Classic DF – 12/13/99
Dec. 13, 1999: DF News– Got a brand new drum machine/sequencer, Boss DR-202, which I’m going to start employing into my music schemes. I chose the 202 for its excellent sound quality and its compatibility with my software. I think it is an excellent choice and I tried it out at the store first. I was more then impressed. You can sequence an entire rythm section on the machine. Needless to say I’m very happy. We’ve started making Christmas and New Year’s plans. It’s going to be a very busy holiday season this year and hopefully everything will go well. I love Christmas. It’s my favorite holiday of the year and I always look forward to it. The flAnnel-fAm is going to start decorating this week. I love it when the house is all trimmed for the holidays. That is when it truly feels like home, when everyone comes together to celebrate. I’m also looking forward to the New Year and finding out what is and is not Y2k compliant. I hoping my 202 is… LOL.
