Well to my surprise I found this song I recorded 5 years ago that I had thought I&#8217;d lost forever. I made it on an old Boss-900, one of the first DAWS that didn&#8217;t even have a hard drive, it used these expensive Iomega Zip Drives that were expensive and would only hold about a song each. I got hundreds of these old zip drives around here with pieces of song ideas on them.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script src=\"http:\/\/mylikes.com\/embed\/js?user=stephenpickering&amp;width=335\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was happy I found this. I always liked the energy of the guitar. I remember at the time I was so influenced by Pete Townshend, and there&#8217;s where the relentless driving rhythm of the guitar came from. I played the bass and keyboards very rudimentarily, and then used the drum machine, which sounds cheap, but I always thought it was fun. I&#8217;m made I erased the original zip drive the song was on, so that I could listen to the individual instruments and see what I was playing, and maybe even drag the .wavs into Garageband and do something interesting. \u00a0The solo is sloppy and drags on way to long. That&#8217;s at least one thing I could do with it, if I had the original master, tighten that up. And there&#8217;s about a hundred too many &#8220;Whoa oh&#8217;s&#8221; at the end that drag out for about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>But, I&#8217;m happy I found the .mp3. It&#8217;s not that great, but I remember that I had fun making it, and that&#8217;s what counts the most. :-))))))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Pickering &#8220;I Know&#8221; iPhone Link As I was laying on the couch watching the Jet&#8217;s Colt&#8217;s game, I decided to dig through this old laptop to see what kind of &#8220;Easter Eggs&#8221; I would fine.
