  • Now Available! Sheet music

    As many of you know, I love to write out my songs and others in MuseScore. Earlier this month in a video, I said I was going to publish the scores for people to download.

    I’ve started doing this and you can find it along the top menu under “Sheet Music”. It’s currently only two songs, but as I get more of them done, I will share them. My goal is by the middle of 2020 to have my current songs done in this format for all to enjoy and learn!

  • How’s Your Summer starting off?

    Hey! How are you doing? I haven’t been posting on here for a bit, so I thought I’d ask how things are going? I’ve been steady with the videos on YouTube, but I haven’t been doing the follow up on my main site.

    What’s Coming up?

    I thought I’d give you an idea of what is coming up:

    • Music, recording always recording! That’s why I changed the name!
    • I try a game that I haven’t been able to get working on my computer.
    • I found another use for my Zoom H4!
    • More discussions about recording devices!

    Hope you keep checking us out! Talk to you soon!
