The band I write and play bass for, Tuesday Sun, is FINALLY back in action! After almost a year of no performances… Saturday, January 19th, 2008 at 7:00pm - we’ll be playing at Higher Grounds in Hernando, MS. Come check us out with our new vocalists Char Dunbar and Barry Delk. Visit the band website at www.TuesdaySun.com for more details… On behalf of the entire band, we really look forward to getting out there with you again, doing what we love to do!
Someone very special to me has asked me when I’m going to update my blog - that I’ve not made any new blog entries in quite some time. So here - this post is for you. Doesn’t say much. But it’s yours.
Kind of like that Elton John song - “Your Song.” “And you can tell everybody that this is your song. It might be quite simple, but…”
:) Have a nice day.
I’ve been reading The Christian in Complete Armour, a 3 volume set by Puritan William Gurnall from the mid-1600s. So far, this is some of the best reading I’ve come across in the field of Christian study. This set is available from Banner of Truth. With so much wishy-washy Christian literature out there, it’s great to come across a gem like this. Though geared toward a male audience, the material within is excellent study for anyone who wants to grow deeper and stronger in their walk. It’s a bit heavy for small group discussions (if you are a part of a small group Bible study) but something you might recommend each member of your small group read on their own for personal spiritual development.
In December of 2005, I “made the switch.” Just before the release of the Intel Macs, I purchased an iBook G4. I really thought at the time that I’d continue using my Windows machine along with my Apple. I was blown away by the power and end user simplicity of Mac OS X and also very surprised that everything I was doing on my Windows machines really was compatible with the Mac. I still use the same programs - Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Microsoft Office, Illustrator, iTunes, etc. And all my files created on the Windows machine really are compatible and work great on the Mac.
I found myself using the Windows machine much less often than I had asssumed. There was one exception… I use Swish for simple Flash designs - it’s an .swf file creator (competitor to Macromedia Flash) available only on Windows. That was my one reason to fire up the Windows machine. Then came the Intel Macs. I’ll eventually be purchasing an Intel Mac so I can run Swish with my Mac and have one computer serving all my needs.
So I’m just passing this along to anyone considering making the switch… it was the best personal tech decision I’ve made in a long time! Visit your local Apple store and bring your files with you that you created with your Windows machine. Test drive the new Macs - whether you are a power user, a developer, or a casual user, I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
I am just getting started in the recording of a new CD which I plan on calling “Fast Times Pass So Quickly.” Half of the songs on this CD will be songs I wrote for my band, Tuesday Sun. The other half will be songs which I wrote that don’t really fit our band’s style so I have invited guest artists to come in and lend their talents. I’m planning on an early-mid 2007 release.
