The day after I post a video is the crucial make or break juncture to delete or not to.... And all too often, an upload bites the dust with a private funeral of sorts, that leaves no remains. But with my new iMac 21 having joined the family, video trashing has gone public. Through paper… Continue reading Blog favorite revival time.. THE MORNING AFTER YOU TUBING (with added color)

Chopin Waltz in Ab Major, Op. 69 No. 1–considerations of mics, recording conditions, and tempo, with performance comparisons

arioso7: Shirley Kirsten

First, I have to admit that my prized Yeti mic suffered yet another break-down. "Break" is to be emphasized. I tripped over the wire on the way to Haddy Haddorff, and the sensitive connector from iMac's USB port to the mic itself was altered. Yeti wouldn't register on "Preferences" as an external no matter how… Continue reading Chopin Waltz in Ab Major, Op. 69 No. 1–considerations of mics, recording conditions, and tempo, with performance comparisons

So now, enter the piano, as a feast of delights waiting for the player to partake without a hint of holding back. It seems like… Continue reading Playing piano and getting into the spirit (Video with Aiden cat joining in)
