not really.. my Band B.O.G. is playing out 4/5 nights a week now . In between that and teaching guitar plus still taking my classical guitar lessons.. I'm pretty full up.. Not on the computer but just a few minutes for sites... Usually I am using it for learning songs or getting students lessons printed and set up. I have been doing some writing but not much recording full on stuff..
Finally back to making enough money with music that I am no longer working any other kind of job other than just music stuff.
Summertime, most people are outdoors I hope.

Hey Greg,
Nice to hear from you, great that you have sorted yourself out financially, hope you are enjoying yourself, how are the gigs going, are they received well?
Any chance of doing a basic video so we can see you performing?
I assume you mean that you are learning classical guitar, would love to hear you play if you get a chance to record.
I'm off to Turkey for a week on the 10th August with the family, money is tight, but we all need a break, so what the hell I'm gonna enjoy myself, re-charge and get back on it when I get back.
Cheers

Hey Flyer & TG thanks for posting.
Hopefully some of us will have enough enthusiasm/time to start our Video collab, it's such a mammoth task, but will be awesome, one we can be proud of that's for sure. I need to get focused, organized, I'll have a few days free around my holiday in August, I must get my but into gear and make it happen. PX has done a shoot, I think he's the only one, and of course Marino has been working like a trooper as usual providing us backing tracks and tabs, we owe it to him to keep this project alive and for the community spirit.
Cheers all

I think it's something in the cosmos, there are certain times of the year that we get in that sort of can't be bothered routine, or it's basically telling us to CHILL OUT, which is what I've been doing a lot of hasten to add, plus got my holiday to Turkey to look forward to and a have a an over the top CHILL OUT.
Or the Cosmos slows down our brain cells and we just don't have the sparkle we normally have, I suppose even the cosmos has got to have a rest now and then...lol
Nice to see the usual faces logging on, I'm sure things will pick up around here, I'm getting used to it now he he
Cheers AMPERS

This summer is just has been a lag. Seems like work work work..... Havent had time to sit and meditate write or anything sometimes Ill have and occasional spurt of creativity and get on and post. I think for the most part I have been more focased on reading and listening to other Amper's work.
battlecat: IT was so wierd just now....Clint Eastwood's movie Joe Kidd is on in the background right as im reading that....Wow! lol
Denis,
I havent been neglecting Forever Together....I guess I have terrible writersblock. The music is too awesome. anything I write is never good enough for it. Im wondering how it would go over as a duet..???
let me know what you think about that.
Just drifting in and out,

You can't push creativity, or it will just come out plastic, no substance, feel, atmosphere etc. The one thing I have learnt is never stop practicing at what ever your art is. We all go through changes for what ever reason, sooner or later the creativeness returns and when it does you have to be prepared to bring out the best in us.
I've never doubted your passion for writing songs, in fact it shows that you have set standards, you will know when the time is right. So I say to you keep reading, listening, relax and let you creativeness unfold fueling your great imagination. Believe in yourself more and eliminate any inhibitions you may have floating around, I believe you will become a recognized songwriter one day, you have a great gift.
Yeah duet sounds wonderful.
Denis
strange...ive thought the amp has been more alive than ever. theres tons of new people signing up and posting songs and the lyrics review forum has gotten more traffic than ive ever seen in all my time here at bandamp!

Hey people!
I've been here in Australia the last five months so didn't have much chance to get stuck in front of a computer screen.
Anyway, I going back to Chile this Saturday.
I'd love to see the Blakhatz and Yokoinc again, but I don't have enough time. Greg, good luck with all your projects - Blakhatz, Elton Jack, Yokoinc - and say hello to the guys and your lovely wife. Hopefully we can meet again... who knows!
Well, hope all the bandampers are doing good, and let's bring this great website to life again cause, yeah, it's been pretty quiet since a long time.
BTW, what happened with that video project? Any chance to participate yet or not?
Regards

Nice to hear from ya

I'm still about too, but just don't feel in the mood after long days at work with a reasonable amount of pressure to get stuff done.
The band music (rehearsal and few gigs) takes time away from being personally creative too. But I do log in from time to time( a couple of times a week normally) just to keep up with what's occurring.
I may get more of a chance during August though, as my bass player is getting married on Saturday (we're doing 6 or 7 acoustic songs at the reception) and will be on his honeymoon in Sorrento for a couple of weeks, then the drummer goes away to Teneriffe for 3 weeks! I've had my holiday, so no time off for me
So "Hi" to all my fellow Bandampers - keep on grooving.
Cheers
