If you guys have ever talked to Bill on the phone, you know he is a great
guy, and I doubt that especially in these days and times, with all that is
going on, he likely doesn't mind if we talk about happier things like the
Dooby Brothers or Chicago, or anything we have in common concerning music.
For me, I would love to hear about projects folks are working on, and in the
course of all these things, encouragement is never a bad thing for
individuals, or this list.
Thanks,
Jay Pilkington

Subject: [ddots-l] Hello from MS again
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.
