   I'm looking into some new effects too...not buying them, just looking, for   
   now ;)   
   The guy at Guitar Center told me this would happen...one effect, then two   
   more, then more and more...but I say, just so long as it makes our sound   
   Awesome! ;)   
      
   Mac's are great.   
      
   They're overpriced and you can't buy the component parts and build them.   
      
   > Pc's are great if you're a techie.   
      
   All computers are for techies...they're NOT for Idiots, never were, and   
   neither is ANYthing else.   
   Besides, it's not the PC, it's the Operating System...and MicroCrap WinBlows   
   has Never since it's STUPID inception, Ever been without it's loads of   
   problems, so being a techie is a necessity....which is why I'm looking   
   forward to Linux.   
      
   > Live jamming is great if you don't want to be paid.   
      
   Perform *well* and you'll get paid...but That Requires Practice and   
   Rehearsal, and COMMITMENT!!!   
      
   > Singing songs in keys that are out of your range .... well, have at it.   
      
   I work those details out Before performing it. If I can't work it out in   
   time, I shelve the song until I've got it worked out...and pick  another   
   song instead.

   I write songs in keys that suit my voice, but they often have challenging   
   parts to sing and play, but then it's waaaay past time to Depart from   
   Dumbing Down...because challenging doesn't mean impossible, it just means   
   that some work will be involved...but since Music is a Labor of Love, no   
   problem!
