In college I was making an animated film using GI-Joes as musicians. It was so difficult syncing the action to the music that I said to myself, "It would be easier to learn to play a real instrument than doing this!" So I bought a Harmony electric guitar for $30 and immediately embraced the joys of feedback and distortion. I soon discovered that amateur guitarists are a penny a dozen, so I bought a bass, then drums and finally a synth and a four track recorder to increase my desirability in the eyes of better musicians.After over 2 decades of slugging it out with countless rehearsals, auditions, band breakups and lousy gigs, I'd had enough. Then I met this wonderful woman who got me out of the bars and into the church. She later became my wife and the dive bar gigs have become a thing of the past and all the music I do now is dedicated to the glory of God.The last chapter of the story was when I met this strange little Japanese woman who gave me a Sony sample CD when she heard I used to do some recording. I checked it out and within an hour I discovered the wonder of modern looping technology! When my church recorded an in-house CD the same year I made quick friends of the engineer who showed me that it was possible to record professional quality songs with a very limited budget and it's been full speed ahead ever since. ............................................................
