Why I Am Not a Musician

Should any proof be needed, here are reasons #621 and #622 why I spin CDs and not make them myself.  These “experiments” date from about 1981 or so and came about during a 9 month period or so where I really tried to learn to play electric guitar.  I borrowed a friend’s drum machine and plugged it into a Radio Shack mixing board, running my Sears Silvertone guitar with a busted neck and 20 year old strings through a direct line.  Did I mention the guitar cable had a short, too?  :) I then listened 2 or 3 times to some of the drum machine defaults, paused a few moments then hit record.  Both of these “experiments” are take ones laid down on the spur of the moment w/o a real idea of what I was doing of where anything would go.  The first one almost works after a rocky start.  The second one is fairly embarrassing but has a good idea or two.  Just the result of one evening some 25 years ago…ah, youth.
