Well guess what??? I took that much talked about "leap of fatih". Actually lots of skillful planning involved, too. I have been spending a lot of time the past few months at SAE (School of Audio Engineering), in Manhattan as a FULL-TIME student (You would think that the school OWNS me). Maybe if we're all fortunate enough, it'll be "One of These Days" :0). That's not a goal, to be on staff there. Yet it is the back of my mind lurking in the shadows behind my medulla oblongata, somewhere aside all the neurons blasting across to the other side of a wonderfully constructed, synaptic gap!!! Um SoooOOOooo... About that leap of faith, I must say that in order to devote more time to my recent turn-key business I have switched to part-time hours at SAE and full-time hours at SoundHill Recording studios where I will also be teaching music lessons as well as RECORDING in the upcoming years. Recording is a noble art form in itself. It takes time to get the results you want and I don't believe in quick results. Change will be slower than anything in a Darwinian sense. And I believe that "Quitting The Day Job" is just a figure of speech. When one is truly passionate about what one does...It is not a "Job" and you cannot even leave it "Day" or Night for that matter. Not even if you tried. One suffers at the very least the rigors of her/his own expectations. Immobility, Cramps, Headaches, Stiff Neck, Strained Eyesight, Arthritis, Tendonitis, long hours, etc, etc... I do not attempt to know everything, yet I continually learn. I can make do within the bounds of human limitations. And I do like to stay impressionable, it's part of my religious training. I attended private religious school at Freed-Hardeman, located in West Tennessee, that is before I graduated from U.N.F. in Psychology. I still care much for scholarly discussion and I have always had much of the Southern Gentleman about me. Likewise, I was also inspired at CUNY as a 3000 level Music Major and wrote one of most beautiful Clifford Brown arrangements that you have ever heard. My goals are musical...so of course, attentive listening was a prerequisite! Always should be!!! I want to hear from you. My training has been ultimately profitable and that it is to say ultimately meaningful. Hope I hear from you sometime soon... Bye for now!!!!!!

My own writings have been influenced by hours and hours of attentive listening to 19th century literature and music. It has provided the Zeitgeist that informs my work
HOLIDAYS SEEM TO HURRY HERE
Holidays seem to hurry here.
Tall shadows clear the evergreens
There's eggnog by warming embers
And we make it more welcoming
Holidays seem to hurry here
The oak as it smolders and lulls
Dreamers to sleep, soon disappears
And light is held in icicles
And you must always know
Holidays seem to hurry here
When you hold me like so
Holidays seem to hurry here
Holidays seem to hurry here
And so we too precious and few
Keep returning year after year
Holidays seem to hurry here.
Amici miei, c'è bisogno di un grande impegno per mantenere qualsiasi amicizia.
E io posso delinearne i movimenti in ogni parte della giornata.
E' radicata nella memoria, alimentata nella speranza, e si trasforma con la luce del sole. Sarà sempre così. Sia che siamo qua sia che siamo laggiù questo mondo è attraversato dall'intenso rosso del crepuscolo fino all'intenso rosso dell'alba. Ed era già così prima che noi avessimo pronunciato la parola AMICIZIA. E' il primo forte grido della nascita e il calore e l'essere cullati tra le braccia della propria mamma. E' l'alternarsi di qua e di là dell'estate, dell'autunno, del'inverno e della primavera verso mete sconosciute ma trionfanti.
E forse è qualcosa che abbiamo sempre sentito in ogni battito e contrazione dei nostri cuori. Anche quando la natura è e rimane sempre totalmente immemore davanti alla pura verità e semplicità del respiro che ci solleva i polmoni. E non c'è altro per noi stessi che questo: che dovremmo costriurci su...Non c'è maggior distanza che un corridore possa comprendere. Un'amicizia deve essere molte cose. E così deve essere come il suono e il tocco di un amante su una spalla tremante. Noi abbiamo solo la capacità di immaginare che potrebbe essere lo stesso con la natura in ogni goccia di rugiada che cade, o con il piegarsi del bulbo pesante di un fiore.
La natura non sa nulla. Amici miei,
....Coltivate la fede (siate forti ovunque voi siate) -j.m.m.
My friends, there is a neccesary quality that is held throughought every friendship. And I can trace its movement throughought every day. It is rooted in memory, nourished in hope, and turns with the sunlight. It will always be this way. Whether we are here or yonder this world is replenished from crimson dusk to crimson dawn. And it was this way before we could even speak a word of friendship. It is the first, great cry of birth and warmth and cradle of your mother's arms. It is Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring rolling hither and forward to some unknown but very triumphant destination. And perhaps it is something we have always felt with each pulsing contraction and expansion of our hearts. Even when nature has and always will remain totally oblivious to the plain truth of our breath heaving in our lungs. And there is no more for ourselves, than this: that we should build ourselves up. There is no greater distance a runner can encompass. A friendship must be many things. And so it must be like the sound and touch of a lover upon trembling skin. Only we have the capacity to imagine that it must be the same with Nature in every droplet of dew, bulbous and heavy beneath a bending flower. Nature knows nothing. My friends,
....Cultiivate the faith (stay cool wherever you are) -j.m.m.
Thanks for the compliment, Im just a begginner so its comin along. I have a few videos on youtube, if you search under supermedic25 there should be 4 of them up. Let me know what you think. Im self taught so right now Im at a stand still as far as progression goes. Kind of need some help LOL, glad the babies are doing well. They grow up so fast!
I understand that it's never been necessary, but that being happy has been your personal choice, your responsibility to yourself and the world. It comes from dedication. It's unvaryingly there. Always. Of course things like LOVE, MUSIC and DANCING always go well with your established DEDICATION, too. So at least let me help you with the MUSIC part of that. My rig is portable and I will certainly carry it to your next concert, performance hall, or rehearsal, free of charge...It's on me!
Happiness is a free tutorial!!!!!!!!..updated to Waves ver. 7.0.0. license from a 6.1.1 today! The official release was announced just yesterday. The servers were slammed and it crashed for an hour. Updates on my plan are good till 2010. Waves Mercury Bundle is one of THE BEST IN THIS WORLD!
At the end of the following video, the Waves Plug-ins were removed from the channel because once the sound is processed and actually becomes an audio file, it is thereafter, unecessary. If one left the Plug-ins directly in the Channel it would tend to eat up a lot of valuable system resources. Resources that could be used, of course, for other sounds.
Hi Nice to meet you Jeremy. what beautiful name have you! Thank of the request, I'm interesting to the same things you wrote I'm agree with you about friendship...If only it were true and praticable...
