Former tech journalist of 20+ years - still dealing with that trauma in therapy, here now for the shitposts and wry observations on life, mostly NSFW. Definitely not for minors, of interest to miners, or relevant to mynahs either. Dare to be stupid.

I'm a #boater, and a #blues and #gospel #musician. I dabble in #webdesign and #wildlife #photography. At least, those are the things I'm most likely to post about. Also play #boardgames in my "spare" time, but don't have much of that. I was born in 1948. Last paid full-time work: 1998. No paid part-time work since 2009. Now live on the edge of a #village on the #coast of #Norfolk, close to the #norfolkbroads. #fedi22

Back in the #1970s I set up a #onemanband. #JesseFuller was my #inspiration and his Fotdilla. My equivalent were self generating bass #pedals. I upgraded over years. The ELKA SGP150 were the last set. They died around 2014.
I bought #Studiologic MP-113 MIDI pedals as a replacement with a Midiplus MiniEngine sound generator, but the combination never worked well so the band's been in abeyance since then. I always claim the band broke up due to #musical #differences
Last week I #discovered the #Behringer Pro VS Mini, a pocket sized #synthesiser. The one man band could be on the way to performing again.

Forgotten R&B singer George McCrae in 1974 sang one of the first disco songs to ever hit #1, inadvertently igniting Seventies-long disco inferno that swept the USA for better or worse. Here he is singing "Rock Your Baby" on The Midnight Special
