G-E-E-K

For the past few weeks, I have been having so much fun with
my new home studio.

I have recently purchased a small mixer. On my birthday I
sort forced everyone around me to get me
things. My brother got me a condenser microphone, Bruce got me a mic stand, and
my cousin bought me pop filter.

I cannot express how much fun I have been having since I
got  my mini studio set up in the
basement. I have recorded a few cover songs, composed and recorded an original
song (no, I?m not sharing.) And definitely will try to compose more original
tunes. One of my closest friends, Henry, who lives in San Francisco, is working
on the lyrics (he?s a great writer.)

I ordered most of my equipment from Zzounds.com.  They sent me the wrong color mic stand. The black one is
arriving today, and the chrome one?s going back to Zzounds. By the way, Zzounds
have great customer service. If you want to buy any audio equipment, I?d highly
recommend them. On top of that, if you are a thorough shopper like me, and if
you find a cheaper price from another site, they will match that price for you.
And many of their items have free shipping. And no, I don?t get commission from
them.

To earn my status of a ?GEEK,? I am on pins and needles,
awaiting my VERY backordered Keystation49e,
a keyboard that my parents and my sister ordered for me. Oh I can?t tell you
how excited I am!

And of course, all these won?t be happening if Apple didn?t
come out with their new hot application, GarageBand!

Oh, I guess I have already earned the title of a ?GEEK? even
before my Keystation49e. Oh well, I?m a geek with pride.

Woohoo!

    Well, having listened to a few samples of your work, Marc (who can sing) and I (who can’t) both think you have a wonderful voice. If all of this new equipment means you’ll be sharing your voice with the rest of the world even more, then that’s a great thing!

    Sharing it with the world! Eee…not yet. But I could share some of the covers I recorded recently. There’s only one song that I like so far. But thanks for the sweet comments. I love singing.
