out w/ old...power tools CD...



had a funny revelation in the past few weeks...we are trying to sell our house, so had to clear all the extra stuff out....
realized that in my music room that my fostex mr8 and my philips cd recorder--i honestly hadn't recorded anything w/ them since
like 2009...granted that is partially b/c of busy life w/ kids growing up....but then realized....my little system of recording stuff on the
mr8, then dumping it to the cd recorder just seemed very "old tech"....especially since almost a yr ago i bought my little
tascam dr03...and i realized how easy it is w/ it to record stuff, listen to stuff ANYWHERE (it is so small!) and honestly to me
the sound is pretty good, and if i think stuff is good/decent i can easily  transfer it to my soundclick page....
i realize that the inexpensive cost of how most recording is done w/ computers/laptops pretty much made my gear from
early 00s seem pretty obsolete...i'm still not at the computer/laptop recording...but my little tascam is good enough for me...
things are certainly changing so fast....

yesterday i popped the power tools cd in the car, bill frisells' 80s power trio w/ melvin gibbs and ronald shannon jackson...
man that album is so so good. some great sounds, very aggressive at times....love the nuance of how BF uses the EH 16ddl....
just some great sounds....i originally had that album on VINYL, recorded to cassette-which is how i listened to it, then the cassette
i had broke (dang analog technology of the 80s!)....then in the mid 90s i found the CD for 1$, probably the best 1$ i've spent in my life...
still love that cd...
happy looping....
