My buddy Sam recently got into GarageBand, the music making software that comes free on every Mac.

Long have I promised myself I would make music myself. Starting today, I’m dedicating 2 weeks to becoming a musician. (Half hour each day).

That should be enough time to become a Brian Eno, ya think?

Welcome to your personal recording studio — where it’s easy to make a song whether you’re a first-time musician or a seasoned pro. With GarageBand, you can create your own virtual onstage band and play along on your favorite instrument. You can record, edit, and mix a song exactly as you want it, in pristine CD quality. It’s the perfect place to get your act together.

I’ll be starting with this free on-line seminar.

I hope to enter a battle of the GarageBands over Christmas. Then post my music here before going on tour. (Distribute the music free, make your money on the concert t-shirts — that’s the new model.)
