https://www.reverbnation.com/artwhimsicallyyoursstudioIt’s a curse that wears me down even now as I sit here and sing Age is a vicious fiend you know It steals everything…… And my mirrors are lie detectors Revealing all that I deny Graying hair and wrinkle reflectors till the day I die…… But I’m not old yet…. I still have songs that I must write Between my newest friend called “Pain,” in the wee hours of the night. Till my arthritic hands discover that my fingers are too stiff To bend the strings and tightly cover what I used to call a riff…….. The classics are Jurassic they’re all retiring And what’s even far more tragic is they’ll have no new songs to sing…. It’s a curse that cannot be reversed we are all meant to get old Cause there’s young musicians in the wings[/align] who have stories they want told. And the best that you can hope for as you fade away to dust is to leave behind a legacy full of songs that others must continue to listen to while they sit there missing you. Even as the fiend that they call age is making them blue too we all gotta pay our dues….. In extra wide memory foam shoes. Former dancers stuck with walkers trying to flee from death the stalker former rockers with no offers filling rocking chairs as paupers None of us get to choose all that we lose in the debut of the aging we’ll all go through…… Art~Whimsically Yours Studio Matthew F.

Focus not on the 'curse' but the 'blessing' of continued acuity, such as it is, and the possibilities, endless, infinite, for new perspectives on a Song Lyric, a new protagonist to go on the journey, a new stranger to come to town, the Singer-Character, the Love-Interest Character, the Unreliable Narrator, the Ghost in the Machine, the mystery, the mistake, the beginning, the muddle, and the end.
Paul McCartney said, "I wrote all my good Songs back with the Beatles," implying he did not expect to write anything 'great' any more. I disagree. I think there will always be another Song to be written. Despite thousands of years of Songwriting the possibilities have not been exhausted. Someone will write a great new Song. (Maybe. Some day.) And it will reach wide acclaim, not mere 'bubble gum' or 'soup du jour' acclaim, but acclaim that will make it a classic, Jurassic in its own time.
So, why couldn't Paul be the one to write it? Or you? Or me? Or any unknown kid or adult who sits down one day to put in 'fixed form' some Lyrical idea and Melodic inspiration in his or her head that the rest of the world recognizes as entertaining?
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

Hi Matt:
Using only a Tascam DR (I'm guessing hand-held) would be difficult in most recording scenarios. Do you transport the final "cut" into a computer for final editing... or is there even more to your process? Eventually, you have to end up with a WAV or MP3 file (or both) and put a copy on a Thumb Drive or other media. Many people use an eight or sixteen track (some even more) for recording and then "mix down" the tracks including vocal track onto a final version. I won't stray into the subject of "mastering" because it seems to be more art than science... and I don't record that way.
That German Guitar sounds like a real find... and you certainly got a good deal.
Regretfully, I don't post many songs here these days but if you will delve past the first page... I'm guessing on maybe page three you will find what I consider to be one of my signature songs... performed by the demo artist I suggested. The name of the song: "I Remember Autumn" and I sent my version of the song to the demo artist so he could get a general idea of why I needed a better vocal. At last count, it had more than 12,000 "plays" here at JPF.
After you've found it and listened, send me a PM (personal message) and I'll provide you with more details.
I do have a song posted today called, "I Lost My Love in Lodi." Regretfully, that's my vocal.
All the best, ----Dave
