Inspiration

A winter wonderland in Portland. It doesn't snow too much around here, so this is a real treat for anyone who doesn't have to get out and deal with it. Today's a holiday, so it's not too bad. On a more musical note. . .Mark lent me the Roland VS-1680, a digital 16 track recorder when I was in Loomis last week. Mark has converted his studio to Sonar, so the Roland was just sitting around on his shelf not being used. It will provide me with a way to do higher quality demos. There are some things I've written for my wife which I've never put on tape. Given the state of my short-term-memory, this is risky. I haven't been writing much over the last year. . .but I'm getting the itch again. I hope the machine inspires me. I may be wrong, but I got the impression that Mark lent it to me so I would write more. I appreciate that.
