Is this really the end of the 7th week of 2009?

OK, I have to admit, I'm doubly shocked at how fast this week has flown by. I thought week 6 was bad. I can honestly say it feels like only a couple of days ago that I sat here and wrote the previous blog post. I've had an average week in terms of production, I haven't had the luxury of full days in the studio as I've had meetings and things. I've also been back in software school trying to learn how to create video collage so I can eventually put pictures to my tracks so I can project them in public places. Learning new software is a massive time-sucker, half day can fly by as you try and get your head round some new interface, coupled with the problem of getting an aging PC to work with ever more processor hungry applications. Needless to say I haven't got any wonderful video clips or tracks to put on this blog. I was certain last week that I would find the time to cobble something together but alas it just hasn't happened. Anyway, not to be downbeat, the work I'm putting in now in learning this stuff will enable me to realise a lot of the ideas that are floating around my head. It may be slow but it will be worth it in the end. I just apologise to anyone who's been following this blog with the hope something interesting might happen, all I can say is that it will but I have no idea how soon. 

Having said that I was sent a link to a YouTube clip that syncs up Coonskin with part of an old radio mix I did back in the 40's. According to it's creator it's just an experiment and I think it kinda works in places, I'd like to see the whole 1 hour mix done like this (that would save me a tonne of work).
