Paul-61 is DEAD!

Alright Calm down, I am not really dead! I just got tired of my old nicname. So the only way I could use my new nicname was to register again. Which is now analogcontrolfreak. Which I will be using from now on. I have sent an email to Nigel asking that he delete my old memebrship status. Also I had to use my alternate email address in order to register, since my current email is still on file. Now that I have done this I am back to Junior Member ship status instead of Member.

Why the sudden chnage in names you might ask? Well I am going to tell you. You are prorbabbly wondering how on earth did I come up with this name. Easy it just poped into my head when I first regeisterd on Yahoo! I left Yahoo becuse I thought a group had left. Little did I know that I could not use my same nic name to set up a new account. So over there I am analogsynthfan.

Besides geeting sick of my old nicname, I started to get sick of my own behavior on here. But that is all going to change, besides I need to ligten up on here.

Here is a bit of inforamtion for any new memebers, or memebers that I do not know.


I am 34 years old, I work at a private Reception Facility that spelcializes in Weddings, Meetings and Parties. I live in Frederick Maryland and own my own Condo. I have lived here for 3 years this comming June. I am a huge fan of synthesizers especially analog synthesizers hence the nicname. Over the years I have been through my share of keyboards. Thriteen at the last count. I have a tendency to buy and sell them. Okay call it an Obsseion My cureent synth is a Roland Juno-D, whcich I purchased last month. Of course it is not an analog synth. That was the old me who bought it. The new me would obviously have bought an analog synth. Woops! I seem to have gone off on a tangent. Now where was I? oh yes now I remember I was talking about me. Now I never consider myself to be a great musican, but a fair ameture one at best. Actually I have more fun just messing around with synths.

I also have three synth based websites.

Synth-freak2.00 is my main site.
Paul's Poly-61 page is for the Korg Poly-61.
ARP Fan Club is for fans of ARP synths.

Well enough about me. You talk about me for a while. Ha ha! Just kidding!

Anyway I tend to get silly or weird don't worry that just who I am.

Remeber if it ain't broke your not trying hard enough!

I'm pulling for you. Were all in this together.

Scary post title--Next time I go to Frederick, you can buy the beer. Hey, you're only about 70 miles from me, and a free beer is always something to look forward to.

No! I was pulling a Chandler from Friends, when you mentioned my bad spelling.

I tend stay way from Religion.

Yup, you have to check your spelling man.
Here's an example,
Try reading this:

"iH my nmae si Pual!
I rleya like paling synhts."

See what I mean? The pain you put us through when we have to read your threads?

LOL

-ED- (Formally known as -ED-)

Oh! Like yours is any better? Okay so I don't always check my spelling, when I am typeing. What do you expect when my brain works faster then my hands. It's even harder since I do the old hunt and peck way of typeing on a keyboard.

Gee, I'm surprised you even responded to my post Ed. I thought you got tired of my [CENSORED].

Actually my spelling is better then yours. Jokes aside, but read your own posts and then compare them to my posts and you will notice a very significant and obvious difference.
Mind you I can’t even see what I’m typing. You can!
So there are no excuses for your pathetic and incoherent mumbling anymore.

First of all you always go on about yourself without even thinking through what you have to type about , second it comes out as pure nonsense and is very hard to decipher because every other word is misspelled.

Grammer doesn’t matter to most of us here, since not everyone even speaks English as a first language. Since this is a free public forum it only makes sense to type in free form allowing for the natural flow of the conversation.

Spelling is something you might want to work on though. At least read your own stuff before posting. You’ll realize just how bizarre your own writing can be.

-ED-

BTW I admit, reading about your delemas got a bit boring.
But I took a little break and now I'm ready for more!

Cheers man,

-ED-

I'm sorry, I did not realize this was a problem. I guess I don't stop to think about what I have written. Maybe I should not post at all? Or at least until I have something worthwhile. Which is almost never!

NEVER GIVE UP .... NEVVVvveerrr Give Up!!

I just read this story about a guy who's mind and speech has been shut down for 9 or 10 years due to an accident and...

Just like that, he's functioning again.

??? Hey, someday I will be able to sing Happy Birthday on key ...

Thanks Mr. ED! To bad the story can only be accesd by AOL Memebers. I subscribe to MSN!

Sorry about that. If you're interested in the details, here it is.

Buffalo Fireman Regains Long-Lost Memories
Speaks to Family After 10 Years of Silence

Donald Herbert was 34 when he rushed into a burning apartment building on Dec. 29, 1995.

A Buffalo firefighter who apparently suffered brain damage in a 1995 burning roof collapse and has since been virtually silent and nearly blind had a sudden unexplained recovery on Saturday, animatedly speaking to family and friends and trying to recover a lost decade.
"How long have I been gone?" the puzzled firefighter, Donald Herbert, 44, asked in a 14-hour marathon of hugs, kisses, reunions and conversations with his wife, four sons, other relatives and old firefighter comrades.
"We told him almost 10 years, and he said 'Holy cow!' " Simon A. Manka, his uncle, recalled yesterday. "He thought it had been three months."
In a news conference at Father Baker Manor, a skilled nursing home in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, where Mr. Herbert has been a patient for seven years, Mr. Manka said his nephew - who has passed most days in a wheelchair in front of a television set - abruptly returned to life and "began to speak after nine and a half years of silence."
Pending medical tests, Mr. Manka said, the extent and the probable duration of Mr. Herbert's recovery are unknown. "However, we can tell you he did recognize several family members and friends and did call them by name."
It happened out of the blue Saturday morning, a nursing home employee said.
"I want to talk to my wife," Mr. Herbert was quoted as saying. A staff member called his wife, Linda, but it was his youngest son, Nicholas, 13, who picked up the phone and began speaking.
"That can't be," Mr. Herbert said. "He's just a baby. He can't talk."
Nicholas was indeed a toddler when Mr. Herbert, then a 34-year-old member of a fire rescue squad, rushed into a burning two-and-a-half story apartment building in Buffalo on the morning of Dec. 29, 1995. He wore a breathing mask against heavy smoke and was searching the attic for victims when the roof collapsed.

