The Pains of a Music Addiction...

any one who is a musician, or the spouse of one, knows full well how friggin expensive this stuff can be... My wife jokes that a drug habit might be cheaper.. (although we both aggree not as much fun)

anyway... I'd been wanting a cable snake for a LONG time now..

its on the "list", but more importantly, its a great tool as an add on for my little side business of "portable studio for hire"

So i'd ordered one before xmas, but had to send it back.. it was defective, but the sellor gave me FULL refund, so no harm, no foul.. but I realy wanted to do my homework before getting the next one..

so... I've been researching, shopping, bugging sales people and techs for Months since.
And I finally made my choice, and my purchase.... I didn't get the Best Quality... So It may not last as long as some of the more Serious versions... BUT for my use, it should be good enuf.. and by the time I destroy it.. with any luck, I'll be in a better position to get a professional series one from a more known firm..


Anyway... all the work it took to find, research, compare, blah blah blah.. was Really really fun... and I hate shopping.. but now that its ordered.. as much as Im glad to finally have it done, it does come with some sadness...

I mean theres a certain level of Anticipation that comes with the whole Waiting, looking, shopping.. but Now that its on its way... and my 2007 Music Budget is OVER, Done, fin-EE-toe, as they say... (aka.. no more music expenses for a long long time) human nature wants to say "ok, what next" but practically speaking, Im done...

Sure, theres more stuff on the dream to do list.. but I'm getting into the bigger ticket arena now.... and that takes a lot more time to build up towards..

oh well... Maybe if the studio for hire actually makes a few bucks I can funnel that toward a PA or mixing board.... untill then.. I'll find contentment somehow... (Boys and their toys eh!!)


in more interesting news..
Jon Matheson, Rob Francis and another guy I've not yet met are fronting JAM NITE at the COPPER PENNY Thursday nite (AKA THIS THURSDAY, TOMORROW NITE, or today depending on when you read this)

Cheers..
