I Hate My Computer

I’m really hating my computer. I didn’t buy a branded computer such as Dell or Compaq. Instead I got something that was put together buy this guy from a kit. It’s supposed to be good for those who are working with sound recording and graphics but there have been things wrong with it. For instance the slots of the media cards don’t work and at the moment I’m listening to music on only one channel. The result is that sometimes the guitar solo is missed out and sometimes the vocals have disappeared altogether. What utter junk.

Thinking of Playing The Guitar

I would really like to play a guitar. No, I don’t mean one of those Nintendo Wii types, I would really like to play a proper guitar. I’m just not sure what type I would like to buy. It might e that I buy an acoustic guitar so that I can play folk music. However I also really like blues/rock such as Hendrix and Clapton so buying a Fender Strat might be nice. I see that there are some really cheap guitars about these days. I don’t know if I should go to buy one of them or buy one of the more prestigious types like Fender, Gibson or Taylor.

Luckily I'm right-handed but I do sometimes wonder how it must be like for those who aren't. Do they really need to have left handed guitar lessons?

Crosby and Nash

Last year I was flicking TV channels and came across a live performance by Crosby and Nash. It was just the two of them on guitars and vocals yet it sounded out of this world. I don’t know what the recoding was but it looked like it was recorded in the 70’s. It’s strange because I have never seen it repeated despite the fact that BBC4 does nothing but repeat everything hundreds of times over and over again. I would love to get a hold of it because it was simply amazing.

UPDATE: I just found a few videos of it on good old YouTube. Here is one of them:
