I see very little flaming at this place, (or at least it's not tolerated..)
Are discussions about music allowed here?

I write all the music, lyrics and do all the arrangements..
The vocalist is Dwight + a couple lady vocalists who have done some demos for me..
I'll give SOS a listen in the next few days..

But I have alot of upper respitory damge from nitrogen dioxide exposure when I was young.. (That comes from corn..)
I grew up on a farm and part of my responsibilty was empting out the silos for the cattle and that meant usually 1-2 hours daily inside of a silo forking a few tons at a time out of it and then later taking it to the cattle. (All silos are sealed now and it's illegal to enter one when filled, they didn't know the danger then though..)
So that was pretty much a daily thing from about age 10-15 so I have got sort of an emphasema condition from that so singing's really out of the question for me..
My singer Dwight is great though and his voice fits the songs better than mine ever would anyway..
I've gotta run a few errands so I'll give SOS a good listen later on today..

No, no pain in talking or really any, and I'm not really sure it's emphasema either, because I've been quite athletic most of my life. (A doctor friend who specialises in that field tells me this is what it is though..)
I first became aware of it at about 15 when I played basketball.. (I would just become dizzy and disoriented so I couldn't compete at a high level..) If I try to sing I run out of breath quickly to the point I have to stop or pass out.. Like I said, I had a voice at one time, there's really nothing left to it..)
The corn ferments in silos and a person would always feel intoxicated after working in one. It actually produces several types of harmful gases but the damage done besides to the lungs, is to this tube that I cannot find the name of (or rememeber at the moment)
It's irreversable and just leaves singing out of the question.. But like I said, it's not that big of a deal..

Boy, you want into the major leagues now don't you?? (That's some great work Chris..)
I lisyened to "Good-bye" first, like the harmonies much, was trying to pick out an acoustic rythm but couldn't quite make one out.. (only can lo-fi, is there one there??) the lead guitar work is great, not overpowering like you hear so often, but perfect for the song.. )Who's the lead vocalist??)
"You're S Star" came up next, reminede me a bit of The Bangles, but with more of an edge.. If the lead vocalist could gind it a bit more towards the end it add to the song, but it's great just the way it is.. (Cool lead guitar work again..)
Then I heard "Stuck In A Rut" and it's cool like the others, I just with I had better streaming..
Oustanding work Chris.. (And this is only one of your bands???)
Very good..

|

It's harvested in the late fall and the entire stalk is ground up into small pieces by what's called a picker. A few steps later it end up in what's called a silo which are a cylinder type structure, out made from cement block, about a 20 foot diameter and the 4 we have average about 40 feet in height..
When it goes into the silo it's green and it has to be done in a very methodical way.. (meaning it's stacked or packed dpwn correctly tp lessen spoilage..)
A fresh silo will have litte spoilage but when it empties and you have to open a new one, the top 2-4 feet will not be fit for consumption and if the edges are not packed properly, that will not be usable..
It teand to be lighter at the top but near the bottom it becomes much more moist from the rain, ect, amd the odors can becomes overbearing in a short time..
So it's a natural fermentation I guess.. But that's how you keep cows fed through the winter months when they must remain indoors, if you want to keep them healthy and able to produce large quanities of milk..
(So I hope thatanswers that question..)
Thanks for the compliments on my music Chris.. (I'll be lisyening to more SOS and the music on the other link to..)
You gotta great sound Chris..
