NIKKEI AVG

Remember the old joke about where babies come from? First daddy comes home drunk from a hockey game. That's kind of how I made my first GarageBand for the iPad 2 tune.

Let me explain. I report on the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA for a national sports publication. I came home after a game and wrote my article, published it over a couple of glasses of some incredible and cheap organic red wine from Whole Foods.

Was feeling all Pacific Rim and shit. It's about 3:00 AM and this is in the middle of the brief wild stock price roller coaster ride of this past late summer. So everyone was watching the Nikkei to see what the foreign markets were going to do. Did I say I'd had a couple of glasses of wine? Okay. Just checking. 

I'd been pretty intimidated by the iPad and GarageBand and using GarageBand was really the only reason I'd bought an iPad. Nothing like a little alcohol to break the ice I suppose. So I started plunking away on the virtual and smart instruments, with a hip hop beat, of course.

Later, I bought something called an iODOCK by Alesis, Google it if you want to know more. And then I plugged my 335 into a little Vox bedroom amp and added a smokin' hot wif-- excuse me... GUITAR SOLO at the end. Please enjoy frequently!
