When the light bulb goes on!

Izabella is HOME!

Back in '85 I went to this guitar shop in the northern suburbs of denver. On the wall was MY guitar...I felt it pulling me towards it...I just couldn't take my damn eyes off of it.
Being a young cat...16yrs old...I really had no duckets for this guitar...I mean $310!!! c'mon!

I think I have it figured out. MOre to come this week. I notice that the primary input Apple suggests for Garage Band, the one they sell on the Apple site ..... is the one you and I own. Hmmm.

Anyway, great to see you again and I feel ready for the next big push forward. ep

Chris,
The workshop was helpful in showing me that I was on the right track. Also, I realize I need to be more patient when creating music. I get impatient and settle for less than a perfect product.
