At long last, a new recording!!!
-As usual, it is unfinished. There are 8 tracks on it right now, and still needs: 3 percussion tracks, one or two Synth tracks, a Bass Guitar Line, at least two Guitar tracks, two or three violin parts (to make it sound orchestrated) and a voice modulation track (provided I can get my hands on a voice modulator...)
It is imperfect, and unfinished, but it is what I am working on.
Right now, it DOES sound a bit repetitious, but I am hoping that changes as I add the other parts. -I hope you like where it's going!
I call it "Twilight".
(And, it has NOTHING to do with the movie, ok?)
;-)
Once Again, I apologize to my VOX Friends here, ESPECIALLY to my friends: Morningberryz AND Michelle!!!
-The GOOD news is that I have FINALLY cleaned and restrung my Stratocaster, and have allowed the strings a few dayz to "stretch".
My next step, is to tune, practice and retune before I begin to lay down tracs.
(-SERIOUS Musicians understand the processes involved here...)
For my dear Friends :Morningberryz AND Michelle: Thank you for your CONTINUED patience with me, and please TRUST that the end result WILL be worth the wait!!!! Thank you, my DEAR FRIENDS!!!!
:-)

A Top Five List Of Things You Could Do When Facebook Apps Aren't Working Right:
#1) Cuss Uselessly At Your Computer Screen, or Post Something COOL Here At VOX instead.
#2) Read A Book.
#3) Play Some Other Game On Your PC.
#4) Watch A Movie.
#5) Listen To One Song I Like And One Song I Created, While Wondering JUST WHEN IT IZ That Jim Will Post A New Recording Already!?!?!?!?!?

-Hang Tight, k?
-Sooooonnnnnnn Enough!
Enjoy These Two Songs! :-)
I Have To Work This Friday Night, So Any "Halloween Plans" Might Be Set For "Later" In The Night...
Therefore, I was doing a "Halloween Movie Marathon" This Weekend.
Hands Down, THIS IS What Should Have Been "Halloween 1".
-Then The Rest Of Them.
Rob Zombie's "Halloween II"???
-Eh.... I Didn't Care For The "Dream Sequences".
However, I DO Look Forward To Seeing This Year's Re-Make Of "Halloween III: Season Of The Witch".
My aptly-named babydoll was an absolute angel in the hands of these strangers!!!
She had blood drawn to make sure she didn't have lukemeia or kitty-aids. -She tested negative for all!!! :-)
The downside, was that she has two impacted teeth. (-No wonder she wouldn't eat her crunchies!!!) she is now taking antibiotics twice a day to heal the infection before we go have them extracted. -Then, we have to do another blood test to check the function of her internal organs, a series of vaccinations and then she will be just fine.
The surprising news also came from her teeth. -The Vet said, according to her teeth, my baby is actually a young lady aged around 9 years old.
:-) When he listened to her heart, he said "she is purring so much, it sounded like a Harley convention in her." lol
-That's my sweet, well-behaved girl!!!
What REALLY amazes me was how sweet she's been, even with the pain of two impacted teeth in her!!! Poor girl!!! -I had no idea she was hurting!!!
She will be feeling MUCH better after a couple days of antibiotics in her.
:-)
Thank you Jeanette!!! :-) read more
