To all those of you who enjoyed my 'Grin Loud' video, here's another one:
YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement
This is a tune I 'wrote' the other day after Tekker had given me some great advice on Reaper and VSTis. The keyboards are live, as will be obvious, and I recorded it during my lunchtime today, yes I love that lunch break. 
Unusually for me, the guitar is a second take, and I know it could be better. I'm working on being more thorough, but at last, in no small part due to the great people on this site, I'm beginning to get stuff down for posterity!
A little bit of info, the girl holding my guitar is Emily Lu, my assistant, and the pix are all from Yung Jin, where I teach. Everyone is so nice to me here, and the last bit of the video shows what happened when a few of my students came round to my apartment to bring me a Christmas tree.
I've said it before etc...This is a great forum.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Anything I can do, just ask.
Ian

I know it's a big file, but LOOK at these kids, they're wonderful. It's really a pleasure to teach here.
Ian
p.s. I hope no-one minds me sharing these memories, Mod, if it's wrong just tell me.

Thanks for sharing that Ian, that was lovly to watch, everyone looks so happy. Nice playing too. And a fantastic looking axe.
Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.

That was excellent! 
I wish I could finish a song in a lunch break. It takes me forever to finish anything. As it is I have a couple Christmas songs in the works that are already a week and a half to late.

I was just pulling myself together after listening to Damians 'Questions' now this!!!
It's just beautiful, utterly heartlifting, I loved every second of it.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

I don't know what to say to that John,'thank you' seems a little inadequate.
