Hello All

[tunesforyou]

My name is Linda Knutson. I am a displaced northerner living in Lakeland, Florida. I'm thrilled to have found this forum. Hopefully, I'll be just as thrilled after sharing some of my songs!

I started playing the guitar in my 20s (my father always says I was a late bloomer). I've written poetry all my life. I actually wrote my first song when I got frustrated trying to play all the crazy chords in other people's songs. I tend to think I sing fairly well, I play at the guitar and I write some pretty good songs. If I had to corral them into a genre, I guess I'd say my style is country, modern folk, singer/songwriter. I'll be interested to see what you all think.

I don't know how to do all the fancy mixing and production type stuff you guys seem to do so well. I record directly to my computer using an old Pioneer tape deck as the conduit to my computer, with my voice on one channel and my guitar on the other. No, I don't record to tapes. The tape deck is just a way to hook up a mic and guitar and get the sound over to my computer. Then, I use some very simple software to clean up and balance out the two tracks. Pretty simple stuff, I know. But, most of my songs lend themselves well to simple voice/guitar recordings. So, it works out okay for me. Maybe some of you can help to bring me more into the 21st century! LOL!

Anyway, it's nice to meet you!

Thanks you guys! And David, I'm pretty sure I'm no angel, but Florida can be hell at times! So, guess we have something in common!
