Hey its so nice to hear such an uplifting story even while we all trudge
through this virus.
I don’t know if you remember my name is mIchael, and I use to chime in here on
this list, and still do.
In fact I now am part of DD, and offer tech support, and am still working quite
strong on softwares such as amplitude, and Logic Pro on the Mac.
Hearing your story really made my day, just wanted to let you know.
I totally agree with you, that in life we must all be strong, and as a team
must all be strong in times such as these, that an off topic social message is
definitely welcome.
Keep in touch, and good luck with your band.
Best

I know this list is not for socializing, but I am going to write this one
post. Jack Conti, I do remember your name as well, as I also remember Chris
Smart. Some of the other big boys I recall are, and I’m not going to spell
these write I’m sure, Phil Muir, DJX, Brian Smart, Kevin Gibbs, Jeff
Carlisle, Omer, etc. I use to enjoy reading about their thoughts and quick
fixes for those of us who were fumbling around with Sonar and accessibility.
In regards to the Doobies, I saw them 2 years ago at an old “hall” here in
Jackson, MS—I think 3 of them were from the original group. In that hall
they sounded awesome and sounded just like their old vinyls. Even though my
current genre is country and classic rock, I went to see KISS in Birmingham
last year. Oh my gosh! Gene and Paul still have it, even though I have
heard that some tracks were being played during the tour. I am writing this
to tell you that I videoed with my iPhone many many songs that turned out
reasonably well, considering I can’t see a thing. Paul zip lined from way up
and landed on a platform not far from me. My wife had to guide my phone to
where he was. I didn’t know what she was doing. It wasn’t until after the
concert that I learned what had happened during the show. But being blind
didn’t hinder me from visualizing from what I heard and what I was told, thus
recreating the concert’s special effects and events. That night put a new
spark in me to continue my music—performing and recording. If Paul and Gene
can do it at their ages, then so can I. So my band is back decently strong,
and I will be recording demos of us in the future.
Thanks, guys, for listening. I am here at home for a while, not sick, but
just distancing. We all may be sharing things to one another to pass away
the time. Like I said, this list is not for that purpose, but I just wanted
to share why I have returned. Thanks again, S.
