

2. For the first time also... I bought a laptop and converted it into a genuine workstation / arranger. When I tally up what I spent on the puter, a "dumb" keyboard, music software, and several softsynths / samples, it probably prices out near what a PA1x would have cost me. But ohhh... the sounds.

Yikes! how are you doing since you had this procedure done......feeling better....?

You mean "First time life experiences"? OK, the only one I'll confess to is hitting the road with my SD1.

Hi: Donny
I'm feeling much better now, but for the first few days I didn't
care if I lived or died, wasn't good.
Had 10 of my upper teeth grown into my sinus's so they
had to cut them out & do some reconstruction work on the
sinus.
I go back Nov. 29th for impression to make the false teeth,
should have teeth again some time in Dec.
This will be good.

I took my son to a WWE "RAW" Live on TV Pro wrestling venue!
My son was so excited because we had ring side seats. As for me, well...some of those guys weren't too bad to look at!

1) Planted green manure crops (buckwheat then winter rye) instead of vegetables (to increase soil fertility). I have never done this before.
2) Giving up foods that contain white sugar and/or white flour. (Blood glucose out of whack) Something that I have to do, but never did before.
