Rudy, wasn't Brian Epstein also their manager?

I don't know who the keyboardist was, but George Martin was often referred to as the fifth Beatle. He also played Oboe earlier in his career. Some of his Oboe playing was used on a Beatles song, but because he was so far out of practice, they had to record a sample of each note of his playing and sp...

Okay Rudy, Ill bite. George Martin was the fifth Beatle.

An electric frying pan is also good for cooking roasts, so that new contraption that Rudy has is sure to be able to do them.

The thing with Mac's is that they were originally designed for sound and graphic work. That's why they are so good for it. PC's are following on the coat tails of Mac's when it comes to sound and graphics, because they were initially designed for business use. As time moves on, the devisions are mer...

Rudy, The unit below the keyboard is a SWR "WORKINGMANS ONE-SIXTY" bass amp. I use it with either one or two 15" speaker cabinets, depending on the size venue. If I need more power than 160 watts, then I figure that we should be using a full front of house P.A. There is no reason to s...

Notice that my extensive selection of mic's consist of one Shure SM58. One day I'll extend...

It's probably about time for me to jump into this thread. I'll start with a photo that was taken, while I was playing a pub gig in the early 90's http://i37.tinypic.com/2po4pd2.jpg I will post some pictures later, of the gear I use for recording at home now. For a small sample I have four tracks at ...

I'm not sure of the specifics of his system, though know that it is pretty basic. Small reservoir at th...

Well I managed to create all of the PDF's really quick and easy and assembled them into a file to email, but my normal email client (Microsoft Entourage) requires me to install Aladdin Stuffit software, which comes at a price. So I then tried attaching it to Opera's email client and had no problems ...

Rudy,
My macbook makes PDF files easily from Sharkey's new print friendly version. I've just made a PDF of the first page of the Blue Bird story which came out at 20 print pages. I'll convert the rest to PDF then email them to you in a couple of hours.
