I have an old version of Sonar on my computer and I can get my hands on Cubase. We could pretty much do it with anything if we do it in straight .wav files. Someone would have to be in charge of accumulating and mixing the tracks into a finished product.

Oh...and there couldn't be any music reading involved if I was going to have any part in it. :)

you can be, brother. just keep at it.

YESSSS !!

let's call ourselves the cellar doors. any better ideas?

The Cellar Rats

One key person here considers the doors a lounge act..

I play folk guitar and piano/keyboards poorly (but well enough to suit my meager purposes). I'm getting fairly good at playing jazz bass - my main hobby these days.

My current band briefly went by the name "Cellar Door", because of the quote from "Donnie Darko"...

I'm just a drummer, not sure if that counts

*a shitload of multi-clamps and other trickeries

miscellaneous:

12" Djembe & various other hand percussion pieces, cowbells, jamblocks, etc. (can be mounted to footpedal) plus my wife's keyboard, bass and bass amp

I can't think of anything else right now, I'm in the middle of moving into new house

now we have a detached garage, 750 square feet, I am going to put central air in, and sound-insulate

EDIT: Gibraltar throne, now demoted to secondary because I got a Roc N' Soc hydraulic throne!
EDIT: most of this stuff I got used, at pawn shops, etc. and acquired over many many years

Flint--- Just a drummer. Ha. Above, I tried to briefly list a forum band, but didn't have a drummer. Glad to hear that you have a det gargage to work with.

do drummers count? usually, only to "8"

oh wait, are we listing gear?

Hang on, lemme get another pen, this one's out of ink.

Guitar (Ibanez RG550, I think? ...It's the S/S/HB one.)

Bass (Shitty Silvertone started bass, Traben Array 4-string)

trying to learn keyboards too, got me one of those crappy ones with the light-up keys

Gear????

Mrs RS has a 1910 Steinway C Grand Piano. In Classical, this is as good as it gets. Thank goodness she's not a string player.

that was my reference earlier.

but i like cellar rats even better.

i am drooooooliing. that's a sweet ride.

I sing, ...and pretty darn well I must say.

Thats almost like being a musician..

Used to play the Oboe...and mess around with a lil Ibanez Day tripper soemtimes.
