Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Life Long Sound Track

Our Behringer mixer....how we record today
Recording, recording, recording!  It's all I seem to think about!  Since a very young age, that's absolutely true.

I remember as a kid, in the basement of my parents' home....my brother Jim and I would jam, and I couldn't wait for the day to hear how it sounded.

At one point in time, my brother Bob made a recording device out of a portable record player....amazing!  But my most special moment was when I got one of those little reel-to-reel recorders (like the old "Mission Impossible" portables) and was able to finally get an earfull.

What I heard wasn't bad.

When the cassette recorders came into being, I was really pleased.  Then I was able to experiment with things like overdubbing.

Even after I was on my own, I tried recording things....even if it was just singing to an instrumental and recording with a small hand-held cassette.

So now, when we have a studio in our home, I'm really in my element!  And boy, am I happy!

For today, Fifty Five Is The New