Buried under flaming debris, Mr. Herbert was knocked unconscious and, according to reports at the time, went six minutes without oxygen before other firefighters pulled him free. They carried him out a window and down a ladder, and he was taken to Erie County Medical Center in critical condition.
Mr. Herbert, who had rescued two adults and two small children in a 1990 fire and had many citations for bravery, had severe head trauma as well as prolonged oxygen deprivation and remained in a coma for two and a half months.
An avalanche of cards and letters, meanwhile, was delivered to his wife and sons, Donny, 14; Tom, 13; Patrick, 11; and the baby Nicholas. News articles at the time described Mr. Herbert as a dedicated family man, coaching his children's soccer and baseball teams, taking them hunting and fishing.
Fellow firefighters rallied around the family, helping with the boys, with shopping, with financial help. The outpouring of support included a benefit party, organized by firefighters and other well-wishers, at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo. Thousands attended, and tens of thousands of dollars were raised.
While Mr. Herbert regained consciousness in 1996, his speech was slurred, he was unable to eat without assistance, he was confined to a bed or a wheelchair and his vision was reduced to a series of blurs. Doctors said that they had found no damage to the optic nerves, but that the part of the brain that controls vision appeared to have been damaged.
Moreover, Mr. Herbert's memory seemed all but nonexistent. He could not say how old he was or what his job had been. He seemed unable to recognize family members and friends, and firefighting comrades had become virtual strangers.
In 1999, a year after he was moved to the nursing home, Linda Herbert prevailed in a brief legal fight with Mr. Herbert's parents, Geraldine and Donald P. Herbert, over who should have control over decisions in a medical emergency, like pneumonia or a serious infection. All agreed that extraordinary resuscitative measures should not be taken in the event of a stroke or a heart attack.
But Mr. Herbert's condition remained stable over the years. "He would sit in a wheelchair in front of a TV with no awareness," Linda Herbert's mother, Mary Blake, said yesterday. "He could say yes or no, but he could not put words together or talk back if people asked him a question. Most days, he just sat silently."
On Saturday, as word of Mr. Herbert's progress spread, a stream of visitors arrived at Father Baker Manor for joyous reunions with a man who had seemed lost to them.
For a stretch of 14 hours, Mr. Manka said, Mr. Herbert spoke with people and asked questions, especially about his sons: Donny, now 24, and Thomas, 23, both in graduate school; Patrick, 21, a college student, and Nicholas, 13, a schoolboy but hardly the infant his father remembered.
"He wouldn't go to sleep," said Ms. Blake. "He stayed up all night talking to his sons."
Mr. Manka, a lawyer, said in a telephone interview that his nephew's apparent recovery struck everyone as amazing. "He was completely different," he said. "He was asking questions, and he'd recognize a voice. When somebody came in the room, he'd say the name before anyone told him who it was. He was the same for nine years, and then all of a sudden he started talking."
Patrick J. Coghlan, who was the lieutenant in charge of Mr. Herbert's rescue squad on the night of the roof collapse and who retired in 1999, remembered years of all-but-fruitless visits by colleagues to the nursing home, with Mr. Herbert sitting quietly, seemingly unable to respond. On Sunday, he said, Mr. Herbert recognized the voices of his comrades and, while he could not see them, identified members of his old crew.
No one had an explanation. "We don't know what to make of it," Mr. Manka said. "The doctors haven't finished their evaluation. The doctors are cautiously optimistic, and so are we."
"We have no idea how it happened," Ms. Blake said. "There are more people praying for this young man, so it's all in God's hands. Even if we had him for just one day, we'd be eternally grateful."

Thanks Mr.ED!

You're taking my remarks too seriously. It is a free public forum. Post whatever you want. Just read your own posts to make sure that they are easy enough to read. SOme of your typing gets really wacky!

Cheers,

-ED-

I will try to do better.

Eye couldn't help noticing that you used a right-eye wink at the end of your statement.

IMO, it would have been better to use a left-eye wink.

Yessss Dear..

What the?

Yes, its true.

I married MrsEd, my psychologist, my psychiatrist...

OOOOKKKKKKKAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

Wow ED I never noticed before that people on here could not follow my posts. Did not mean to confuse everyone on here. I have very iractic thinking. That could explain why I am fascinated with Modern Art. Especially 20th Century Art.

Anyway I will try to be more coherent in my topics and check my spelling AND grammer.

Curse my Lysdexia!

Hey confident Paul,
Do you know of any websites where I can find some tips and information about mastering/final mastering?
I've been editing my stuff for ages, but lately I've been trying to find ways of improving in that area. So far my EQing and stereo imaging sucks. I think it does anyway....
Wow, may be I too lack confidence?
Hmmmm.....

-ED-

I joined an online support group.

BTW: I wanted to appoliogise to you for my behavior in the past. For lashing out at you or for any feeling of resentment that I may have had towards you in the past. I was going to email you, but I do not have your current email address. Plus you do not have it listed in your profile on here.

Paul is not dead. John and George are.

Georg is dead? When did he die?

I think about two years ago? I could be wrong though.

Hey, the best men are gone now...Bach is dead, Gershwin is dead, John and Georg are dead...
Well, I think I'm getting ill too...

I have learned to overcome my fears! And started to gain confidence in myself.

That's a very good way!!! And don't forget to live your dreams...
