Learning my new DAW. I became a beta tester for an upcoming new version of this DAW (thanks Miami Mike!). I liked it so much that I had to buy it. This one is made for musicians. You don't have to be an engineer to easily use it. 8)

Checking email and social media stuff. I may or may not go for a walk later. Yesterday was too damned cold to deal with it. I do have to go to the store, as well.

Sounds good. 8) I used to record ideas with an old school Tascam 8-track, but something is wrong with the tape player, where it kept stopping, so I haven't been able to use it for a few years now. I don't even remember most of what I recorded, although I did write the chord progressions down for each idea. Maybe someday I can get it working again, who knows? :roll:

It would be nice to have that 8 track, Paul. I never used one but I remember that they're pretty nice. I bet it would be fun to hear what you recorded.

I'm sitting in a waiting room. My doc is running an hour late. Nice how they have patients arrive 15 minutes early. Grrr...

Find anything good to watch? 600 channels and nothing to see. :P

That's very often the case. It wasn’t always that way, Paul.

True that the industry has jumped leaps and bounds with technology and slick productions; but, that’s been good and bad. It used to be said that video recording killed TV. Live entertainment became talk shows and rip and read news. Reruns became an easy out. Today we even have channels that buy and show very few programs set on repeat. Channels that run the same shows simultaneously, Networks that buy old programming and shuffle those shows amongst their affiliates, and the hits just keep coming - only if they’re not the same they are made to look the same. Add a major writer’s strike, take Mod Squad scripts, make it Charlie’s Angels, run free home videos and today we have HD reality scripted reality shows. Colorize B&W shows, and make old stories late breaking news. Well, that’s a good start why there’s often nothing on TV.

In ye olden days, we might have 3 or 4 or, depending on your birthday, a few dozen stations instead of hundreds or even thousands. Just think how swell today’s channels would be if we downsized, and only put on first run good shows. Naw! That would never work. :roll:
Haven’t gotten past Mrs. FSB’s channel surfing. She likes a show called Caraoke which is like Cash Cab with a Vegas karaoke twist. Not a block buster; but, interesting and good for a light laugh. They added a CTV Sci-Fi channel that has Mission Impossible, Twilight Zone and the like. Looks promising. Hi-Fi is a channel that I used to have and do again. Hi-Fi has a variety of music related programs, like guitar documentaries, and right now I’m watching a well known current British Night talk program The Graham Norton Show with top caliber guests who really take to the host. An English Grammy Euro rock star Duo Lipa is on stage, and then there’s Jennifer Anniston, but I can’t remember the other guests or host. :lol: Hi-Fi sadly, also likes repeats; but, some real good stuff, like the documentary Bobby Rush: I Am The Blues, if you weed out the bleh!

More movie channels. Four channels with movies by decades, and you know you’ve watched two many movies when you’ve seen most of them.

There’s always another solution though, because, with so so or past shows on the big expensive bundled channels, it’s nice to throw more change at Pay TV. :wink:

Well, that Hi-Fi channel sounds pretty good, considering. There used to be around here a channel or two that would show documentaries in that genre and other stuff, but it's gone now, unfortunately. I really don't watch that much TV anymore, except for a couple of programs on PBS, like travel or cooking stuff, and I'll watch a couple of movies here and there. I do watch "The Walking Dead," but I've followed it from the beginning, so I might as well stick with it, even though it kind of jumped the shark a bit. :P It's probably not going to be on too much longer, anyway, but who knows?

My dog got me up at 4:20am so I've already had my morning coffee, breakfast and Strat time. I feel like learning a new song so I downloaded the Guitar Pro file for, "Every Breath You Take". I'll be working on it.

4:20? Did your dog want to want to light one up? :P That's a great song to play. 8)

Yes, she lit one up in the backyard. That's better than in my bedroom. :lol: It is a great song to play. Funny thing, I downloaded two different versions of the GP file and one reads "let ring" and the other reads "palm mute". The way I remember the song is with palm muting so that's the way I'm playing it. :)

Up early again, 2am today. Some kids rang my doorbell and ran. When I went to the door, I saw my neighbor (retired Navy SEAL) looking for them. If anyone can find them it will be him. Lord have mercy on their souls. :lol:
