About Me

My photo
Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!

Something Fruity!


Ok, so last Christmas, my kids banded together and bought me this great program called FL Studio (the "FL" stands for Fruity Loops - weird huh?). Anyway, this program lets you edit music digitally. It's really complex and has many features and I have only learned a few of them but lately I've been working with it a bit and this is my result...

I suspect the tune in instantly recognizable to most of you. I can't say it's my classiest effort but it is my FIRST effort so I decided to do something completely for fun.

So, here you go, the famous "you-know-who" song and I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you to my kids for the really cool software!

Love to all - JR

So did you make this up entirely using the program? Pretty cool! Still waiting for Puff the Magic Dragon though!

P.S. I'm assuming the fact that the White Sox won means you did not go to the game. ;)

Yeah, I made the song up entirely in FL Studio. So, it is a completely synthesized construction.

Maybe I'll do Puff the Magic Dragon with it too! lol

Yes, the fact I wasn't there allowed the White Sox to win. I'm wondering if I should avoid watching the game on TV today since it's their last chance to stay in the play-offs today?!!! ;O)

Donna said...

That program sounds fun.

Stay away from your TV! LOL.

Is weirdcam down today? BTW, I could see a spider web on the weirdcam yesterday, probably just outside your window!

Jerry said...

Actually weirdcam is up today but occassionally I have to restart it. We are back in our driveway again today too so you should see the cars out there! :O)

Our Weather Today:

It's been a very wet Spring so far this 2015. However, we have had periods of beautiful skies in between. Currently that trend continues. Oddly enough it's been quite cool compared to the norm so perhaps that means a summer that is not a scorcher. Really, I'm ok with that...
