Ok, First Baby, an IBM T42 laptop, a rather nice, slim line, reasonable laptop. It's nice! I can now work on the move, and be creative wherever I am...yay!
Midi to USB connector...this helpfully connects the laptop and the korg together, and with a little mixer I can take the padtastic sounds from the korg, and integrate them with a full orchestra from the laptop, or a wicked synth, or a drawbar organ...the list goes on :o)
Pod XT Live...the ULTIMATE in guitar effects. I am awaiting delivery at the moment, but I've had a really good demo thanks to Trevor Durrant Guitars, I can also hook this up to my laptop and configure all the effects. Dan and I were fairly excited when in the middle of a guitar shop I was playing the exact intro from Tim Hughes new Happy Day song...I'm looking forward to working a lot with this box of tricks!
Thought seeing as I was getting some new effects from the Pod that I should get a new guitar too! My Variax 500 that I had before just wasnt me. Again, I'm awaiting delivery, but I have played it, its a VERY nice guitar! Basically, Fender have closed their Japan Factory, this was one of the last guitars, its a 60's re-issue, and there's only 6 of these limited edition guitars in black imported to the UK. Mine arrives next week. The guys down at Trevor Durrant Guitars are going to set it up for me, bless them!
I guess, the theme for this little interlude is not 'oh look at me i have money', because I really don't, and I'm not a particularly good player of anything. But, I'm investing in stuff for the purpose of worship, and I hope and pray that God loves that.
:o) God put a smile on your face.
