"SISTER" UPDATE
As those of you roadies and groupies of The Professors and hardly anybody else know: We’re not making much progress in our music as of late.
A little tiny bit of that changes today: I have finished blocking/timing/setting up rhythm and pace etc. for Maybe I Should Try Your Sister- This new blocking includes the love-ballady stuff, the hard rock stuff, and quite possibly Dylan’s Pink...

Microsoft One Note
Is NOT a recording program, but it’s something else that will totally help my music SO MUCH.
As you may/may not know: One Note is a virtual binder of sorts, with different tabbed secitons and pages in each tab. This is useful to college students taking notes for class and for business people in charge of something important. It’s also useful for people like me who have folders FULL of...
"your sister" update:
Tomorrow it will officially be the first song The Professors have completed as a band. I say this because I’ve finally today figured out all of the spacing and timing and chords. All I need now are the bodies to play the other instruments so that we can make it sound like music. This is exciting news because it is the only song I meant to write when I started this whole thing about a month...
LIFES TOO SHORT (lyrics)
Theres something called talent, I aint got a lot But life’s too short to worry about haves and have nots I’d much rather care about the simple things Like music, and they joy it brings

EMPTY HANDED (lyrics)
For the song “Empty Handed” by my band, The Professors:
1). There was a time, and a place Full of hope for the human race
But time moves forward and moves on because of that we try to right the wrongs
Today doesn’t care what you bring on, it’s all about the coming dawn,
so join with me and we’ll go away get ourselves out of this wretched place
(chorus)

In Search of Recording Software
Any suggestions? Right now I’m looking up/installing a bunch of open source recording tools to see if they will do the job but if I’m going to spend money what do you think I should get?
I’m considering the following as it stands:
Adobe Audition 2.0 (used in multimedia if you guys remember)
Cakewalk (my brother uses it)
Garage Band (my other brother uses macs)
I’m open...

-regarding my choice of music
As you can tell by now, my music varies a lot. This is because of how varied I am. Every song I post is just as random as the next but they’re all important to me. I hope you guys take the time to listen to some things you wouldn’t normally and get a chance to experience something different.
