A few pics from the Road

My last gig with the Symphony of The Mountains was a doosie!  We were quite busy!  Three outdoor Concerts, in three days, in three states!   Although it required quite a bit of driving, it was still pretty fun. The concert was long and  made more difficult by the fact that each outdoor venue was majorly different.  It was worth … Read more

Windows 8 wireless Management

Back when I was setting up my Surface pro, I was trying to quickly move some of my wireless connections to the tablet. There aren’t a lot of them but since I didn’t remember their passwords,  why not just export them or at least view them from my laptop and copy the settings? Well, the laptop that I was going to take … Read more

Ok. After much complaining and whining, I finally got my Surface Pro.

So, that prompted me to look out … Read more

The Show

A year or so ago, I was playing a recording session and the engineer hired a Quintet of us to record an extra piece.   At the time, he said it was for a singer’s new album.  This past summer, I was playing a session with the same recording engineer and he gave me and my comrades each a copy of … Read more

Pit-chures you missed

So… When I was… out.  We’ll just say I was out. When I was out, I took a bunch of “pitchures” that you imaginary folks never got forced  er… the pleasure of viewing.  So, I thought I’d start off my “return to web-dom” by linking a few of them here. They are all quite “artsy” so, if you don’t like … Read more
