I dived into the project of sorting my various music cables out and...
A) Found a couple of cables I thought had been lost 8) and...
B) This allowed me to crank up the volume and drown out my obnoxiously loud neighbor with monster league distortion >:-)
Righteous :angel:
I took the strings off my guitar, I play a lot better now ::)
Right now? My 1979/1981 Maui Blue Strat. Those are stupid crazy rare and I just love that the contours on the body are more 1981 than 1979.
Sounds like a beautiful guitar, have any pic.s?
a better sounding version of a 1969 Zappa recording. Put it on after the download finished (not an official release).
Glorious.
Playing a ballet piece followed by a doo-wop piece, that is typical Zappa and the Mothers absurdity. Then one of the earliest known renditions of a Zappa staple being extended by 10 minutes of soloing. Then a medley of two Zappa tunes and a drum duet. Then the recording cuts out. Bummer. But apparently this tape was edited by Zappa himself. In fact, if you combine this with a certain officially released excerpt, you get the part directly after where it cuts out, apparently edited from the very source tape stolen by bootleggers.
Great quality too.
Listening to Queen live in Mannheim 1986 now. Glorious gig, Freddie was in great vocal shape that day. This show was broadcast live on the german radio station SWR3. Fish (Marillion) joined them for their rendition of "Tutti Frutti" as he did at at least one more gig that tour. They opened for Queen on this final tour.
Great rendition of "Under Pressure" with Freddie singing "Sat on the fence, but it didn't F***ING WORK!". There's a great moment during Love Of My Life after he sings "I still love you" where he yells to the audience "AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!".
Later on i'll finish off "Zappadan" with another listening session, this time a group listening session.
Somewhat different in genre...
I'm back home for Christmas and got to play in the music group at my church this morning. It's quite a mix of people, including my dad and a wee girl who I taught for a couple of years when she started. It was cold so my instruments (flute and recorder) kept going out of tune but it was great to be playing music I know well with people I love!
getting a decent quality microphone is becoming a bigger and bigger possibility for me! that's making me absolutely ecstatic
The amp stand and footswitch I ordered arrived earlier yesterday *Sigh of Relief* No more bending over to make adjustments 8)

There's a pun in there, i know it.
"giggle"
You said "bending over"
heh-heh.
Sorry, just channelling my inner schoolboy.
What makes me pretty happy.... listening to some of my favorite music of course.
And a better source for a 1988 Zappa show turned up Saturday or Sunday. Completely different recording. Graded A-. The previous version was graded B+.
I just told the guys in Ugly Kid Joe that they should call their new album (recording in progress) Houses of the Homely. I mean, if they called the last one Stairway to Hell...
