My toolbox

Hello all,
I just thought I'd let people know that I am a musician. Of course I have neither a band or enough background to start recording, but still I practice and learn and create. As a person who had a minimum wage job, I know what it's like to be on a limited budget, thus I have my collection of low-end instruments as pictured above. I figure the only time one needs a flashy nice instrument is when they actually want to impress their audience after they have won them over to come to their concerts. I use my cheaply made instruments the same way people who buy shiny ones do, but I didn't waste large quantities of money on mine. Instead, I have a small beat up electric guitar from '95 that was a hand me down from my sister, a Squire J-Bass, and an Ibanez acoustic (non electric) all of which are th only things I need to thrive and learn things in the musical world. I would just like to emphasize the difference between wowing everybody with your nice things, and wowing them with creativity. I feel the latter is more important.

Interesting podcast

There's a little guitar shop in Milwaukee that likes to have fun talking about what they know best over coffee while recording themselves. It does not update very frequently, but these guys make it lengthy, entertaining, funny, and informative. Episodes range between 40 minutes and 1 hour and 20 minutes. They also divided a video podcast and audio only podcast for those without interest in downloading entire video files.
