Not by me but yeah, all the cliches got worn out early.
Ah, OK :( I like making people laugh, but I guess if you wore that out like a cheap hooker before I got a chance that's fine too :(
Do you know any of your family back in Ireland, Billy?
Honestly no, as my Grandpa came here WAY before my time, and since we were mostly German, that was the main part of the "home lands" that I saw personally. No one spoke Gaelic, but we all ate certain things that reminded everyone of Ireland.
There's a lot more to our culture than booze and bombs.
I know, I have more culture in me than simple Yogurt ingestion.... LOL :) Though if you put those two things together.... Whiskey Shot into a Beer... ;)

Yes I'm well aware the Irish were some of the very first Vikings, and that Ireland was one of the only countries in that area of the world NOT to be conquered by Rome. I also know Potatoes and Cabbage and not speaking a Latin based language, are all related with Germany and Ireland.

Anyone else find it funny that Ire isn't a nice word ? And then you get Ireland.... Fun side note; Germani (What the Romans called Germans) is Gaelic for "The screaming ones". Imagine how many nuts would fall if you shook my family tree huh ?

Ir's so fun pulling out that kind of knowledge, especially in front of an urban type.

I have a cousin from Dublin who immigrated here years back. Back when he was fairly new to Canada, we went for a drive one evening and ended up at a campground out in the foothills. It had recently stopped after raining for days, and my cousin was very dubious that I could get a fire going.

I pulled some kinda dry wood from under a tree, baton-ed it with my belt knife and sparked it up with a ferro rod and a bit of cotton fluff. Ten minutes later we were getting high by the fire and my cousin was looking at me like I was Survivorman :ROFLMAO:
Ya know that's actually pretty much how I picture you in my head.

Looked him up.
Yeah, he doesn't exactly look like a hardened desert warrior.
He looks more like he's trying to be the new Edward Scissorhands.

I use Superior Drummer from Tunetracks for many of my songs with a midi drum pad made by Korg. What I like are the thousands of midi files I can drag into an
arrangement and then tweak them as needed with accents, roll, plams, rimshots, etc. I've spent more on the added software for Superior with the many added
genres styles, songwriters packs, midi packs that are genre specific than what a good drum set would cost, but then I would need to learn how to use an actual
drumset. :)

Ever heard of LMMS ? I used to use "free versions" of different music tools for synth stuff, but then I found LMMS, and loved it. It's totally free and works great.

I've not used it. What is LMMS an acronym for? I suppose I could do a search. I have a bunch of software for synths and keyboards as well as a nice
midi keyboard. Lots of guitars and a few basses, clarinets, flutes and a few other stringed instruments. Tons of software. I use a program called Reaper
for my recordings, but have others as well. Cakewalk, Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Logic, etc, but I like Reaper best because it does not use much of a footprint,
and is very stable when running multiple tracks, and also easy to use.

Here is one I posted this morning that has a Satch feel. We've had a recent invasion of a thousand or more Grackles and Red Winged Blackbirds that I took
some pics of yesterday, so I thought I would use one of the grackle pics for the song name.

Linux MultiMedia System. I used it for two full albums of "experimental Industrial" style music. It comes with a bunch of different samples though; Everything from Piano, Classical string instruments, steel guitars, drums of all sorts, and of course, you can import your own stuff too. I used a shitty recorder once to sample a line from Night of the Living Dead and then just added it in where I wanted it.

I have used Fruity Loops before, and it was decent, but LMMS being free, and working on every Operating System, is a pretty great thing.

Went and picked up my daughters first car today. 2001 Jeep Cherokee
She's almost done with her tests, and it's scary to have my girl going to be driving soon. 😱😱😱 lol
Threw the charger on it for a few hours since it'd been sitting awhile and we had to jump it to get it home. After new gas,and a good charge it starts and runs damn fine now. 20240323_153158.jpg
Came from a friend so I know it's history. Be a damn fine first car for a 16 yr old.
Pretty cool, but pretty scary her on the roads too. Lol
