I did a little bit of sleuthing and found out that the weird e-mail I’d been getting was actually a virus being automailed out by someone’s infected system. I can’t tell if it was from the buddy of mine who’s named in the e-mail, or merely someone who happened to …
Oops, nothing to blog recently. I do have to say that I love Sonic Foundry stuff. Now if only they would get on the ball with their effect automation we’d really have something going on! I’m still working on that gig tape…. Also our intern showed up at work and …
The band had a great gig last night out in Leesburg. Thank goodness, though, it’s the last time I’ll have to drive out that far. It’s really tough packing up until 2:30 in the morning and then not getting home until almost 4:00. I’m a little pooped today (obviously) but …
So yesterday I turned the big 32. I didn’t feel old until I started saying it! It’s weird how you can be a full grown guy with a family, house, dog, 2 cars, etc., and still feel like you’re a complete knucklehead. That’s the human condition, I suppose. My wife …
Oops, in my last entry I forgot to be explicit about what was so weird about that e-mail — I never sent such an animal. It was returned to me but someone else sent the original e-mail… hmm. Anyway, writing in to also note that last night Eleya and I …

If there’s anyone reading this blog, who’s using AOL and might have my jennyboyle-dot-net address hanging around in their system, …
Thanks to a helpful message on a listserv where I’m a member, I got a link to The AX84 Project, which is all about homemade tube amp building. The documentation is fantastic and also a lot of knowledgeable people there tell you why turning a 50-watt amp up to deafening …
We finally put some deck furniture up, so now we are fully prepared for summer cookouts! I had a fantastic weekend just having a lot of family time (much of it spent running back and forth to Wal-Mart, but hey, wherever you can get it). The baby was in very …
Congratulations to my friends Brent and Leslie, who just had twin boys last night, Nicholas and Alexander. I haven’t seen Brent since my college years but I still hear about the big news when it hits the papers! Also, I fixed the link below to the Triumph film, which is …
A nice practice day today. I didn’t do many fundamentals, but I worked on doing some improvisation, trying to hold down a moving chord structure and keeping time with the left hand, while letting the right hand find a melody. Then I worked on trying to actually craft a melody …
