Thanks for posting your work, guys. GfS, I was hoping you'd post a link to that piece, because I love it, and I'd forgotten where to find it.

Really nice flavors, Will, and they flow together really well-not that we ever wondered, but it shows that you can do more than one kind of music.

Blandiver, that was an absolute delight(one can even dance to it!), and for such a low price!

Thanks Blandiver and Stim. I don't do much of this kind of music these days, but I really enjoyed creating collages of sound with the Korg and my Roland 8-track - overlaying different textures like a painting. Good fun.

Thank you, Will lad, Good one.
Personally I don't care what music is made on as long as I like it. So there.

Will Fly, Is there anywhere else besides 'SunCloud' where your music can be heard?...It won't play when I click the 'play' icon.
Thank you!

Try a different browser, GfS. Had the same problem when I brought it up on Camino, but it played perfectly when I used Safari.

Hey Stim!..Hi...
I posted another piece for you..did you get it?

I've got some more,and am planning on posting some other 'older' stuff, and am getting ready to record some even newer stuff. The 'older' stuff I was going to post as 'Private'..which would mean by invitation only..not open to the public. If you so like, I'll put you on the list to be able to view it.

Sorry, GsF - Soundcloud is the only place I store my audio stuff. Works OK with Firefox...

This guy uses NO instruments....but does multitrack..because he'd need to find others who could do THIS!
For all those musical snobs who object to electronics!!!!
Enjoy!!..He's got more, just click them.

Back to musical snobbery.   I have my moments....even though I admit to liking a lot of 'bad' music. But I guess that just the fact I call it 'bad' music probably reinforces that 'snob' category.   I mean, how do we really judge what is 'good' and what is 'bad'?

I don't think there is any category of music I totally dismiss. My own personal experience has been that about 90% of music in every category I either judge as 'bad'....or simply don't care for.

Does that make me a snob? Probably.

Maybe not strictly relevant, but I thank a quote from Sir Thomas Beecham (orchestral conductor) might be appripriate.
"The British don't know much about music, but they simply LOVE the noise it makes!".

Beecham was a great conductor, a keen observer, and very pithy--whether or not you agree with him.    One of my favorites (though it's somewhat amazing that he got away with it) is what he said about a female cellist.)

These days, when PC has in some quarters replaced a sense of humor, somebody would find a way to sue him.
