I Live In A Material World

[Walter Tore]

Dick Deluxe, who posts on the blindmans blues forum brings up some cool topics for thought. I started out in NJ in the 70's and the music was real hard. I loved it and when I started playing bars I thought it was blues, but it was more punk than anything. So, all these years go by and Dick brings this up. During this month I have been recording at least 28 cds for the RPM CHallenge (at 26 right now). The cool thing about this is I have been doing very little to no mastering and messing with mic placements, mic/preamp combos, etc. One thing I also started doing was putting a thumbpick on. I play bare fingered. So, all of of a sudden I am getting this driving beat on the bass strings. It instantly reminded me of my roots. I never knew how those guitar players got that sound and now realize you can't get it without some kind of pick. Thanks Dick! Here is a song dedicated to Dick:

Thanks for listening Ciro! That song is getting more in my life everday. I hate all this technology that is supposed to make your life easier, yet stresses you out to no end dealing with it. I could not comprehend having a job that demanded one to keep up with all this crap. Walter

Wait, and playing 3-4 instruments at the same time like in that video is a cakewalk though?! Haha, great stuff though!

Yeah Man its easy, as long as I don't think. Then it all gets scrambled instantly. Now, the technology thing...... I was born before home computers, video games, etc. I bought my first computer 4 years ago for recording, and a cell phone last year. That is as far as I go. I am the hands on type. THanks! Walter
