rayzray

i lived my life on both sides of this delemmma;; like,, it's the "Law";; how much can we "steal" before we become addicts!!

having 27 MD units (most of them old now);; and 800 standard MD discs;; the only ones i ever had problems with were the 80 min ones.. soooo,, i stuck to the 74 minute ones (any brand);; and only use the 80 min ones for "editing".. try recording a minute of silence as track #1;; or anything;; then;; start recording on the 80 minute;; then delete the first track;; but then we can call them 79 min disks from now on..!!

catching up on my Top-40 for my piano students;; they have been sending me e-mails to request these songs.. i caught them on my Sony-MD-Deck;; then to them;;some are keepers for my Hi-MD900.. *nice listening stuff* BECAUSE OF YOU - NE-YO COLORFUL - DELUCA, ROCCO & THE BURDEN FLAWS AND ALL - BEYONCE SIGNAL FIRE - SNOW PATROL MAKES ME WONDER - MAROON 5 THNKS FR TH MMRS - FALL OUT BOY LAST NIGHT - DIDDY / KASHIA COLE

La Nouba - Cirque Du Soleil - (transferring the audio from the DVD i bought there at Disney World,, to my Sony MD-Deck).. i (rayzray) MUST say;; *as a Pro-Musician* ,,lol,, that i was impressed with the music and LIVE musicians and how they \have to improvise to adjust to the quirks and mistakes of the performers;; and how they play from different locations watching the stage aand tv monitors.. late edit]] oh,, i WILL remix the DVD and put the acts in the order that i (rayzray) prefer;; i can't see how those guys can function in those tight pants!!

ok,, so i bought my 20th!!!! Panasonic DVD recorder in Florida;; (actually i was trying to buy the last floor model of another model too) but Target wouldn't sell it to me;; that would have been my 21st.. i can see that DVD recording is going to super-ride my MD recording soon.. now to figure out where THIS unit will go;; probably replace my LivingRoom Recorder #1 and that one will probably get hooked up to a Radio tuner so i can record an FM station at home on DVD while i listen to the same station ;; riding and cruising in my Bling/Fling Van..

Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth (not downloaded or uploaded,, but,, Handloaded;; that is;; given to me hand to hand in person on my trip..( from TullFan.. 1 This Will Never End 5:07 2 Otherland 5:15 3 Turn the Page 4:18 4 Fly 5:45 5 Carry the Blessed Home 4:04 6 Another Stranger Me 4:37 7 Straight Through the Mirror 5:50 8 Lionheart 4:17 9 Skalds and Shadows 3:13 10 The Edge 4:29 11 The New Order 4:53 12 Dead Sound of Misery 5:20 13 [untitled Track] 12:38

i'm back; great trip;; i'm dead;; i am sleeping for a week.. thanx TullFan for ur hospitality on my trip back;; i liked your "Secret" Bling bling store.. oh yeah;; my wife and i met Tull Fan from the T-Board/MDCF!! now,, Tull Fan is the ONLY one that really knows me and all my 7 personalities..

well,, i guess this is bye;; as i listen to my wife yell "shut that freakin thing off"!! (my wake up song).. yous won't hear from me until a week (unless i remember my password).. oh,, right now i am listening to the CD's my wife just handed to me for the "Trip" in the car;; Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and more like them.. it's gonna be a loooooong trip!! ray (rayzray) yous may hear from me sooner though as i am visiting a T-Board/MDCF member in VA on the way back.. Bye..

mmmm,, i will check it out in Florida at my son-in-law's Apple Store he manages..

mmmm,, thanks Bob,, but i spent about 20 minutes last night trying to find ANY input/output for the "aux" and could not.. i have tons of cables;; i probably have more cables than the average Radio Shack store.. NADA;; "no go";; rein de touts.. no hole.. perhaps it;s on the steering wheel.. there is no "Owner's Manual" in the Brand New Ford Car..!! anyhows;; back OT.. my wife asked me to wake her at 3:00 AM so we can leave at 4:00.. this is where i shine!! a few years ago i was doing a little project with my then 4 year old grand-daughter with a Yamamha "sctratch" wheel unit;; an R&B HH/ Rap Yamaha Keyboard with sampling capabilities and my Sony MXD-D40 Deck.. i was TRYING to get her to say "No-No" (grandfather in Italian) in a mic into the sampler.. she was too focused on the "scratch wheel".. nothing;; all i was gettin was the "O" sound.. i gave up;; and they left.. then i took that sample and the Rap loop and began looping and them to death and make a 40 minute long ANNOYING song ever;; it's soooo annyoing;; i named it "wake-up".. it is guaranteed to wake up anyone anywheres;; i am LISTENING to it now in my headphone and will play it at 3:00 AM until my wife wakes up / screams/ or starts throwing objects around.. but,, it WILL wake her up. (she hates that 40 min loop).. long live rayzray and his MD blings and things;; i DO set myself a higher standard of MD'ism..

