Wow, Southside Johnny- good for you and your band, Eddie! I'm a Jersey Shore kid and got to see The Jukes in the old days at the Stone Pony, when Bruce would get up and join them. Funny, I met a kid named Tony Pallagrosi at a music camp during HS who soon after became Mr. Lyon's trumpet player! Sadly, his bud, one of my sax idols, tenor player Carlo Novi passed away much too young.
We do the tribute aspect up right. We get introduced with New Jersey city names as our home town, the front man tells stories about the tour bus we (don't really) ride to the shows... I wear black Jersey themed t-shirts under my black overshirt... Our horn players dress in all black with sunglasses, and my role on keyboards is essentially to double and thicken what they do, so I don the black garb as well. Our singer sounds EXACTLY like Johnny and has for decades.
This is a demo done from an outdoor show in 2019 with a video collage over it. Including some drone shots.
Time to give you all what you have been waiting for before the year ends. Turns out there is always something new to give to a musicstudent who has everything. I shared my new EZBass Upright and Blue Street Horns. Both on my list for a long time. I have already made music with both of these, so no regrets.
And Now for the Full Reveal! Short Backstory: Some two and a half years ago I moved to a small lake house that I had build. A year after that I retired. But things have been anything by quite and I ended up with a new day job which included day-care for my four grandchildren. All through Covid shutdowns and home/remote schooling. Not what I expected. Of course, family is always a blessing, but as a result of the move and the family needs, I lost my home music studio. All packed away in the closet. But things continue to change and so as I enter the 2022, I am pleased to announce my modest home music studio is back! I have a couple pictures which I hope you enjoy.
I wish you all a great New Year with hopes that you and yours will all be happy and healthy.
Nice work assembling all of that. Particularly the workbench. I need to do a tray like that on mine. I have the M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 and it's a great controller. I thought your one guitar was a Duesenberg at first. I love them but they are too rich for my blood. That's a nice, comfortable room with decent carpet literally the same color as mine. In fact both of our rooms have the same color scheme.
You use all virtual instruments? I don't see a synth in there anywhere. Love the piano scale framed poster too. I have very little flat wall space or I would have a couple of things exactly like that.
How long was that plan in action to build that studio?

One and a half years while waiting for baby in crib to move out of the space to a big girl bed, it took me about 1 day to unload the closet, 3 days for some minor deliveries (monitor stands from sweetwater 1 day shipping) and then installation and pictures. Under a week!
You could have driven to Fort Wayne and made it zero day delivery. 4 hour drive for you. 3 hours for me. Hopefully they will have Gearfest this year and I will come out with my dog and little trailer for the day. Then maybe west to the Mississippi and see boat locks.
Looks great Dan! Glad you have it all up and running. Hey, what happened to the TC Helicon unit? Still use mine daily...rock solid. Haven't heard much from Ian in the last few years. I'll drop him a line and let you know.

Thanks for asking Jeff. Yes, the TC Helicon is still in the closet. It may reappear at some time. But here is my biggest problem right now. My aging gear is slowly dying before my eyes.
Right now my Right Monitor is making some bad noises and going in and out. I am pricing new audio monitors now. The FireHawk FX will not turn on! It is sad to see gear which served me well getting old in age and needing to be scarped! The monitors are the better part of 20 years old, but that Guitar rack is less than 10 years old.
It looks great. Lots to like with your setup. Easy to move from vocals, to guitar to DAW. It's been a year and I still don't have my setup like I want. Procrastination blues.
One suggestion, get a +++ pile carpet chair mat +++. It will help prevent your chair rollers from digging holes in your carpet.
Dan, Some of us will gladly take most of your existing musical goodies off your hands, to make room so that you can buy more and be happy again. Just helpin'
What he said. Please mail any unwanted gear to the PG offices attn Simon.

I have already promised to box up a bunch of old gear and send to a forum member. And I do plan on doing that some day....
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use
Dan, looks nice! Did you modify tray of that Husky, or just adjusted to fit the keyboard?
No modification, just adjustment.
The Keystation 61 is a perfect width and depth for the Huskey drawer. But the Huskey comes with Two sliding drawers, each about a inch high for laying your tools flat. I simply use the bottom drawer only and did not install the top draw to allow for the height of the keyboard. I use the extra draw as a shelf over in another corner of the room.
