Review Baby Lock Jewel

Time passes ...

... And we will stay the same! Pablo Milanes was wrong there, and the demonstration more convincing one I made just a little week and a half, I returned magically to my 15 years to find all as I remembered ...

For the first time in at least ten years, we meet all the building buddies who grew up together, we learned so many things together, we survived together this February 89 ', my neighbors always, those born in this building and it grew.

The return for a few days of our friend Gabriel Veronesi to Venezuela (living in Uruguay for more or less that, 10 years) matched with his birthday, and served to bring together a group of friends who, although being a floors away, did not meet to share "just like old times" from long ago. More than we should admit.

Of all the days that Gabriel was in Venezuela, I I share three, and there-unfortunately-one in which we could say we were ALL. It was like back to the mid-80s, in an instant. Songs, memories, anecdotes, bad things and good things that dilute in wine, let us realize that we are still the same, more than 15 years later. That we belong. No matter the distance, we are still there. Or rather, here. What s elleve inside can only be said to be close.

Gabriel, Ivars and his sisters, Victor Hugo (and his new bride! Eeeeso!), I ... Even Hector corduroy (reminiscent of Santa Rosalia!) And up Roitman via Webcam from Canada, We could say that for a moment, time was not for us, and came back to laugh at the same things, we returned to discover that the meaning of our lives has not changed, although the course perhaps, but not the essence.



The images speak for themselves. Do not let it happen again so long. Please.

Va pa 'a anho doing Danho ...

Yes, I need a English keyboard, or does not support characters Blogspot "No Anglo" in the titles of the posts. "A year Doing Damage" takes my program "Sounds of consciousness", meeting them very soon now. Perhaps best radio experience I've had to date, and I think it was just yesterday that I started doing radio in Caracas Alternative to "The Last Redoubt" and "Soul Street" ...



... and suddenly this leap to a bigger chain, more serious, I thought of that, for many reasons, not last long, and I leave for a year!.

I met very interesting people. I laughed, I angry, I could say what I feel and put the music I like and I feel it has a valuable message to leave the listener. I learned to do radio on terms that were new to me and to my own amazement, I have taken up the challenge and have overcome. Whenever I have to admit that I did not expect that outcome, when we recorded the first program in my house, no idea how it would work.



At a time now, for reasons that are not anyone's fault, my fellow emissions, Carlos Rios (who is also an important addition Webmaster and a man of ideas very clear and bright thought) could not continue making the program with me, so I followed my own with the task of bringing every Sunday the same place. Cambion also our operator on duty, in principle Brazón was Alexander's friend, and soon was replaced by dear "The Mine" Alexis Pacheco, making magic with these teams and helping to make everything sound as it should be, sometimes in precarious conditions, but with an outcome always absolutely professional. In the cabin Coordination story from the beginning with my friend Leida Márquez, advising, guiding and sharing laughs from the more outrageous, to calls from the public, from the humor more palatable off the air, to the disappointment at what they do not like .



And last but not least, I thank the Gods the presence of NAIR BORGES, who is my duty announcer, who is my support (though she does not know) when I get lost, that helps me take it easy, to laugh if any of my mistakes, to keep the most pleasant climate in the study, stay in the north and the reason for what I do when I think to myself that it's not worth . All help greatly to Sounds of Consciousness is the program that has been this year, and if the gods smile at us, the missing years!




With a big hug to all of them, the companions of the other programs, the panas Enio, Elvis "La Descarga", Napoleon (who was deputizing to read a couple of times, and whom all they get), actor friend Lianke speaker, pleasant voice and sparkling humor, try to remember the name! - Daniel corduroy breaking the seals, always consistent and supportive, to Caesar and his country corduroy Endogenous full of clear ideas and good vibe, the corduroys Alexei and beat us the ditty of "Patoteero, patoteeero! ", Jean Carlo and in Sunday visits to the cabin, the security people that we always receive" Today I was told to leave the headlights on! - to all who have been involved in one way or another, with our work, which is still voluntary "When we sponsor, Dad? - but full of courage and hope and good wishes!



Let light guide you!.

Long time no update! Nevas new. PVU

Wow ... three months .. must see that we have staked busy / tired / jaded, not to have written anything new! But here I am emboldened to put some letrillas here. Everything has happened!. Let's see ...



NEW MUSICAL FAMILY MEMBERS. This year has brought several surprises musically speaking ... and these include the arrival of new toys ... including "Strato" an Aria STG-003 type Classic Stratocaster (Sunburst) who was a gift of money (very cheap, and surprisingly very good copy of an original Fender Strato .. even compared with a late 60s whose owner told me "It's better than mine!") four loaches.





was also a new member to the row of bass, a Peavey Foundation S we rescued from oblivion through eBay, which was auctioned for a paltry price (brought out more expensive!) And d eun is curious color .. er .. violet light. : P still has no name (possible baptisms zulianizados as "Purple Montiel" and things like that, we have happened, but none are official yet) .. Will be encouraged to participate? Contest: Choose a name for bass!. Here is a photo from when I bought ... (EBay):



to see if they survive the shock (I of color is impressive .. configuration is also P / J, and I started my satanic plan to paint the microphones, a Green (the "P") and a yellow (the "J") both fluorescent. Let's see what comes out .. Go away, Billy Sheehan! I also use shocking colors (in contrast with "Five", named after not only having 5 strings, but in homage to the sympathetic character in the movie "Short Circuit" .. I remember "Number Five"? INPUT STEPHANIE! I WANT INPUT!) ... or the famous "Tiberius" in classic wood tones! (Tiberius was another discovery, back in 1992 .. or was it 93? When he was rescued from the very bottom of a Musical Tony 's, where he had dirty and two strings less ... and already has 13-or 14 - years of good service and sound!).