i found it;; the music for the trip down;; the rental car i picked up has all the stations set to Latino stations.. so,, i went into my Latino Case and am loading a bunch of MY Latino Dance/Salsa etc onto my Hi-MD;; (had to delete some good albums though).. i will spare you the list;; i can't tell one from the other;; but theyr surely sound great and will keep me awake.. the Radio/CD player has an "Aux" button;; but i can find wher to plug in my Hi-MD900.. it's a Ford/Fusion;; Where is the line in for my Hi-MD - anyone?? 9 hours to go..

thanx Bob.. i am getting nervous ,, it's getting close to "Driving Time";; and more piano student are coming to my house to wish me good luck driving.. kinda like they are giving me "The Last Rites (sp)";; do they know something i don't know..?? i need to find some Good Luck music;; mmmm ,, let's see...... ok,, i have about 100 house/techno CD's .. this one is DJ Raffis - Saturday at Exchange 2001 vol-2 and if that don't work what about D'soca Zone (The 2nd Wine) i think that 's the CD that introduced "Turn Me On" by Kevin Lyttle before he ruined it with his re-mixes.. 1. Hot Up De Place - Iwer George 2. Hairy Bank - Poorsah 3. Glow - Alison Hinds/David Rudder 4. Tina - Tony Bailey 5. Sugar Down Deh - Surface/Tony/Nicole/Terry 6. Oldtime Something - High Intensity Band 7. I Will Be There - Rupee 8. Indian Girl - Miss TC 9. Leggo Meh Man - Shayne Bailey 10. Pan - Square One/Andy Armstrong 11. Turn Me On - Kevin Lyttle 12.

thanks richyhu.. right now i am sulking;; my piano student came by to wish me a good and safe vacation;; and not to be such a jerk on it ?? and told me her boyfriend is taking he to see The Blue Man Goup in Boston!!!!!! i wanna go!!!! i love them;; soo right now i am listening to the audio CD i made of a Blue Man group DVD in the living room;; can't transfer it to Hi-MD cause studio is shut down.. mmmm late edit;; gee i don'e need da studio to transfer.. it's the rayzray anti-5.1 version amtrack/aflax or what ever;; maybe Hi-Lp..

i have to calm down;; i shut my studio down,, but still can play "Vinyls".. i am playing a Miles Davis(Vinyl) "My Old Flame" mmmm (not even the same pic as the vinyl;; and,, not the same songs;; but the same title for the album??!! here's my titles Side A 1.. a night in tunisia 2.. embraceable you 3. don't blame me 4.. my old flame Side B 1.. out of nowhere 2.. bird of paradise 3.. scrapple from the apple *Charlie Parker plays alto on this album..

ok,, i am getting reay to RIDE (I-95);; i am transferring this CD (The Copulation Compilation) to my Hi-MD900.. (i am surprised they have it listed on allmusic and Cduniverse) i NEED to get into an "Aggressive Driving Mode";; track 9 is (I-95 a.k.a. The "A**hole Song'). i will play this Song/CD/Hi-MD probably past NY into Va and N Carolina;; at which time i will watch soap operas with my wife on her B/W emergency TV kit.. thru S Caro/Georgia.. 1 The Rodeo Song Garry Lee, Showdown 2:04 (this song has EVERY swear phrase ever made) 2 How's Your Whole...Family?

the fact that thie is FRI Da 13th;; an i wanted to leave for Florida on Fri;; but,, not the 13TH!!!! ok,, i'll wait till midnight.... oh "what's this...."?? a Snow/Sleet STORM is coming from the Mid-West towards the mid-east coast??!! if,, i leave a midnight;; i will intercept that storm in Virginial/N Carolina!!!! Noooooo!! they can't handle a (one-inch snowstorm) in the Mid-East coast.. the last time i went to Florida;; i couldn't get THRU Virginia cause they were panicing over a 1" snow-coating.. i couldn't even get the rest room;; or a cup of HOT DunkinDonut's Coffee.. i'm pissed;; is there a way around this?? perhaps i can fake the flu and just stay home with my two cats and my PC's and let my wife go alone!!

ok,, i'm NOT gonna panic;; we (may) leave tonight;; i got my route planned (IF i can only get AROUND New York City ) ok;; it's smooth sailing the rest of the way to Florida;; WTF;; today is FRIDAY Da 13th;; !!!! maybe i'll wait till Midnight!!

