   This is a foreign country insomuch as it's NOT functioning as the   
   Constitutional Republic it was Founded to be.   
   Also, we had a Foreign born 'president' in Obamanation, so it's really no   
   wonder that Citizens are treated *like* foreigners in THEIR OWN COUNTRY by   
   it's Foreign so-called 'government'!

   Not religious, but definitely Sacred! Such is the Love Vibe and the Purity   
   Required to generate it!

   Of course, but that's to be expected and it's well understood, which is why   
   that although a band may have recordings, they also have LIVE Concerts!!!   
      
   > All tv shows are 100% dead.   
      
   Yes, but many of those shows were recorded, i.e. filmed Live before a studio   
   audience.   
      
   > All records you ever heard in your entire life are 100% dead.   
      
   That's true of ALL recordings, which is why there  are Concerts!   
      
   > Your casettes of you playing are 100 % dead.   
      
   That's why we're planning on playing Concerts.   
   And that's why fans buy concert tickets...so they can *experience* the band   
   Live!

   Of course.

   I'm sure they said worse things than that.   
      
   On the Ignite The Sky album, I wrote a tribute to those whose creative   
   innovations made such a difference:   
      
   4. The Spearhead   
      
   verse1   
   looking back when what we have today was all brand new   
   never done before or imagined by more than just a very few   
   following their dreams despite what others would say or do   
   to discourage their realizing their ideas when they broke through   
      
   prechorus1   
   then they hid their pessimistic faces proven wrong again   
   as the exceptional overshadowed the mundane   
      
   verse2   
   always thinking far ahead beyond the limits of the herd   
   though they offhand don't understand proclaiming it's absurd   
   'til innovation comes when creativity is stirred   
   and naysayers pretending that they never said a word   
      
   prechorus2   
   then they put down their wet blankets a while and stopped their silly games   
   but I'd still like to get to know their names   
      
   bridge   
   what if it happened that invention was received without obstruction   
   and with warm welcoming instead   
   how much the better that encouragement would spawn the new construction   
   and like a wildfire spread   
   going full ahead   
      
   verse3   
   pioneering through a world of skeptics and the doubts they wield   
   to boldly blaze in outstanding ways new trails in the field   
   with dedicated perseverant determination steeled   
   against all opposition that achievement be revealed   
      
   prechorus3   
   as the spearhead once again is brought to bear to drive it through   
   for the many to enjoy the efforts of the few   
   and where would we be without those special few

   'Inventing' a way to 'get away' with something that only Detracts from a   
   performance is NOT the same thing as being creative, but rather Uncreative,   
   as in Eliminating Live performers from what's *supposed* to be a Live   
   performance!!!

   > or IEM's, or electronic drums ... I just encourage them to keep thinking   
   > those thoughts.  That's less competition out there we have to worry about.   
      
   If you're doing it right, there won't be any competition, because only the   
   other ZOMBIES will be competing - you'll be far above that Lowest Common   
   Denominator!!!

   All the  FAKERS are doing that!   
      
   > My guitar is stereo.   In fact, I own an old Gibson 345 from the 60's that   
   > had a stereo plug.  It was stereo from the git go.   
      
   I know some instruments have stereo outputs, but aside from having a nice   
   stereo signal to practice through headphones with, there's really no need   
   for it.

   Stereo is nothing more than perception of sound using two ears, each hearing   
   a slightly different signal due to position from each other and factors such   
   as phase differences.   
      
   When I recorded the demos of the Originals I wrote, they all started with   
   mono signals and all I did was vary the level settings between left and   
   right channels as I mixed them down, and the result was a stereo recording.   
      
   > Because we generally work small to medium sized clubs, keeping things in   
   > stereo is doable, and sounds better.   
      
   Particularly in small spaces, stereo can be a most effective effect for   
   producing the illusion of a much larger venue.   
      
   And personally, I'm very fond of the "suitcase" model Rhodes electric   
   piano's stereo "ping-pong" tremolo.

   I'm sure that was a while ago as I've only gotten back to replying now.
