This one was made when my voice was corrupted by the super bug described earlier in this blog. The microphone is the good one also described earlier. What I lack in voice I make up for in emotion I reckon. The song is called I’ll Wish I Had Given Him More. I heard this one… Continue reading Second Gospel song

Some sharing from my Gospel folder
First, a song that was originally a demo of my Olympus LS-100 digital recorder. I did this for my older brother, but I liked it enough to keep it. The song is entitled Be Still for the Presence of the Lord. I learned this when playing for my third wife. I had a much more… Continue reading Some sharing from my Gospel folder
Audacity
I suppose I should update the Audacity situation, so here goes. The FFMpeg libraries no longer work with the newer versions of Audacity, so, after struggling with this for awhile, I finally deleted Audacity altogether. That was a cool program, but until the libraries are updated to work with the current state of things in… Continue reading Audacity
A Small Update on the German Front
In a further communication to me, my librarian told me that the audio is farther along than is the Braille, which was contracted out to another company. I never would have thought that audio production was faster than Braille.
Some More Movement on the German Front
Yesterday I wrote my librarian concerning a book I’d just read. The book needed an additional flag that wasn’t there before. She wrote back saying she’d forwarded my request and their response was quick and satisfactory. Then she proceeded to tell me about the two German books in production. Behind the Wheel is the title,… Continue reading Some More Movement on the German Front

Some Rambling Concerning The Great Toy Robbery
Some recent comments on another blog post of mine inspired me to do this one. I have decided to put an audio recording of me playing The Great Toy Robbery here. In this recording I got out with all seven keys and also escaped Santa’s rocket-powered death sleigh. The bird sound you hear during the… Continue reading Some Rambling Concerning The Great Toy Robbery
My Windows Phone, a Eulogy
As long ago as 2008, an event happened in my life. I was still grieving for my late second wife Jane, who had died of sepsis in 2005, and suffering from relentless loneliness, the deep depression consuming me little by little. A long-lost friend appeared out of nowhere and we talked and talked, somewhat revitalizing… Continue reading My Windows Phone, a Eulogy
Singin’ the iPhone Blues, Sort Of
Last Monday, Wife Eva got a new iPhone, an iPhone 13 Pro. She wanted the 1TB version but the Apple store sold her the 512GB one instead, after telling her they had the 1TB model. I will eventually inherit this one, in sierra blue it is. She has ordered the correct one on Amazon, so… Continue reading Singin’ the iPhone Blues, Sort Of
One Drive and Audacity
Hi! Wow! It has been awhile! The other day I finally succeeded in logging into the One Drive site and clearing everything out. When I first set up this computer I plunked a lot of stuff in what I thought was My Documents. It turned out to be One Drive My Documents so the darned… Continue reading One Drive and Audacity
