“Cheesy bugs, maggots and 1970s mullets”

*Thinks* The very reason I got into music technology when I was a wee lad, was simply because I, in that kind of way that you are turning over a stone in your mind’s eye and scared to see what is underneath it – cheesy bugs, maggots, 1970s mullets – there has been a nagging thing in my music head telling me I’ve been missing out on something. Something quite important. Hmm? Oh yes, notes, chords, chord progressions, all that kind of stuff. Of course my DAW can do it, but the fundamental knowledge behind it? Slightly lacking. Well, maybe I just need to read something that puts it all together for someone with technological leanings but not musical ones. Maybe I need someone like Dave Clews to write it. A huge feature on the basics and more. Maybe I just need to turn to page 16, read the damn feature, learn it all quickly, and then never talk of this lack of ability I have ever again. Quick, if I do it now no-one will notice; no-one will ever know about my failings. Hurrah! Now, what to write in my Welcome this month?
