Hey everyone!

I haven't been to the group in a while and was just checking back in to make
sure everything was still cool. It's good to see the familiar names are
still hanging around.

I changed day jobs last March and between that, the family, and the band
gigging all the time, I just haven't had a lot of time to keep up with
things here. My new day gig is building and helping to design Atomic Force
Microscopes. The head guy is an old music buddy of mine and he knew I was
good with gadgets and had a background in tinkering, and decided to make me
an offer I couldn't refuse. Here's a link to the company if anyone is
interested in just what the hell an Atomic Force Microscope is:

www.novascan.com

In other news, my band, Standing Hampton, just finished our first CD.
Several of the songs started out in PARIS, but were then re-recorded and
mixed in DP when I switched over. I miss the sound of PARIS, but the need
for "modern" plug-in handling, virtual instruments, etc. was just too great
for me. The bulk of the tracks were recorded in DP 5 on my dual 2Ghz G5. Our
keyboard player recorded his tracks on his Nuendo rig and they were then
flown into DP for mixing. The mastering was done by Discmakers where we had
the CD manufactured. Our band plays high energy classic rock covers and we
were always being asked if we had a CD, so we decided to put something out
to sell at gigs, etc. It's definitely "old school" rock. The description we
use is "Power pop rock at it's seveties-eightiesest". ;>) Anyway, if anyone
wants to check it out, you can listen to snippets at iTunes, CD Baby and
Digstation.com. Just do a search for "Standing Hampton" / "Brace Yourself"
or you can get there from our web site at www.standinghampton.com.

I'll try to check in more often now that my life's slowed down a little
again. I always enjoy the company here and I'm glad the place is still going
strong!

Later,

Tony
