As much as I would love to join, tomorrow night is opening night for our local AAA baseball team (Columbus Clippers ) and we have very good seats.  My sons and I are kind of sports nuts and we do a lot of this type thing throughout the year.  I did go and sit in with a local band on Monday night and got to play along and learned a bunch in a few short hours.  They were kind of having a memorial for one of their own who passed away last week.  I didn't realize until I got there that they expected me to be the singer for the evening.  My buddy says they were auditioning me!  LOL  Have fun all tomorrow night.  I will catch up with you one of these sessions.

Amy; just saying, you "might" be spoiled!  In a good way, of course!

Hey M.B.  I have the Shure SM 58 for voice recording and use a Shure SM57 for miking my accousic.  Both came highly recommended to me by others and have seemed to serve me well.

Thanks for the replies!  My cables are definitely not the "cheapest", they are professional low line noise cables from Shure.  My house is new in the last year, but I will check my power supply.  I don't plug in my accoustic, I only mic it so there is nothing going on in a guitar.  I appreciated everybodies responses as I didn't have a clue, but will continue to seach for the mystery; and sweetmix4u; No you didn't post too much, thanks.

thanks to everyone for their feedback.  It seems to just be there as soon as I turn on the amp with mic's plugged in.  I have moved it around the room, used a different plug; put it close to the plug, far away from a plug, have yet to roll up the excess chord and try that.  I have takent this several times to the nursing home, the senior center and other places and didn't have this problem there.  If only my cell phone or Wifi signal could be here so strong in this little creek valley.  Thanks for all the replies.  I will endeavor on!

Hey M.B.  I am not very advanced either, so maybe subconsciously I was hiding.  the Bass is not about my voice, but more about me being a bass fisherman and the Viking part is just part of an old high school mascot thing.  Was fishing once with someone who competed against in school and he said something like, "Yea, that big a s s viking outfished me again and it kind of just got shortened to Bass Viking.  I am pretty sure that what I am doing is picking the bass string of the open chord and then doing a down, up, down, up and then repeating.  I think!  Strumming is the one part of all of this that has left me a little confused, but I seem to be getting sounds to come out and I really like what I am doing.  Oh, by the way, thanks for the comments, it is appreciated.

Good Work Joe!  so pleasant to listen too, great picking and the props are fun!

thanks Joe and Daddycool, I am having a lot of fun with this music stuff.  I have met some great folks here on Chordie that allow me to test the waters in ways I never dreamed I would when I started this whole thing a couple of years ago.    Your comments are appreciated.

I agree with Topdown; if I could make a list of those I would love to have a night sitting around listening watching, wlbaye - wayne would be on that list.  I have enjoyed everything I have seen him do.  I guess I am a fan!

I hope you not letting it go to your "brian" was not the start of what happens with those blonge highlights and just a slip of the fingers!  LOL
