Quote of the day: "Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose--and you allow him to make war at pleasure." --Abraham Lincoln

Here is my first original song:
Ana (1.5MB, MPEG Layer 3 compression @
96kbps)
Ana was recorded using the PS02 internal microphone and my Lignatone
acoustic guitar made in Czechoslovakia in 1968 ($20 at a yard sale). I'm not
satisfied with the guitar sound--I think an acoustic/electric guitar would
sound better because the volume level on the microphone was too low, resulting
in some hiss (not to mention that a higher quality guitar would sound
better--my acoustic is a parlor size which means less volume, bass, and
projection). Also my fingerpicking could have been better, but after about 25
takes my patience was wearing thin... :-)
