The Thinking Person's YouTube

If you read this blog, then you know that I'm a big YouTube fan.  Google is now competing with a site that has much better performance.

My favorite video site is soon to be VideoJug once they get more content up.  I realize that the name implies an entirely different type of site, but these folks are putting together a library of thousands of how-to videos.  Some are produced in-house and others will be uploaded by members.

All content is approved before it is posted, so VideoJug should turn into a very high-quality site.

Second Wind Tracks

I have finally gotten around to ripping and posting some tracks I've recorded over the years.  This music was recorded in 1994 by a bluegrasss band from New Hampshire named "Second Wind".  (Not to be confused with the group from PA.)

We recorded it in my friend Larry's studio (East Coast Digital - which I helped design) in Tyngsboro, MA with a Neumann U87 and a few Beyerdynamic microphones with a Mackie 8-bus console, 16-Bit ADAT's and Genelec 1031a monitors.

We mixed it down and did some editing and mastering on ProTools.
