Doug thank you if you or anyone else can find  photos of any old models like the ones les paul used for multitracking (im still looking for them) post them,I'll look around and see what else I can add and you should have snagged that antique up when you had the chance and I know how much stuff you told me you and the misses tossed out but that would have been a good one to keep smile

Hi Russ
I think I remember you mentioning this rock opera you wrote a while back.
Is this a new recording of it?
Certainly reminds me abit of Jesus Christ Super Star I guess it's the Biblical contex.
You seem to draw alot of your insparation from Bible stories.
Liked the Instrumental Accention well I would smile
and Song for Thomas...
Thanks for sharing..

I'm working on a long piece of music myself more tracks than I care to mention smile
It's a long term project.

rokai scales are based on intervals  and the formula is 111 1/2 111 1/2 steps for a major scale in the key of C there are no sharps or flats and the notes are  C D E F G A B C  in D there are 2 sharps F# and C# the reason for this is the above formula and this works for any major key,the sharp in order are G D A E B F G  its easy to figure out which interval is sharp by applying the formula G has 1 sharp D has 2 A has 3 ect.. lets take the G scale the intervals or steps,notes have to follow like this G  A  B  C  D  E  F#  G just use this formula for a major scale

Yippie! I had a feeling this country was ready for a change and this was the time for it, I liked sen.McCain he's a great American and I agree he was very gracious in his concession speech it was a disappointment I'm sure but I feel the country needed a change and Obama is the next president for that reason.

I have uploaded three new songs to myspace they are selected from a opera I composed and were written for a stage production called "Alleluia" a christian Rock opera meant to be performed in a large church with a choir and sound and lighting if you have a few minutes please give a listen,all the songs in the opera are based on the book of Matthew in the new testament I had to rearrange the lyrics so they followed the scriptures but maintained the message smile
