<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks, guys for your advise and
opinion. I appreciate your help. Someone at the party had a
linux laptop and we hooked it up to an Evolution MK-461C keyboard that was
laying around. I wasn’t going to put this on the web, because
the sound quality isn’t as good, but I was going to ask if you could
recognize this as being either the Bristol emulation or the Connie emulation
you were talking about…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>You may need to turn it up to be
able to hear it. Anyway, if you happen to know if this is
Bristol or Connie it may help to know which one it was. I’m
pretty sure it wasn’t the B4 emulation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Just like the last one, you may need to download the MP3, because the sound may
skip when played with the GarageBand player (which requires Flash v.6 or better).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Well, last May 17 I had some friends over to play some music
in the room above my garage. I had fixed the room up to look like a
bar. Suddenly, I remembered that I had an old Radio Shack boom box
in one of my closets with some built in microphones that went straight to the
cassette tape. I looked around and tried to find a chromium tape,
but since I couldn’t find one, I had to settle for the dolby noise
reduction that was build into the tape deck. Last week I had
remembered the tape and used my old computer with a SoundBlaster card, so I had
the idea of putting the analog audio on a computer. The old
computer uses a Celeron processor with about 125 mb of memory – it had
linux on it so it would run at all. I think it was something like
RedHat 6.X or 7.X, but I’m not sure. In searching thru the
applications that might have something to do with sound, I found one called
‘Audacity’, which I could use to take the analog tape outputs and
put them in the computer. It pretty much filled up the hard
drive. I was really happy to see that it seemed to have worked, so I made
an MP3 so I could put it on the web (plus, I needed the space back on my hard
drive). Since it was recorded above my garage, I decided to put it
on garageband.com.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>(you may want to just download the MP3, because it seems
like it skips a lot when I try to play it from GarageBand).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d be interested in hearing opinions from any of the
people on this list about how you think it sounds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>PS – Do I remember correctly that Paul Hindemith was a
bebop jazz player? I can’t remember if he played sax or
guitar…. I was surprised he stopped by and said
“Hello”. I thought he had died on the bandstand of a
heart attack while on a gig a long time ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
