Umphreys mcgee show at the roxy on Gigatron turned out to be half right...

It turned out the show was actually The North Indiana Allstars (3 umphrey's mebers w/ a super bassist, and willie waldman on trumpet (amazing players) the openming act called "Ohmphrey" is half umphrey's Mcgee, and half of "Ohm" .. My "Gigatron" iphone app is where i found out about the show (on the night of like an hour before it started!) it was listred there as "Umphrey's Mcgee" so you could imagine my shock to see so few people aware of who was actually playing, and the Roxy's marquee read " North Indiana, & Ohmphrey " whom I knew nothing of, although "Ohmphrey" as a name was deffinatley enough of a giveaway for me not to be shy when handing over my sixteen bucks to see if said mystery band was in fact Mr.Mcgee's umphrey! I was Shocked awed blown away, and amazed! I am so lucky to have seen this show for as mere 16 buckaroonies! Thanks To NIAS's Ohmphrey, umphrey ohm or who ever you say you are =)

"4Track" iphone/itouch Multitrack Recording App is Sick! My post to "Sonoma Wire Works" Facebook wall... (Review of a GREAT app for musicians)


WOW your app has changed my life! thank you! Now I can instantly record my song ideas and turn them into studio quality .wav files, whilst I'm noodling out ideas on my acoustic guitar (did I mention Instantly!!!on the spot! Zero delay between idea and .wav file!!!)) then very simply I wifi the files to my desktop computer, drag them into Cubase, and finish the job (wet up track add soft synths, etc.) if you dont have it... Buy this app! itouch owners just need the ear buds with the microphone, they work great (That's what i use) The future has arrived, and "Sonoma wire works" are doing a fine job helping to drum it in!!! Now, in the next BIG update we need more of those AmaZing drum metronome loops! And how about a simple drum programmer in 2.5! wishful thinking... The app "4Track" is AWESOME just the way it is, VERY well thought out, & way worth every penny and then some! did I mention it's sooo inexpensive! Thanks again!

Reality only exists cause we say so...

Preface:
I'm writing this quick preface to this entry 2 nights after I originally wrote it because I wanted to let everyone know the reason for most of the typos and grammer issues are due to the fact that I wrote this text message style from my free unlimited boost phones message center. I think I'll add a little signiture to those sort of posts from now on. Thank you so much for reading.

Things are always hard, is that not the point? Are we not here to learn? Is learning ever easy? Why do I let frustration effect my practice? I Want "it" now; that's why!

We couldnt plearn a new language instantly with marginal effort, why expect any different from spirituality? Maybe all the "burning bushes" were just that; burning, even the mist raging fire cools down, right?
Why allow frustration to stifle your personal goals? How petty it all seems. You're givin a gift then you want more , does it ever stop? Do you really want to be 70 years old and still concerned with who has more stuff and how you can stockpile more for yourself? Rupert murdock, Dick Cheney; do you suspect these men are ever satisfied / at peace ? We don't need to rally for the next liberal candidate we need to focus on transforming ourselves and our fellow brothers/sisters through the heart with love peace and the realization of ONE. Reality only exists cause we say it does! Dig That!

Politics are more make-beleive than Hans Christian Anderson! So let's collectively forget any of it ever existed & maybe it won't.

One love and light to and from the creator,
