My absence…explained
January 23rd, 2010Please become a fan of “The Cave” my Pro Tools Pre-production and Live recording studio in Mountain View, CA. Facebook only ~ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mountain-View-CA/The-Cave-Music-Recording-and-Pre-production-Facility/327097355706 ~ This photo was taken in the proof of concept stages so to speak. The Cave has matured over about a years worth of recording and engineering activity. I owe a great deal of gratitude to by partner, Kevin Korecky of Pro Audio Rental in Palo Alto who’s been a major benefactor and contributor to our success. We are currently running ProTools 8.4 through an LE interface using a Light Pipe link to a PreSonus 8 channel interface to give us 16 tracks of “live” performance recording capabilities. Eventually with some luck we will upgrade to HD and build around our success.

Easter – And What Has Changed?
April 11th, 2009Even thought the new administration has gotten off to a quick start and even though President Obama has traveled to Canada, Europe, Turkey, and Iraq, What has actually changed? Americans are still struggling to stay employed, make their mortgage payments and keep their financial life lines in tact by hustling. Americans are still divided right down the middle. We are still engaged in two wars. Yes, the stock market is rebounding, slightly and there are signs of life in the financial market (Wells Fargo). However, all in all, we are still bound to the legacy of 10 years of Republican House rule and eight years of GOP dogma and indifference toward the middle class struggle. As we watched the Madoff and Stanford debacles we are reminded that we must pick our leaders carefully for their legacy can bring down generations of Americans and cause unbearable suffering and pain for many American citizens both home and abroad. So, what will change look like when it happens? When will we actually feel the difference and see the difference in our daily lives? I for one, am seeing the difference and I believe wholeheartedly that President Obama is changing the dialogue, and making a difference in how we are perceived throughout the world. But, is it enough? Only time will tell. My biggest concern is that the Left Wing GOP (Wingnutz) and their following will never give up and embrace change and therefore stiffel, corrupt and repudiate all the good that is being done for personal reasons. Denial is their only answer. No is their resolve. As selfish as the GOP is, they still believe that there is opportunity for this type of thinking. The Conservative Movement aims to isolate the US and to extend the idiocy of hubris that got us here in the first place by continuing to lie, cheat, steal and exploit the air waves and the political system. I say to you who read this, in all sincerity, it’s up to us to defend, fight and rebuff the arguments of extremists, so called Christians and rise above the fray by speaking up, acting out and never forgetting who got us here in the first place. Sound off! Let me here from you. I am white, I am Left and I am proud to be a member of the global change initiative! How about you?
Where are we going today/
March 18th, 2009This is a day to reflect and to be thankful for everything that has happened in our lives. As we are all focused on the economy, we are gaining a collective resolve to never let the likes of Ken Lay or Bernie Madoff, happen, ever again. Our focus and resolve are only as good as our actions and our deeds. With that in mind I am doing my share, every day, to support Barack Obama, the President of The United States and encourage others to fight the urge to criticize and lay blame on anyone but the GOP. They got us here by breaking the law, by lying and by abusing the power that was vested in them when they took the oath of office and to protect and support the Constitution of the United States of America. In these next years we must never, ever give up and/or give in to the name calling, bigotry wielding FOX News crowd and we must remain resolute and ever ready to strike down, refute and engage the enemy. The divide is clear and the danger is ever present. Do not, I repeat, do not rest on your laurels and let them utter any more lies, name calling and deliver any more Neo-Con hogwash without a fight. When in doubt, rely on your gut and take them on. Facts speak louder than words, but don’t stop fighting.
