I'm 30!!! very old and have changed my music setup in the final attempt to sound any good. Ugh now I have another bunch of manuals to read doh so it will be another year before I can use any of it !!

Old Vex.

Yeah, right. I keep staring at my roomful of stuff and thinking I need to just sell it all and get a laptop. But with a laptop you can't have four or five friends all playing a different toy at once. So then I think I ought to sell all my synthesizers (anybody need an SP-808?) and buy more acoustic instruments like drums (I may buy a set of those anyway) but then I'd miss all the cool noises I can make with my electronic toys. It's a curse, I tell you. A curse! BTW, I'm 38 and I probably feel less old than I did when I was 28. Unfortunately I now live in a city that is nothing but old people. Even the young people act old. They sit, quietly and gossip viciously. They get really dressed up to go to any bar or on any kind of "date." They think Crackerbarrel is good food. They don't dance. Somebody please get me out of here! ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________
