Good Afternoon!

I hope everybody is having a great Memorial Day Weekend, either having fun outside or jammin' with your respective "BR". I have finally come to the conclusion that it's time to give up on drag racing as a hobby (too expensive, and too d--m hot down here in Houston...) and get back into the music scene. I played brass instruments in school, self taught bass and acoustic 6 and 12 string years ago, and wrote a few originals while in the coast guard (retired after 22 years). I recently wrote another original (only took two days to write) for a bicycle fundraiser event that I would like to record, along with the originals from years ago, so I am in the market for probably the BR600 (with the update to 1 meg, of course)
I have read many of the posts here and listened to some of your recordings in the other topic, looks like a lot of talent on here, I wish everybody the best of luck in your projects. When I get my "BR" purchased and played around with for a while, I'll most likely be inquiring with ya'll about suggestions, settings, "how-to's", etc. If anybody is on the north side of Houston, let me know, we can possibly get together and you can "tutor" me some (lol).
So, have a nice weekend and I'll be chatting with you soon!

Hey what's up?! I'm in Nebraska. Sorry about the Rockets man lol~ And I'm sorry to admit I was rooting for Kobe and the Lakers LOL! If you want to get back into music and have a crapload of fun recording your songs, the BRs are great!! I have a BR900 and a micro BR....I love them both very much!! Even if you're not a professional recording engineer (like me), I'm sure you'd have alot of fun trying to be one in the privacy of your own home~ On your own schedule!! They also make great practicing tools. I wouldn't have it any other way!! Good luck~ Happy Memorial Day to you too!!

Hello Kody, yea, too bad about the Rockets, they gave them a good challenge, but the "Coach Kobie" will meet their match against Denver, they are going all the way this year (I hope??)
Anyway, with all the music experience I had growing up and continuing off and on since then, I should have listened to my parents and made my living in the music business. I wanted a career in drag racing, but when neither of those came to fruition, I joined the USCG and enjoyed it. I am now a locomotive mechanic with Union Pacific RR in Houston, hence the online name of "Bad-Rail", a railroader's term meaning that there's a problem ahead (any chance you are in Omaha? That's our company HQ on Dodge Street).
Thanks for the response and I'll be around!

Welcome from the Northeast - Unless you have to fit one in your pocket, the 600 looks like a good unit.

Lots of Micro people around here, though. Just thought I'd warn ya

See you around and have fun,

Mark
