Just a really quick update on this topic. After a great deal of thinking and research I’ve decided to try a Line 6 POD XT Pro that I picked up for a great price used. This serves multiple purposes, 2 of which are the need for a convincing sound at a really low volume and the obvious realization that there’s no way I can afford or justify the expense of the dream set up I’d like to have, so this hopefully will get me close.  Now for some intense programming.  ewwwww….

With the demise of the church I was heavily involved with on the worship team, I find myself at a loss.  Hmmmmm.

Quick excerpt… “There is only one God, and it’s not you.”

This is a super quickie.  Reason: there’s nothing I need to say.  It’s rated G (surprisingly) so the whole family will love it.  This is a wonderfully sad movie!  A MUST See.  Richard Gere and Joan Allen are great but the dog steals the show.  And I’m honestly not a dog person.  Based on a true story.  See it.

As if I needed another reason to prefer winter.

Over the past month or so I’ve been listening to/rediscovering Rush again.  I became a Rush fanatic back in the 70’s shortly after they released their first album.  In the 90’s when they went into their heavy keyboard phase I lost interest but picked them back up when Vapor Trails came out, which was the powerful trio I remembered, brought up to a modern sound.  In other words, simply awesome!  So anyway, with the somewhat recent release of their documentary which I was able to get from the library I have started to renew my Rush fanaticism, getting concert DVDs and anything I can get my hands on now.  I really respect these guys.

Yes, another movie review.  I did say I would do more.  But lately there haven’t been many that have just captured me.  Oh there have been some good movies don’t get me wrong.  A recent good watch was Lions For Lambs, well worth watching too.  But this Denzel Washington entry that I just finished watching actually brought me off my seat, and I had to write about it.
