Three things that I have. I have a set of awesome speakers that I just HAD TO buy when I was young (made by company called mission). You could say I was a music snob in my youth. I don’t know when I bought it, but it must have been 10 years ago? Not sure. [...]

This Thursday 17th, JoJo David has a concert at Robsham Theater at Boston College at 8:15 p.m. and he is one heck of a singer. His new CD is very good, and he has went through some challenging past. Let’s support our asian brother musician! I will be there (We’ve got baby sitter that night.. [...]
Thinking about doing multi-tracking of my music… I was recommended Audio-Technica ATR25 – Stereo microphone. May be get this and Apple’s “GrageBand” working?
