Anyone like Impressions?

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Well, today I did something new. I went to the Audiologist (that's fun to say) to get impressions of my ear canal. Why you ask? I have finally decided to order my first pair of custom fit IEM's or IN EAR MONITORS. Recently, I have been finding myself using in ears alot, especially at church. Now custom molded EIM's generally can run anywhere between $400.00 - $1200.00 so it's not really something I have been able to do, however, last time Anthony Evans led worship with us, he told me about some that he uses. They are much more affordable and according to the reviews I have read, they sound and feel great. Getting the impressions done felt wierd to say the least. It was like someone shoved play dough into my ears and I couldn't hear a peep for 5 minutes until it hardened. I absolutely cannot wait to get them in. I'll let yall know when they come in. 

Did I really just use the word yall???

"Locos"

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Well, it's about 1:30am, I just took a shower and am about ready to hit the sack. I am dead tired. Today I got a really cool opportunity to help out my brother in law, Carlos with a gig he had today. You see Carlos is the sound engineer for a local latin/funk/reggae/cumbia band called "Locos por Juana". He goes everywhere with them. He has been to Virginia, New York, L.A. and many other places. Thankfully, I get to help him out sometimes when he has local events with the band and today they had an showcase event at the Seminole Hard Rock. The band is signed with Universal and it was a private event with about 5 really good bands. Actually this was the first time a Latin band is invited to play at this type of showcase event for Universal so it really was awesome to be able to be there. It wasn't too long of a set and I got to mix the last 2 songs (see video below). For the most part, however, I served as guitar/bass tech and helped with set up. 

"Locos por Juana" has gained popularity really quickly and they have worked hard to earn it. They are featured artists on MySpace Latino, have been featured on MTV TRES and were even nominated for a latin grammy last year.
