southpaw I think what I like best about the engineer on my sessions is he's much like the one you were working with,willing to try different ideas and offering suggestions and very respectful of the artist so we gel and the results show it one more thing ego is fine in the studio behind a microphone,in fact its almost a necessity but when the track is done and you sit down in the control room and listen to it ego gives way to objectivity and reality because the recorder dont lie and a bad note or vocal mistake cant be covered up only redone till its either right or omitted,yes I feel the same I would also like to spend most of my time as a session musician or recording artist whats better? absolutely nothing uh huh

Ken I agree that the charts are replete with over produced homogenized bla bla(insert your own expletive) its a sad thing but there are radio stations taking a different direction and playing more interesting music by unknown artist who knows they may even give us a call

Atta boy always something new to learn, I do each and every day, I wrote a song "chains of growing" about the stages of life it reminds me of a quote (this may not be exact) it go's "when I was a very young man I thought my parents were stupid,but as I grew older I realized how much smarter they got

A big amen to that Jerome,I return to the studio next saturday and I can echo your sentiments, Most people are of the opinion you just walk in a studio and sing or play a part and your out of there in ten minutes with a CD in your hands...well its not that easy,and believe me its hard work to get a quality recording because altho you may think its ok (and this is because your tired of redoing your mistakes) the sound engineer rules,he will tell you when the track is good and wont accept a second best performance because thats his job and whoever records in a studio must understand this, and be happy someone is monitoring your output in your best intrests so when you do leave with a CD of your recording it will be your best effort

I have a chinese standard so1 strat and it plays beautiful it cost me $165.00 without a case of course I had to reset the intonation and lower the action and a slight spring adjustment and for good measure a truss rod tweeking but the pickups are very active and the neck is fast and easy to navigate

thanks buvvy I will copy and paste these lyrics to my notepad and work with them they have a good ol rock and roll feel to them so it shouldn't be to hard to integrate them into the music but on a side note for other entries send it by email the link is on the left,this way I will get the lyrics so no one else can borrow from your ideas

Helena,Ark,Kenny,Phill it was a pleasure to be part of this project,emails crossing the oceans, files soaring into space to a satellite and beamed on a stream of light carrying minuscule atoms of information morphing into a Melodie and collected and returned then fed into editing programs where they are dissected and transformed and rearranged into a final 5 minutes of thought provoking entertainment, and this is only the beginning.......

David thank you for comming aboard we could use the help and by the way check out the "challange 11" in this forum all you have to do is compose some words for a song I composed I have uploaded it to my mediafire account so click on my mediafire link at the bottom of this post and the folders name is "Rumpty" its a rock and roll song so dip that pen in some ink and go for it,I will add your name to the other esteemed lyricist and thanks again "buvvy"

Delightful James, I love going to the library for many of the reasons you gave but theres one more, theres a few really nice looking ladies who check out my books and there everything you have written about and more I think I will check out some books today nice little ditty of a song

Thats ok you aint that good looking anyway things are a little looser here, im more interested in recording and original music and this concept of producing songs for members may take a while to take hold but at least the structure is in place and the idea has worked on several projects already so im optimistic and look for a good new year we only lack participation from other members and this squabble going on is not helping matters it would make a good song "the poets rebellion" I think I will compose some music for it

Oh absolutely.  The funny thing is though, for this guy, it works.  He's our best song writer, but he's pretty particular about having something finished before we bring it out to the public.

Last gig cracked me up, though.  We have a girlie calendar hanging in our rehearsal space, and he noodled down some lyrics as an ode' to one of the girls on it.   We were on a break at a gig a few days later, and he's furiously writing down lyrics at the bar.  10 minutes later he steps to the mic and belts out this nifty little ditty about Ms. November.  We all fell into a four part harmony right on the spot.  It was a hit, and the first time anyone had even heard the song, including the guy that wrote it!

So things are weird like that.
