Nice sound Tony, I played bass in a band for 3-4 years during and after high school, and drums for a few bands here and there since those days. We recorded in a "real" studio once, and in a basement every other time. NOthing much to show for it except alot of gear that collects dust since all my band mates hurriedly moved away to Cali and Oregon. Both have had great success w/ music there, and have done very well for themselves. It has given me time to establish a family, and a name for myself in art.  Someday I will get back to an open mic night or something like that to finish that chapter of my life on my own terms.

Tony from Tulsa

That's cool, Rube. Anytime you feel like making a little demo and coming to Tulsa, I have a pretty nice little home studio upstairs. Best of all, it's free! Open invitation, too.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Junior

Sounds like a pretty good setup. I've heard Tony's results on line, too. It's an offer that's hard to refuse. If you two get together to make some music, ya gotta post it for us so we can enjoy the results, too.
