Quote of the day: "From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man--the function of his reasoning mind." --Ayn Rand

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... :-)
