Quote of the day: "The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." --T. H. White, The Once and Future King

I have remixed Ana to increase the volume
(unfortunately the hiss is more noticable as well). I also changed the
transition from the intro to the main part--in the first version they were
merged, now there is a slight pause after the intro which I think sounds
better.
Here is a blast from the past... In 1982 I had access to a real recording studio on the campus of Lebanon Valley College where I was a student (Audio Recording Technology was my second major). In the spring of that year I recorded a song written by my friend Carol Fleischman. All I have left is the cassette master which I digitized using my PS02 (I initially attempted to record directly into my Audigy sound card--which would have made a higher quality recording--but there was a severe 60Hz hum in the connection so I used the PS02 instead). Anyway, here it is: Twin Song (2.2MB, MPEG Layer 3 compression @ 96kbps), with Carol playing acoustic guitar and me playing lead guitar. I have to confess that I wrote the lead part so Carol should not be blamed for my melodically-challenged composition. ;-)
