What are your fall projects?

As for me, the accordion band took August off, but we're back in full swing for fall, with about two performances and two practices per month.

Other projects for me this fall includes a demo for the local Mac club on how I use computers with regards to music. That will include a demo of Garage Band, and how to make your own "instruments" for Garage Band. The example will be how I made a virtual Chapman Stick for use with Garage Band using Polyphontics (http://www.sonicamigos.com/polyphontics.php) and Sound Studio (http://felttip.com/ss/). If there is any interest, I'll eventually release these files, as it's hard to find good-quality and freely-available virtual "instruments" of tapping instruments for use in programs like Garage Band, etc.

I also hope to release a few more videos on You Tube.

So, that's my fall, with regards to tapping, what's yours??

I am set to begin recording the follow up release to One Feather Shy, another album of "genre-indifferent instrumental guitar music" entitled Breathe. Once again I'll be using acoustic, electric, baritone electric, fretless electric, lap steel, baritone lap steel, touch and synthesizer guitars. From a tapping perspective I expect my Warr Artist 8 (http://budurl.com/64by) to be the workhorse. I am excited about the material and looking forward to finalizing it for release.

I have had very little free time lately due to working over, joining a 70s / 80s R&B band (playing keyboard) and doing some video editing.

But I have two orders for cigar box guitars, a short scale fretless bass halfway done, and I would like to build a smaller tapper, 25" scale.
