I will use my Collings OM1A. By the way I borrowed a friends M-Audio Firewire 410 and have a new Web Cam so I am starting to have fun recording some guitar videos on my own here with some of my songs. I will try and put one out here soon.

I have been trying different guitar strings, I tried mediums on my Collings OM1A from Martin but did not really like them. I am trying light gauge again from Elixer nanos. Hopefully they will last longer.

The Web Cam has been very helpful in arranging also because it helps me remember things I wrote rather then have to write out a note at a time which takes forever.

Recording of new Hymns CD coming along great. Using my Collings OM1A and am going to use Medium strings for more bass and depth. Using a KM184 mic and Rode mic which is working. Wish I had a better preamp but am using Mackie 1604 which is pretty good and clean but a bit cold sounding, not bad though.

We ran out of NorthWest and Wood CDs at Amazon but I am going to send a bunch more to Amazon shortly. So thanks for emails on that and the interest out there on those 2 CDs

Got to watch some filming of movie "Soul Man" on Beale street with Justin Timberlake. Looks to be a great movie when it comes out.

Got to take tour of Gibson Guitar Factory.  Heard some great Blues guitar including some great fingerstyle blues

and Delta Blues. Great stuff.

Got a few requests for tab on my Hymns including " A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" I am working on the tab and a song book that will be for sale on my web site later this year along with CD.
