Howdy friends!
That beautiful Marlen is still teaching me, though I am a slow student. After 17 years in the space biz (and 37 at NASA) I am now having a blast teaching at UC Davis near Sacramento Ca ...

Roy's memory will continue to be blessing to us all, as will you, Laurie. What an amazing couple! You and the family are in my prayers.

Thanks for all your comments - somehow, Mr. Byrd's music just belonged in orbit!
best wishes,
Steve

Ron Whitfield was kind enough to let me know about a recent discussion concerning Jerry Byrd's music in orbit, and I promised to tell the story.

During Mr. Byrd's last days, I sent a card to him an ...

Red was more than a friend - he was an inspiration to me; a portrait of the best that humans can become. His spirit will live on in all of us.

Hi David - sent you an e-mail about the LP-100. Thanks!
Steve

I like the Behringer UCA202 (don't get the 200 - no headphone jack). Simple, cheap, works.

Thanks, gents. Your notes sent me in exactly the right direction. I bought a little Behringer Xenyx802 mixer and UCA200 audio input box for $100 combined and am now happily experimenting away. Sure ap ...

Just got a laptop and here's what I want to do:

I showed a colleague this photo, saying "in space, nobody can hear you scream". He replied, "in this case, maybe we could make an exception".

Guilty as charged. Pushing 35 years of banjo-playing!

James is correct - the beautiful "Spirit Marlen" is well cared-for and much appreciated here in Texas.

Sounds like fun! I lived and played all sorts of bad music in Davis, CA for about 5 years in the 70's. Still love that town!

Yesterday I spoke at length to the inventor of this product (which is much cheaper than it once was, by the way). Just for fun, we discussed at length the concept of applying his technology to PSG. Th ...

At NASA, we're all getting pretty excited about this upcoming mission, so I really appreciate y'all's support. I never cease to be amazed at all the good folks in the steel community.

I WISH I were o ...

First visit to the Dallas show: just amazing music and even better, the incredible people! I think everyone had a blast. If someone didn't, I had enough fun to cover for them too!
