My one prized possession...my demo tape (that I lent to someone) I made when I was 19, on a 4-track with my written music has been wiped....I just went to play it, and it has some fucking RnB shit on it.

It is irreplaceable....my teenage legacy vanished..

:cry: :cry:

It has been in the back of my mind for the past couple hours...What annoys me, is that you don't tape over something that you aren't sure of what is on it....the last time I lend anything to anyone....I'm just hanging on a prayer that there is a copy somewhere, that I shall find out tomorrow.

I understand your pain mate.
Some years ago my mother threw away all my teenage writings. Some decent philosophical ramblings and poetry from a naive but active mind.

Awful sense of frustration and anger!
You can never recapture how you felt at that exact moment of inspiration and you can never express the same emotional journey as you will never pass that way again.

Sorry to say mate but it may never go away! It will pop up for years to come.

heheh well that was bloody cheerful!

What kind music did you make at age 19?

The late 90s (how old are you?) were a bad time for music-making, anyway.

'twas 2003 when I was 19, and recording on my 4-track (I'm 25 now)..Me and my buddy could play all instruments needed, except drums between us, and used a computer program (reason) to do this for us....(I can play Guitar,bass and keyboard, my mate was uber-good on guitar, and also could work a synthesiser....we both sang)

I writ all the lyrics and music though...my mate was really the "improvising type" whilst I was the "planner".

Happy days.

How old are you jim? if you don't mind me asking?

I can see a definite talent for the poetical works you have come out with.

EDIT: and you're totally right...you will never be able to capture that purile sense of teenage angst and yearning again...I doff my hat to you, in a sad fashion..

appologies Brother Norse, I am a youthful 34 ;)

Peeking round about the Hacienda years too... hehe mine were spent in random fields and warehouses, skipping past policemen and then watching people in white gloves pee themselves due to excessive abuse.
Ahhh the good old days!

Sounds like my idea of fun....shame the rave scene died out, even in my town they had to put to stop the beach parties.

Still, you seem to have turned out quite well balanced after the madness, brother Jim :lol:

Pain is good. Now you have to make an even better one. Clinging on the past stops your personal growth.

I also feel your pain Norse. I recently put together a CD from old recordings of myself covering 30 years.......I had some from 1977....and some I did last month......Its interesting to hear the changes in your voice, especially on the same song done years apart. I hope you can find a copy somewhere....good luck.

Thanks for all of the nice comments guys. You're right, I should make another one...all I need to do is get some new kit, as I sold most of it off when I was living at my old place.

To a new era!

I'm currently trying to get a copy of a video taken when I played a party using gear I sold off....recently found out I have no stuff on tape of my electric foot bass when I did the one man band thing.....hopefully I can track the vid down...thanx to Divided By Zero I can now extract the audio from them for a CD.

So then glide, what music do you like to play? You look like a blues man.

I can imagine Glide doing a very good Johnny Cash rendition... but I'm probably way off
