Well, another hectic weekend trying to get some practice shoehorned in between taking wee ones to theater club & church choir, weekend shopping, visiting relatives, placating a PMT wife(!)etc.

Didn't manage to get any time to play with my new toy - an Akai 12 Track Digital Portastudio (got it off Ebay for a very good price). Have only managed a couple of sessions trying it out since I got it, but I think it will be more than capable for my needs. Also got a couple of mics & stands and a sack full of various leads for connecting everything up. May have to book a few days off work so I can have a really good session getting things sorted.

Will have to now start checking Ebay out for effects units & processors etc to add to my kit list! Just don't tell the wife!!

Fingers not aching quite so badly after this weekends piano practice sessions, however an hour on the 6 string elctro-acoustic has torn my fingers to shreds - can't wait until the skins toughened up again.

Planning on doing some woodwind work tonight (probably Sax) - at least until my lips fail!!!
