This is the first year in many that I did not overbuy during the holiday sales. Fact is, except for BIAB 2022, I bought nothing! Zero $! Could it be I finally have as many sound VST libraries as I can imagine to be able to use? Could I actually have all the hardware gear (recording and playing) that I can possibly make use of? Can I blame this on Kontack 13 which gave me more sounds than there is time in the day. Or perhaps it is Covid!!! Has anyone heard of any reported residual persisting symptoms that surpresses the need for more music stuff?
Maybe I just need to spend a little private time this christmas eve perusing the web in search of that one must have package that I can download by tomorrow morning.
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'

I am sure Eddie can recommend something in the "just got to have " category...lol
Also, there are people working 24/7 around the world doing their best to develop something you must have.
I have recently revisited some of my old toys, (custom tube amplifiers) that I have designed and built. Wonderful sounding equipment that I had almost forgotten from using the latest software modeling amps.
My only wish for Christmas is that everyone stays well and Covid free. My business partner and his two children called today to say they have tested positive. All are triple vaccinated. I just hope they will be OK.
Happy Holidays to everyone.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
My late Christmas present, purchased yesterday, just left Sweetwater via FedEx an hour ago and is due here tomorrow! Will have picutures before the New Year. Turns out, buying new musicstuff ain't that hard at all!

Hey Dan!
I grabbed this East Asia set for Kontakt at 25% off with their holiday coupon that is still available (so $75.) It has some awesome instruments with pro patterns and adjustable key and tempo. Sonme of their demos showed these used for modern hiphop tracks and they were an awesome addition!
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
Eddie I hope all 7 of them never get together at one place!

I went to the funeral of a friend of mine's ex-husband. She was sitting with a bunch of eight other women and everyone was getting along well. Finally one woman asked "honey, what number are you?" Here to find out they were all members of the "ex-wives club."
Eddie I hope all 7 of them never get together at one place!
The executor of my will has after life instructions and one of them is to have a memorial at a bar that books only bands who play at least half original music. She has a list of people to invite. Those 7 are invited. There is planned seating involved. They are all to be seated together at a table for 8. The empty chair is for me. At another table for 8 I have 7 women that I was, well, let's say "very close to" to avoid the asterisks of censorship. Again the 8th chair is for me.
This is kind of me saying "If only I could attend my own funeral JUST to listen to the conversation."
There are to be 5 songs played. 4 that I wrote and a cover of Sara MacLachlin's "Angel" done by an old flame to whom I no longer speak. The last song at the end of the service is my song "I Hope Somebody Cries".
If you knew my wicked sense of humor in person you would know that I live with my tongue very deeply embedded in my cheek and you'd get that this is one last comedy bit performed on behalf of the guy in the urn. I will go so far for a joke it's crazy. Brian Culbertson once had a shirt on during his Friday stream that was a frame from an animated video for his song Mile Sauce. I asked where I could buy one. He said a fan made it and it was a one-off. I went to that video, downloaded it, got the exact frame, screen dumped it it a file, and spent 40 bucks having a shirt made JUST to be able to send him a pic of me in that shirt with the comment "Now it's a two-off." THAT is how far I go for a joke.
