New Jam Weekend

I had the chance this weekend to visit a new friend who happens to have a basement studio, a drummer! We have been meaning to get together for a while, so Saturday I threw the guitars and bag-o-gizmos in the trunk and we headed over to Studio Jamie.

J has a diverse musical background, so it seemed we had a lot of common ground. Of course, playing just guitar and drums pretty much gave me free reign, so I took him through a few of my "hit" (cough) singles, like Toad, Road, and Fuma. I guess I'm pretty hard on drummers. Jeff used to whine about all the meter changes. Fortunately, Jamie has some jazz training, so he picked it up pretty fast.

Web notes: I guess you could call what you see here BitWorks 1.0 beta. There are a lot of minor fixes to be done. Last night I watched as a couple of friends surfed the site. Thrills! Horrors! It is especially helpful to see the way new users find their way around and/or get confused.

In other exciting news, I bought a data cable for my cellphone/camera, so very soon I will be featuring the most exciting photos you can imagine. OK, maybe not quite THAT exciting, but hopefully more interesting than photos of carpet samples.
