   What new instruments?

   For sure, particularly the side shows and all the freaks.

   Money itself, even though Designed for, and being *USED* as the 'currency'   
   of Evil, isn't intrinsically itself evil, because in *Truth*, it's Really   
   NOTHING!   
      
   And only in a 'culture' of Pure EVIL would it be proclaimed to be   
   necessary...because LYING is a Major component of Evil and: Money is NOTHING   
   but a LIE.   
   It's NOTHING but an ILLUSION.   
   It's NOTHING but a FICTION.   
   It's NOTHING but a PRETENSE.   
   It's NOTHING but Stupid, Immature, Childish MAKE BELIEVE   
   Because ONLY in THAT, FALSE Condition, in other words, Literally from within   
   a LIE, can it be considered to be ANYthing more than ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

   Until and ONLY until humans decide that they'll finally and HONESTLY   
   endeavor to be something better, i.e. smarter animals than the ABJECTLY   
   STUPID, Vile, EVIL ones they are now, BY CHOICE - STUPID CHOICE of course,   
   will things begin to improve.   
      
   And 'money' is the  Last Thing that could ever ***HONESTLY*** measure the   
   value of labor, or ANYthing else...because it was DESIGNED *ONLY* TO   
   DESTROY, through CORRUPTION, through those FOOLS ***STUPID*** ENOUGH TO PLAY   
   THAT STUPID *LOSER'S* *GAME*!!!

   She was already in the hospital...it isn't a complication problem is it?

   Boosting a weak signal is one of those more intelligent uses for   
   compression.   
   I might end up getting one sooner or later...but probably for my vocals -   
   I'm not a screamer because along with my hearing, I also want to keep my   
   voice as well, and having been born with so many problems, including vocal   
   ones (I had to have speech therapy when I was younger), I just don't see why   
   so many singers are so fussy and temperamental, to the point where I'll have   
   to transpose for them, most likely like today's church rehearsal - I just   
   sing the part, *without transposing*, and if it does end up being a bit too   
   challenging for matching my range to it, then I just either pick another   
   song, or work extra hard until I can meet the challenge, because that's the   
   only way I've ever known for getting through life i.e. surviving.   
      
      
   If band girl makes the weekend, we'll record some live things to work this   
   out.

   It's always a good thing to improve your sound...that's what I'm doing with   
   my keyboard sounds - and the overdrive, phase shifter, and tremolo pedals   
   sound Awesome!, so it's only a matter of time before I start looking into   
   compression and/or a mic preamp ;)
