Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: pavane Date: 19 Jul 01 - 04:12 AM I upgraded my MIDI WIZ program to add a GM reset command to the front of any MIDI existing file. Stops MIDI file players starting up using the instrument settings and adjustments from the previous MIDI file. (Many MIDI files on the web DON'T have reset commands.)

Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: john c Date: 19 Jul 01 - 12:18 AM Our drummer didnt turn up the other night, so for the first time in my life I was sitting behind a drum-kit. GREAT fun (but it sounded bloody awfull, as the rest of the band took enormous pleasure in telling me!). |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: hesperis Date: 18 Jul 01 - 11:39 PM I figured out how to use soundfonts in Cakewalk! |

Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Justa Picker Date: 18 Jul 01 - 11:29 PM I have created what I think might be an absolutely new genre of music - acid jazz meets Travis style fingerpicking. Written two songs and plan to record them in the next little while. Any suggestions for a name of this new genre?....so that I can tell the record stores how to label the delete bins they'll be resting in? :-) |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Jul 01 - 10:25 PM Well...........I know this ain't much of an accomplishment, but tonight I was able to hold the damn guitar in my normal playing position for 5 minutes without saying, "Holy shit does that ever hurt." The small incision made to pass in the valve to the robot cut through the muscle and also the nerves leaving an odd tingling sensation that gets pretty painful when you put any pressure against it......even a shirt. I got the shirt thing covered with baggy-ass shirts, but it's finally getting to the point I can put a little pressure there without too much pain. Maybe by next week it will have passed enough to be only an annoyance! Last week when someone ran the "Playing Autoharp without Pain" thread, I was tempted to answer, "I can't at the moment!" Spaw |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Jeep man Date: 18 Jul 01 - 10:17 PM I sang a song for my 4 year old grandaugher(The Unicorn Song), and she is now singing it while she plays. Best audience I ever had. Jeep |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: SINSULL Date: 18 Jul 01 - 09:49 PM I have mastered "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Love Me Tender" (yeah I know. I did it to see if you were all awake.)on my guitar. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Celtic Soul Date: 18 Jul 01 - 09:44 PM I learned a few new pieces recently. I have some of you in part to thank for that. I have also realized that one never stops learning. I think the best part of all is the knowledge that there is always more to know. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Noreen Date: 18 Jul 01 - 09:06 PM I heard myself on CD for the first time, yesterday, and was very pleased, and amazed, at how it sounds... Thank you, Gomez! And thanks for the thread, Kim, just the right thing. Noreen |

Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 18 Jul 01 - 06:19 PM I MAY have mentioned this in another thread, but earlier this month, by invitation, I did a half-hour featured spot at the 27th annual folk music festival in Indianapolis, sponsored by the Central Indiana Folk Music and Mountain Dulcimer Society. I sang folk (type) songs with guitar and with banjo (one unaccompanied.) Had some nice feedback, too. Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Mr Red Date: 18 Jul 01 - 06:12 PM Wrote the Pencil Sharpening Shanty someone said to me at Alcester FF "I'm waiting for the Pencil Sharpening Shanty" and one week later the challenge got to me. Did it at the Dragon FC Bristol (every Fri) and it looks like shanty man Mike Starkie is about to filtch it. I'm sure it'll get a paring (sic) at Warwick FF. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Walking Eagle Date: 18 Jul 01 - 06:03 PM Performing for my mom this past June at her 80th birthday party. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Clinton Hammond Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:58 PM Me and the band spent the whole rehearsal last night on one song, but I'll tell ya, our version of "The Ribbon" is really wicked cool now!!! And we picked up another gig today, so we have somewhere to play "The Ribbon"! LOL!!! |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Kim C Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:57 PM GREAT, y'all!!! Keep going! |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Jon Freeman Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:26 PM Not really sure it's an accomplishment but for me and music, getting back into playing in a good regular session after pretty near a 3 year lay off from regularly meeting good players. Jon |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Diva Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:20 PM I believe Micca won a cup for songwriting at the weekend. I won 2 cups for singing at Newcastleton 2 weeks ago. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Linda Kelly Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:19 PM This seems really naff and will expose me as a complete idiot -but I have been trying to come to terms with my yamaha pr160- mainly to assist in song writing. well with time on my hands I read the manual and realised that with the odd press of the button, it displays the notes I am playing and also the notation -I've only had it a year! My playing has not improved at all but it has been incredibly helpful in not having to rely on others to do the notation for me. |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Amos Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:14 PM You sure that was musical? :>) I wrote three good songs in two weeks, which I am happy with, including one that has been sitting around half-baked for about 8 years! A |
Subject: RE: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: SDShad Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:14 PM But Kim, how'd you fit the bag onto the fiddle? :-) My latest musical accomplishment? Singing a solo of Albert Hay Malotte's "23rd Psalm" in church a week ago Sunday. Just me and the organist--this aging, beloved, slightly curmudgeonly, and brilliant musician who's been there for decades. Not folk, and not necessarily a big deal, but it's the first time I've sung a solo with Jack, ever, and the first time I've sung that kind of solo music since singing "O Holy Night" at a campus Advent vespers service about 14 years ago. It felt really good. I've sung folk-and-folk-style music in church many times, but I think some people were still surprised I had this kind of singing in me. Chris |
Subject: Share your latest musical accomplishment From: Kim C Date: 18 Jul 01 - 05:07 PM Let's talk about something happy, shall we? What is your latest musical accomplishment that has you feeling triumphant? I figured out how to make my fiddle sound like bagpipes. No big deal, really, but I figured it out all by myself! Anyone else? |
