You sound like a platypus to me... :p

Definitely southern, though, mhm.

When do you think we could hear (download/purchase?) some of the other songs you've written and performed? And... could you throw up the lyrics somewhere? :D

Hopefully soon I'll have more up soon. And it will all be free online and maybe a buck or 2 above my CD cost for the hard stuff.

The project is managed here at the Cakewalk forums: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1677634 The "band" is the Freelance Rider Company with me as Alan parsons with a hat and so far about 3 or 4 contributers (wait until you hear the female lead's voice.. she's working on a waltz of mine right now).

I plan to reactivate my website soon and start providing more info, including lyrics. I may even create another blog for music efforts...

Hang tight!

This is where I really wish we had a bloody 'thanks' button in here :D

Thanks, Tex!

Well, this little Off Topic venture doesn't contribute to anything Maemo-related... although maybe I could do a theme song... :D

If you were to write a half-decent theme song for maemo... that would be so awesome :D

It could be an epic story, we already have plenty of characters for a tale ;)

It would be even awesomer if we could get the mascot to dance to the theme song.

it could be bigger than hamster dancing!

hey TenSpeed-- I've been torturing guitars for many years without getting past certain barriers to understanding the mechanics (keys, chords, progressions, etc). But today I played with my handy chord wheel and actually had a few epiphanies-- in other words, this old dog is finally learning some important tricks! I think I'm getting this!
