Yeah, I watched the whole thing. I was happy to see the Pistons pull away during the third, but I knew it would come down to the 4th quarter. Most of their games have been won in the second half.

Silence from the Peanut Gallery, eh? Like I said in my previous post, the Pistons can force their will on a game. Case in point: When the Heat tied it up at 80, they had momentum... the crowd was going NUTS, their bench was going crazy, they just had a huge 9-0 run, everything was going their way... ... and then Chauncey goes down and calmly hits a jumper. Then they get a defensive stop. Then they get more points. Then they hold the Heat scoreless from the field for the nearly the next 4 minutes. Will power, folks.

I'm going to email tech support about this.

Bring 'em!!!

Is Cruise dating her now?

After watching the 1st quarter, I am more confident in the Pistons than ever. Why? The match-ups are pretty equal. This series is going to come down to which team that can impose it's will upon the game. And that team is the Pistons.

Lemme guess... OS 9.x, running IE 5.x?

Quick update: We re-tracked "Brother Ray"on Friday and I added a solo organ intro to the Zappa tune and Joe re-tracked the intro to Tenderly using a very special guitar (details below) and then we started mixing. We continued mixing on Saturday and got 5 tunes in the can. There will probably be 8 or 9 on the record. Hopefully we can finish up this coming Friday, then master Saturday and the audio side of things will be DONE! This is getting really exciting! The recording sounds AWESOME! Glenn not only recorded most of the tracks through his Neve 8068 from Muscle Shoals, but he's mixing from ProTools back out to the console as well! The sound is full, deep, and rich. The organ bass in particular is just thunderous. Not over-whelming, mind you, but FULL. It's the sound I've always wanted out of the pedals. Joe experimented with different guitar tones all over the album as well, utilizing several different amps (both his and Glenn's), his Ibanez and his Hofner, and as a special treat, he performed the intro to "Tenderly" on my father's 1976 custom made Gibson Super 400. The sound brought me to tears. I've heard that guitar my entire life (I was born in 1977) and Joe played it just beautifully. I know the sound of that guitar like my own breath. It's very moving. Thanks to my dad for letting Joe use it. Randy used two different kits on this recording, too. His standard Yamaha Stage Custom that is his main gigging kit and his newer Ludwig jazz kit. I also borrowed a friend's Pork Pie piccolo snare for one tune, making it extra funky! That along with Bill Vits' percussion on a few cuts makes for some great listening! I'm very very excited about this new record and I really think this might take us over the hump, if the right people hear it. There is some SHIT going down on this record!

Oh yeah! He's going in the emoticons!!!

Many times when Joe and I are driving home from a gig, we'll switch between three or four classic rock stations. Numerous times we have found either: a) They play the same songs that we heard on our last drive home. and/or b) They play the same songs within a few minutes of each other. ("Hey, didn't we just hear "Another Brick in the Wall"?) and/or c) They play the same song at the exact same time as each other. It's really ridiculous. Once in a great while we'll hear something (usually on the station out of Lansing, WMMQ) that we've either never heard before or haven't heard in a long time. But very very rarely.

I ain't no chicken, sucka! You's ON! Pistons 4-2. I'm gonna get me another new CD this year...

Yeah, I think it may be time for the move. I'll have to make sure they do not move us to a server with a lot of database action, since we are so heavy in that department.

Cool! ← Double cool! That would be awesome!! ← I'd love to install it, but since I don't know French, I really don't understand that page or the installation instructions.

Maybe it was the cookies. I just changed the cookie settings on the board this morning. Hmmmm...

Really!? What changed?

I just changed the cookie settings, so hopefully that will fix the problems with getting logged out for no reason. I realize that just now everyone probably had to log-in again due to the changes, but now the board should remember you better.

<shrugs> They're wrong. Guy ← We'll see...

Yes, there is still a 100kb per post attachment limit. The global space left denotes a function that I am not using. Basically, I can set a per person limit on how much you can upload. So for instance, I could set it so that all regular members could only upload 5mb. After you reach that point, you either have to delete some of your attachments or you can't upload any more. I thought that was silly, so I'm not using it.

Ha! That's funny... I didn't even realize I did that. Interesting how the brain works sometimes (or doesn't work, as the case may be). Doh!

Why are you trying to lose more money, man? I have no interest in an RVG. But there are some other CDs I could use.

Thanks for the heads-up. I do not have enough classical in my collection, especially since I'm no longer in college, where I was in the thick of it (both performing and recording). Sibelius is someone I am only vaguely familair with, but I love organ and orchestra. I will check this out!

Yes, I reset this stat since "342" was obviously a bug of some sort. Our highest before the software upgrade was "96", so somehow I doubt that all of a sudden, at 5:00am Eastern Standard Time, we had over 340 people on here. Something screwy must've happened and I felt that it was dishonest to keep that stat there, so I reset it.
