What's Your Musical Style?: Jazz/Rock Fusion - Every progresion needs a diminished chord and I hate to stay in one key for too long.

What Instrument(s) Do You Play?: Several guitars - mostly cobbled together. I really love Parkers

At 12:16pm on May 29, 2008, Paul Marossy said…: I listened to your new tunes. I like the jazzy sounding ones the best. They all have some nice guitar moments.

Listening to them, the first thing I thought of was the limitations of cassette tapes in those 4-track recorders. It used to frustate me to no end - the noise and lack of dynamic range couldn't quite capture the subtleties and nuances of my playing. Everything also somehow sounds squished after the 4-track got done with it. Anyhow, thank goodness digital recording came along and banished all that stuff! LOL

That stuff also sounded somewhat like stuff I was trying to do around 93-94.

At 6:50am on May 26, 2008, Paul Marossy said…: Cool, well keep 'em coming, if the inspiration strikes. :-)

At 8:49pm on May 25, 2008, Paul Marossy said…: I like your new tune, very soulful playing. :-)

At 8:55am on January 21, 2008, Paul Marossy said…: I went thru a similar process. I was heavily involved in two different worship teams during the span of about five years. I think a lot of it was just me tripping on myself, though. Anyhow, I put the guitar down once or twice, but I never stopped playing altogether. Almost but not quite.

At 6:50am on January 21, 2008, Paul Marossy said…: Ah, now I know who you are. Cool, glad you joined in!

I look forward to hearing your tunes. You took a long break from recording, I thought I took a long break at six years, but you've got me beat.

Anyhow, I think this will indeed be an interesting place. I really enjoy the conversations that are happening here so far.

At 9:51pm on January 20, 2008, Mike McCardle (aka Mojotron) said…: Thanks Paul. I love Star Trek pictures - I really loved the original series - probably shaped american culture as much as anythning else.

I put this picture on my wife's digital picture frame too - along with pictures of the kids on the baech, our dogs... - once in a while that one pops up and it's fun to watch people's reactions.

I have started recording again, after a 15 year break: I'm looking forward to sharing these songs with others. Some songs are written, some songs have been resurrected off of 4-track tape, others I'm writing as I lay down the tracks. It will be interesting to see what comes out. I just need to get a decent sound card with a p/pdif input and I will have all of the HW I need.

Time is always tight, but I'll eventually finish some of these projects up this winter.

This should be an intersting site - Thanks!

I love your picture. I was a trekkie in the 70s. Mr. Spock was one of my favs. ;-)
