Here’s what happens when you horde long enough, someone someone comes along and makes a museum out of your stuff! The Swiss Museum of Electronic Music See a video tour here. The synth stuff is all interesting. What you barely see in the video is all the vintage organs, and a lot of vintage audio […]

Read what Nataly Dawn had to say about the Small Business Musician.
Spring doings…
Much has gone on here this spring. In the Frugal Studio, completed recording and editing an audio book for a local company earlier in the spring. More on that when it goes public. On the live front a whole bunch of shows have come through the local venue. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ricky Skaggs, Leo Kottke, […]
Winter Work
Well, fortunately it hasn’t been too slow a winter for the Frugal Audio Guy. Completed installation and testing of the Midas Pro3 consoles in the small room at the local venue. Followed by two New Year’s Eve shows with Eddie Money and a New Year’s Day show with Little Feat. Still sussing out a gain […]
Doings at the local venue
Been pretty busy locally. A billiard tournament, show with Paula Cole, and seven shows with Frankie Avalon. Now in the big push to get things ready in the small room before New Years Eve. Floor stripped and painted, new Midas consoles. Details and pictures soon.
More on the local gig…
So the local venue has kept me pretty busy of late. I’ve been working full time on an install project in the small room. Basically installing more permanent cabling and patch points for audio (analog & digital), com, lighting control, and data. This along with some acoustic treatment, new soft goods, and a dimmer rewire […]
QSC & Mackie?

Really, has Mr. Mackie designed anything that could be called anything positive (except possibly affordable) in the last twenty years? Sure, the old Tapco […]
Filling in the gaps…
So while things were slower than usual in the past year or so there have been some interesting things happening in Frugal Land. At Frugal Control I’ve had a few projects come through. Late in ’09 I did some interesting dialog cleanup for a documentary on 9/11. I also provided mastering services for the second […]
So what have you been up to John?
Scrolling down you can see that posts from the old tour blog stopped more than a year ago. So what’s happened since? Most obviously I haven’t been touring with John Michael Talbot. But, JMT fans rest assured. John Michael is still out there and going strong. He is now doing full time what we did […]
1st of the Ireland logs
Well, home now. Just a brief review of the Ireland trip with JMT. Even though I was at Little Portion I flew separately from John Michael and Viola. I left XNA early on the morning of the 7th flying first to Atlanta, then Newark and on to Dublin. I’ve never flown through Newark before though […]
