This is why local main streets and shops are so important to keep alive.
Little music shop sold me this amazing 1992 Yamaha RY10 for less then $50 and threw in a really nice mic stand for only $20. On Amazon that gets you a stand that falls over under its own weight

Sometimes I picture my exes on a couch at 8:30pm on a weeknight watching reality tv while their husbands are drinking beer somewhere while I’m taking apart and fixing this old reel to reel machine in my studio.
Not sure if that makes me or them the losers here..

The pumpkin patch in my backyard is yielding wonderful carving pumpkins. It stretched beyond my fence and is crossing the sidewalk to the street now

After 6 years and 11 records I don’t think a 3 year break is bad. I’m not blocked, I just really need to mix and release what I finished last year. Must clear out space in noggin to hold new ideas

This upgrade means way lower latency recording and hopefully a good decade worth of music from this new machine.
Maybe I’ll give a little review if it turns into a game changer for my productions

The thing about Independence Day 2 that doesn’t make sense is that they put the big laser on the moon. So if I were an alien invading, I’d just attack earth from the other side of the earth.

Operator - the next album - will be totally computer/DAW-free. Everything will go through a mixer and be recorded direct to tape on this gem I found in an antique shop.
