Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I was three months old. Since I no longer wear diapers and cry to be fed every hour or so, it seems very much has changed!

I was delivering Straw Hat Pizza in Santa Maria CA, in the company car, when I heard it come over AM radio. I was stunned because I had not heard that YES was up to anything. Not that I was real plugged in at that time. I was a fan already, but maybe not the fan of the 70s stuff I later became. I ...

Even without a Rick, I thought it was groovy man!

Thanks for the kind words!

I "typed" the drums into Sonar, ie, entered the notes in with the mouse in the staff view. They are midi, driving their proprietary drum module "Session Drummer". I know they aren't perfect, but my midi skills are almost zero. I also typed in the piano solo, which is ...

That was very cool!

I liked these songs. Vocally rich, very well recorded.

Thanks Ram. I don't know when I can get to it, but it's on my list.

I've been doing some Beatles songs to try to learn some of their songwriting and production techniques. This is not a perfect rendition, but you get to a point where you think you probably learned what you needed, and it's at that point for me. Here's a link:
