<p><span style="color: #00ffff;">Ok, one more. I was going to try to do one every other day or one a week, which I will try to do. But for now, I couldn't resist one more.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;">This particular one has to be hilarious to watch....I wouldn't know though cause it WAS ALWAYS HAPPENING TO ME.....damn it.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Imagine if you will, being on stage, singing something along the lines of "<a href="George Jones - LIVE "He Stopped Loving Her Today" Stopped Loving Her Today</a>" by George Jones (click the link for the song). This particular song has been called the greatest country song of all time. One thing is for sure, it's definitely one of the saddest, if not THE saddest song ever. It's a song about a man whose woman left him but he never stopped loving her and longed for her year after year. He kept pictures of her and all the old love letters they had between them. In the end, as the song says, he stopped loving her today....because he finally died. So, you can imagine, each time I performed it, I wanted to put as much emotion into it as humanly possible, and the crowds expected that.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;">You know that when you sing a slow sad song you want to get close to the mic, or even against it, so you can manipulate your voice better. So, imagine me on stage trying to sing this terribly sad song..........and the PA isn't grounded quite right. So every time my wet lips touched the mic ...... <span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span>..... shocked the dog water out of me. And I would usually <span style="color: #99cc00;">cuss</span> and everybody could hear me.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;">So the song would end up like this....</span></p><p>He said I'll love <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>you 'til I die <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT <span style="color: #99cc00;">....damn it</span></span></span></p><p>She told <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>him you'll for<span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span>get in time</p><p>As the years went slowly <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>by <span style="color: #99cc00;">....f***</span></p><p>She still preyed upon his mind <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">....leaning over to guitar player...."go fix this son of a ****"</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #99cc00;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p>He <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>kept her picture on his wall <span style="color: #99cc00;">....shit</span></p><p>Went half crazy now and then <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span></p><p>He still loved her <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT <span style="color: #99cc00;">....OW!</span></span></span> through it all</p><p>Hoping she'd come <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT POP</span></span> back again</p><p> </p><p>Kept some <span style="color: #3366ff;">POP</span> letters by his bed</p><p>Dated 19<span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span>62 <span style="color: #99cc00;">....damn</span></p><p>He had underlined in <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>red <span style="color: #99cc00;">....son of a ****</span></p><p>Every sin<span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span>gle I love <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>you <span style="color: #99cc00;">....DAMN IT!!</span></p><p> </p><p>I went to <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span><span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT POP</span></span> see him just today <span style="color: #99cc00;">....piece of shit PA<br /></span></p><p>Oh <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span>but I didn't see no tears <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span></p><p>All dressed <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span> up to go away <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #99cc00;">....OW!</span></span></span></p><p>First time I'd <span style="color: #3366ff;">POP</span> seen him smile <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT</span></span> in years <span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span><span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">BVVVVVVVT </span></span><span style="color: #99cc00;">....f***</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;">And it continued that way through the whole song. It happened on other songs too but the slow ones were killer! It HAD to be funny to watch!<br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="color: #00ff00;">That pisses me the **** off!!</span><br /></span></p>
<p>Once again, Joseph has performed his magic on one of my songs. My vocals and rhythm combined with his fills, lead, bass, and drums. And, as usual, Joseph is definitely THE MAN!!</p><p>Please check out the new version of Full Blood Country here</p><p><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Full_Blood_Country/song_focus_20330.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Full_Blood_Country/song_focus_20330.php</a></p><p>Of course, I'm biased, but IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Aside from music, I also enjoy wildlife photography. And, in digital photography, an image will appear a little different on different computers, depending on the computer itself, the video card, the operating system, and the monitor. It didn't occur to me that the same holds true for audio. An audio file will sound a little different on different computers depending on the computer, the sound card, the operating system, and the speakers or headphones.</p><p>This finally hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. In working with Joseph on the remix of Full Blood Country, something didn't sound quite right to me for some reason. But, I was on my computer at work with headphones when I was listening to the remix. I'm sure I drove Joseph nuts because what he heard on his computer was great and he couldn't figure out what I was talking about. Then I took the song home and listened to it on my computer there through speakers. It sounded much better and more clear. I could even tell a difference between listening through speakers and listening through headphones at home.</p><p>So, how do you determine what is the correct sound, if different computers sound slightly different, and how do you deal with that in recording?</p>
