Technology baffles me...

Well, sometimes, I can figure stuff out on my own and I find myself pretty smart, but other times, I wonder why I even try!

So I got my new laptop. I got it for recording music really and I haven't been able to do that yet. Dual core processors are supposed to be so fast and great, but appearantly that is not the case if you want to use Pro-tools. It doesn't seem to be compatible. But, on the other hand, I have a very nice computer shop guy (who happens to be my neighbor) who is trying to help me solve my problems. He had my computer for a few days, so no website updates during that time, sorry! It has been very busy here anyway. Also, I am trying, hoping and wishing for Eastlink to hook me up to their high speed internet. I think it is in the works, but I just can't wait!! My internet is so slow when it does work that updating the site can be a challenge.

Last weekend was the Fiddler's Jamboree and the special guest was Buddy MacMaster. he looked quite frail and I understand that he is recovering from sugery but he wanted to come anyway. His playing was amazing and I think everyone who saw him play was in awe.
There were also a couple of Chiquesa gigs and a Fricot show not to mention the parties.... lots of fun. The next few weeks will continue to be busy, but after that ... Finally some time off! September will be the time for getting some practice done and organizing my fall. I can't wait! Hope summer is lots of fun for everyone so far, take care, Anastasia
