I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.
thinking trying fans
Sometimes, I think the way the music business has been destructive and the way the fans are been put through it and try to navigate through it, so much is so foreign to what musicians would actually want to do or what would be natural to them.

We're trying to reduce that and save lives.

It?s a bummer, but it?s football. There are some negatives, like being out the season, but I?m trying to look at the positives.
almost bringing convince examples military reforms trying
When he went in 2001, it was almost exclusively military people. He was trying to convince them of the need for reform. Now, if he's bringing technocrats, he's trying to give examples of how reforms could take place.
guitar magic trying