Herbie Mann:: Discoteque (vinyl) like,, from the 70's;; i used to play that LP over and over and over and (ditto).. 1. Hi-Jack 2. Pick Up The Pieces 3. Lady Marmalade 4. Mediterranean 5. I Can't Turn You Loose 6. I Won't Last A Day Without You 7. High Above The Andes 8. Bird Of Beauty 9. Guava Jelly

goodbye for about a week of so;; i am going on vacation;; and since i can't remember my password;; i will be absent.. since my son-in-law RUNS/Manages an APPLE/i-Pod store;; i will be reluctantly playing with HIS blings;; but i will have my Hi-MD900 with me to show off (in his store).. (( until i am dismissed)).. i probably will be reading the posts;; and if i am able to;; i'll send a "Post-card" via a secret member..

remember;; the senerio is not realistic and cruel;; as cruel as capturing a wild animal and trying to keep it at home and tame it.. (sometimes i feel bad for my wife's INDOOR cats).. i truly believe ALL of us in the Forum/board or what ever this is are special ppl,, not found in the masses.. we all appreciate music of others;; i promise to read the whole article soon;; but so far;; i do not see "realism" or "Rayzism"..

lol,, well ,, now you know why i don't read books;; i would always come to my own conclusion.. an experiment?? i accept the fact that he is great;; and acknowledge the "Beauty" of a "Real Musician";; but NEVER go out of your "satefy Zone" except for an experiment and a Starbucks Coffee.. now;; did anyone capture this on MD/or Hi-MD?? that would have been great.. i'm sure someone must have documented it;; i would demand a "Replay".. one of my fondest memories of a violin was a local violinist/Teacher (Music UNION President) that was always made fun of cause he was sooooooo old;; well ,, to make a long story short;; he played my my parish's choir at Christmas;; and did a "Solo" that sounded like a human voice;; and a baby crying;; it was soooo beautiful;; i had to tell him.. it's really too bad Sony invented the MD thinggy toooooo late.. i actually "Cried" and i DON"T "Cry" for anything (except pain).. he became like a telephone friend for a while;; then died soon after.. well,, anyways;; i (rayzray) wudda stopped and listened to your violinist and would have flipped a "Fin" ($5).. perhaps they should have done a (Part 2) of the expiramint and charged admission to the Mall and gave the money to the Starving children of the world!!

ok,, so i TRIED to read that article;; i just couldn't get through it;; i "Feel " for the viloin player;; but he shudda taken piano lessons.. yes;; we all know i (rayzray) has never read a book in my life;; and that article was kinda like a book.. i WAS interested;; if someone could make a short "review" of it;; it would be great.. i understand the "Feeling" of a great musician not being noticed;; like when i was taking classical lessons at 11 Years old;; NO ONE NOTICED ME;; then i asked my teacher if i could play some popular music;; and after a short "Fit";; my Italian teacher wrote out a quick "fake Music" type song on manuscript;; i went home and learnt it;; and played it for everyone;; and i became noticed.. right then and there i decided to QUIT classical and become a "Pop STAR".. i bet if that violinist would have played some pop music;; he would have been able to feed his family that night.. i couldn't grasp the link of that article to "This is Why we have our Minidisc";; but i will try to read it in parts with a few weeks.. of course i (rayzray) would read it (With my Hi-MD900) playing thru my ear buds at the same time;; probably appropriate new age semi classical music to stay in the mood).. so much trying to "Fit-In" here but yous guys do everything so much different than me;; but;; i seem to enjoy MD's/Hi-MD's and all the quirks and quacks of them much better..

ok;; IF they allow camcorders in;; lol;; perhaps the REAL show is gonna be at MY table;; like usual;; rayzray steals da show;; well;; the most that can phappen is i get arrested and don't have to see the rest of the show.. i can take one of my usual "fits" about sitting at a table with an even amount of chairs;; or not sitting at the aisle seat;; although that IS seat #1.. i guess MD'ing it is first priority;; and video is second;; and not getting arrested is third.. not nessissserily in that order..

Yessss!! i will like them;; i understand enough French to get by.. i can read the rest "between the lines".. like,, i understand that i will be "eating" FOOD at a "Table" while we watch this show;; like,, it will be harder to "Hide" my Hi-MD900 recorder;; unless;; i ask for extra mashed potatoes and build one of my famous gravy spouting mashed potato volcanos.. then hide the Hi-MD unit behind it.. i can hide the flanks with leftover lettuce;; and cover the top with the center-piece..

gee;; what IS Les Nubians;; seems like when i'm in Florida next week;; by daughter said she is "Dragging" me to see Les Nubians at Disney World.. i hope there is NO dancing and audience participation and better have beaucoup of popcorn available.. or,, do i have the artist mixed up with something else.. i WILL have my Hi-MD with me;;better bring extra gummies..
