Garm, who knew!? That is awesome!

eTiMaGo · 03-11-2009, 12:30 PM

wow, another side of Garm we knew very little about! What's a flugelhorn like?

I learned to play the piano as a kid, and a few years ago tried to take up bass guitar, but my crappy hand-eye coordination doesn't help much... and I think i'm tone-deaf

Off topic:
He prefers "Rick" now, Garm

...and now that theme song will be stucki n my head the rest of the day.

On:
I'm glad to see the trumpet players come out of the woodworks. I've played since I was a young boy and toured with many fife and drum corps, most notable was the Northern Virginia Patriots from the early 90's to late 90's. At the time, it was the largest fife and drum corp in the nation. Carrying a 4 foot long Clarion down the middle of Pasadena was the highlight of my time with them. Having a United States Army Old Guard teacher was probably the highlight of my years in training. I play to this day, mostly Jazz and Classical, but love to just let the music come out any which way. My son has the bug at the age of 4 now and can realy hold his own. I've been a part of many Jazz bands and symphonic bands from elem. on up. Funny enough, the last time I was in Lebonon, TN (home of the ImportAlliance meet in July) I was there for a symphonic band competition. It will be nice to return and see how things have changed.

Been involved as a musician and engineer since I was a kid. Currently I run a mastering studio in Nashville. Been in the music production biz for 25 years. I'm a part of a multi room studio called Sound Stage Studios. My part is called Final Stage Mastering. Work on all styles of music: country, bluegrass, rock, pop, hip-hop, contemporary christian, gospel, etc... This past year the lp "That Lonesome Song" by Jamey Johnson was an lp I mastered and it was nominated for three Grammys.

Seen it all in my years of studio engineering and mastering. I'll give ya'll a tour of the studios when ya' come to the Import Auto Alliance in July. I'd love to get involved in any yarisworld members production. Check out my website. The address is below.

omg!!! i havn't send u my demo yet.. but im nervous!!

bikegerm · 03-11-2009, 08:35 PM

No need for anyone to be nervous when it comes to playin' their tunes for someone. I know, they're like your babies, but ya' gotta' remember the beauty of any art form is that one man's trash is another man's treasure !! Just like in any "business", if you're afraid to hear "no", you'll go "no" where ! Sounds trite but ask Garm how many people told him they didn't "get" a song he played them only to have someone end up cutting it.

So... Neo drop me a note off topic and I'll set you up a ftp location where you can upload some tunes for me to hear. Garm... as I mentioned before, if you need any of your old dat's or analog masters transfered to disc, let me know, I'll take good care of ya'. I'd love to return the favor....

I miss the sound of the Guild 12 .
Maybe with the money I save on gas I can reunite with one someday.
But yes the Seagull was affordable and sounds nice.

smofskra · 04-03-2009, 04:20 PM

does anyone have pics of them hauling gear (Instruments, Amps, Cabinets, Racks, ect.) in their Yaris? I was able to fit a 4x10 Trace Elliot Bass cab and a Grundorf rack in my back seat and a 1x15 cab in my trunk with no problems at all. I did have to remove the subs in my trunk to fit all that but it was possible.

TinyGiant · 04-03-2009, 04:36 PM