For there should be getting a new guitar in similar conditions .. PEAVEY TRACER one, who was one of those inventions "metal" d elos 80s ... Tapered headstock, a "Super Start", a single humbucker, Floyd Rose routing, you name it ... The idea is, it just came out cheaper than the low violet .. IRLA under similar conditions, slowly becoming a little "Frankenstein Guitar" RIEF adapting to a bridge (preferably a Floyd, ela did not bring any, of any kind), a humbucker to snore very hard: P, and possibly an artistic intervention his painting / once was blue is now apparently hatched by a small child! - or end to make it look like a child table, or there will be a plastic type intervention Collage (Candidates: full of labels of wines and delicatessen and call it "Gourmet" stamp or cover different sites call "Postal" ...) or simply "to peel" paint and leave the wood bare-bones as is typical for Nuno Bettencourt. Open another contest here? jejejej!.




Speaking Frankensteins ... I am writing just one. "Azul" eventually became the most comfortable seat of honor to be the machine of "ER" (Entertainment Room, not the famous ER!) where it will be for queries on the Web, chat, handle email, view photos and / or movies, and be easily used by visitors or occupants of ER in the way "Guest Room" (You know Liankita!). THEN ... thanks to the invaluable help of Maetlo Honolable Sir Barton Lynch (Thanks Barton! thanks!) who got us the processor (A faithful Apple G4 400 mhz ... for now!) and the AGP video card, plus the Motherboard we get on eBay (G4 Gigabit Ethernet), plus DVD-r that was wearing Azul, SCSI card (and two 9GB disks), more .. to see .. the Sonnet USB 2 + Firewire, but the second video card (an ATI 7000 PCI dual output) more memory and HDD Azul "That was the most wonderful .. knew that simply swapping the disks the system continues to operate as if nothing, nothing without installing anything extra?) and a case bought by Mr. Joseph Múcura (What was he who gave me the data on your hard disk .. "No better, no you have to go reinstalling anything, put the same hard disk and continues to work as usual! "we are on board a brand new Gigabit Ethernet G4 400 MHz, with 1GB of Ram! The difference with" Azul "(also at 400 MHz but G3, G4 not) is quite remarkable, especially with the programs of music (the G4 AltiVec has accelerated and is optimized for processes that use these programs) is remarkable.



Although there are some things to adjust (It hangs a little from time to time, but we assume that is because she is very picky about memory, unlike the G3-and the one is a festival of "everything had. "Let's see if we gradually upgraded to 2Gb of RAM .. (all identity and brand for ECIT problems) and a processor GigaDesigns DUAL 1.8 - ie, two G4 processors each 1.8hz ) .. But when I have to do .. after these last stayed at the destitution thanks .. : P



In events .. mmmm .. has picked up the thing with the band ESE VALERIO, and participate in the Urban Music Festival this year. It was not many people, but that was it went really well. The Excellent sound! (With all and disadvantage on stage with my team-as-a rare thing last time, which was decided after the first issue). For there is another presentation, we will be announcing ...



several months I've been teaching. Music, of course. And I must say with gratitude to God I have a group of exceptional students, exceptional circumstances. And they'll tell in detail .. Or with a little luck, you will hear yourself. Hopefully.



also musically, and personally .. I can not leave this note without any mention of a new family that enters our heart of relatives: The Gomez-Perger. A Rafucho will know him from just under a year, great friend of Valerio, who had seen us on stage several times but with whom he had shared until the day we played with ESE in the pizzeria VALERIO Evio Di Marzo (See the article "Here come the Moors ..." ago few months ...). From then on has grown a beautiful friendship, which led us to the end of last year, for those things in life and itineraries, to sharing the stage every Friday in a very nice restaurant east of the city, where I Funj his companion (he sings, I play guitar) even in spite of my profound ignorance of some songs from his repertoire (My ignorance is one of the most cultivated before it, Rafa tells me often, lol!) and my strength to other issues that have accompanied me since my childhood, which I recorded on the skin over the hard disk. The chemistry has been excellent, and has also resulted in closer ties with his partner, Gardenia, and their children, Chema (from him) and Mederly (her), both also very talented and very valuable people all!. With Gardenia and Mederly also share a taste for the spiritual "alternative" (euphemism we use the wizards, witches and other heretics modern variants when they want to be clear, hahaha!) And good movies, good music, and the thought of solidarity, of heart and spirit. Amen. Various parties, some more unusual than others, the marvelous human experience, and Sound Exchange and always entertaining, this detestable mania can not finish the conversations you want to keep talking more and more, have also led to armemos a "key" (and not Judo) and start to work in pre-production of original material Rafa. Cyber \u200b\u200bthoughts anarchic anti-similar system, is likely to soon be a appetizer on the net, courtesy of Radiogato.com. Ah ..



and finally .. I turned 34 yesterday. And I still do not feel the difference. At least 16 years ago I stopped feeling it ...



(I promise pictures later!)
