I'm still here, but not spending as much time responding as I used to.

February and March are the two busiest months for my duo http://www.s-cats.com and we have been doing a lot of gigging - thankfully because the summer "dry season" is coming too soon.

I'm also working on converting Korg PA80 styles into BiaB format. The first volume http://www.nortonmusic.com/style18.html has received rave reviews and people tell me the free MIDI intros and endings work well in RealBand. So most of my spare time has been devoted to volume 2 of that project.

In addition, I still put an hour per day on the guitar. It's my 7th instrument and I've only been playing it a little over a year now. I'm doing very well for the amount of time I've put on it (thanks to the theory from previous instruments and fretboard knowledge from playing bass), and can bang out a decent rock/country/blues lead. My head knows where to go, but my fingers are still a little sloppy when things get fast, and the only way to overcome that is to practice.

So this old timer is still here, I check the board daily, but until I get a bit more time, I won't be responding as much as I used to.
