Hi Johne,

Nice to see you are back on the site. I have only recently discovered this forum so I spend time flittering around all the different categories.

I have started what I would call a "musical sketch pad' where I lay down pretty basic recordings of anything that I happen to be experimenting with at the moment. I play my djembe then maybe come up with a guitar accompaniment, them maybe add some bass or cabassa. What I end up with is not any defined style but really just a coming together of all the different stuff I have been listening to and therfore influenced by.

So far, I am still learning how to use my digital recorder, (I am pretty slow on the techy side), but I do have a couple of African style tunes that I mananged to capture. Each one is less than a minute long but that is enough for me to go back to in the future and maybe develop them further. If I can figure out how to do it, I will post them here as attachments and it would be nice to hear what you think. (Or anyone else who might happen to hear it).

All the best, Gordon.
