Hi.  What's happening?  I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and he asked me where I                               recorded my music.  Actually, I've had quite a lot of you , in the last couple of months , asking me
the same question but really didn't think about it that much.  That's what I get for thinking.
  He was surprised when I told him that I recorded everything in my living room.  What?  Well, it's true.
I use two softwhere programs.  The first one is called Logic, which was developed and released by Apple a few years back along with new upgrades every other year or so. It is a very sophisticated and complex program that is used by professional recording studios throughout the world, as well as lowly musicians like myself.  After two years of using this program, I feel that I learned about 5% of it! Believe me, it's complicated!  However, a very long time friend of mine who is extremely computer literate, tells me that complex systems in other disciplines are of the same difficulty.  The vast majority of people who use these systems only use specific areas that they need for their work.  The rest of the program they don't need or use.  They are simply too complicated.  So now I don't feel so bad. Thank goodness, for awhile there I thought one  of my longtime favorite sayings, "Never feel useless, you can always be used as a bad example" was applicable to me!  Ahh, that's showbiz.
  The second program I use, is called Addictive Drums, which is very cool, but again, complicated. However, I'm getting better at it.
  I was also asked by my friend, who were the other musicians on my recordings. Alas, it's just me.  I play all guitar and bass parts as all as all keyboards, and then using Addictive Drums, add the percussion sequences I need for any of my songs.
  Since I do all of this by myself, it has proven to be a very time consuming process.  I am currently working on my next song, and hopefully will be able to release it in the 6 weeks or so---at least that's my goal.  I've had many of you swell people tell me that you're getting a little impatient, hang in there swell people, I'm trying to do my best.  Honest and for true!
                       Take care, be safe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                           Always, my best.
                                                                 Charlie

Beautiful  sunrise here in Boise today, yep, I'm back to let you know I can really shake 'm down---hum might be a song in there somewhere,  Anyway,  I've returned from my little hiatus and I am ready to get back to work!  I would like to thank you all for checking in to see what condition my condition was in--wait a minute---I know there's a song in that one!  I was quite surprised that so many of you did! Doesn't anybody have to work anymore? But it was nice, and thanks again.
  I'm about halfway through the current song I've been working on, however, because of the holidays, the vocal glitch, and my vacation, the project kind of stalled.  But now I'm back on track and happy to report I spent about 10 hours this past week attempting to get my chops back on the gitar---that's how they pronounce it down Sowth you know.
  I have a lot of work to do, and I'm ready to do it!  Please be patient.
  On a somewhat more personal note, my very longtime wonderful friend Terry Miller [ T.T. Miller]
informed me that our longtime mutual friend Terry Arp died after a long battle with cancer. His service was last Friday, but I had just returned from my vacation and was not aware of his passing. Terry was a terrific person---one of the good guys!  He was also an excellent guitar player, and he will be remembered.  My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.  Keep on play-in' Dude!
  That's it for now, will be around and in closer contact with you all.
                                                                         
                                                                       Thanks again for your interest!
                                                                                        Yours, C.F. Coe

 

Well, here we are, another new year. Hope last year for all of you was great !  We all wonder,   where did last year go?  Myself, I was just trying to survive-- and I made it.
  So, now what?  I had many great comments from all of you, and no negatives--perhaps  I should start a new religion.  It worked for God's child we know.  However, I can't even get a single number on power ball, so I guess I won't  go there.  With good reason I'm sure.
  Most of us, throughout the world, have a fairly good life, but like most of us we worry about those .\,..,,who don't. There are simply so many of us, and this needs to be addressed.  When will our leaders,start the discussion, and if not now?   WHEN?
  Regardless of the naysayers, obviously there is something going on with our global climate change.
 Here in Boise, I've seen the changes literally about every decade for the last fifty years, and all of us who have lived here during those years would agree,  I am sure   I know ----
  one thing, we all have the ability to change --- and that's  our only salvation for us and our  only world!
         TAKE CARE, BE SAFE,  LOVE  to ALL

Paul Revere's Celebration of Life

Since Paul's funeral service last Monday, Iv'e been trying to think how I thought about it all.  It's been difficult.  The service was a beautiful tribute to Paul and his wife Sydney.  Immediate family and his Raiders were also there.  It was somber of course, but also illuminating and quite funny at times.
  Several speakers related their personal thoughts and experiences they had with Paul, some serious and some 180 degrees from serious. Well, that's showbiz.                                                                                                                                      
   A couple of days ago, I suddenly had a thought. Well, it does happen occasionally.  Paul had turned 76 years old this past January.  The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th,1776.  Most likely, many of you out there had already thought of this, but for me, I  thought what a fitting tribute to remember Paul as 'The Spirit of 76". I loved the man, and all he was!
    In closing, I still think the Nampa-Caldwell blvd. should be renamed Paul Revere Blvd. Spread the word gang!                                                                                                                                              
                    later, Charlie

Another thought about Paul.

Since Paul had strong connections with both Caldwell [basically his home town,he grew up there ] and Nampa,  I think the two cities should come together, and rename the Nampa-Caldwell corridor ---------"Revere Drive" what do you think about that!

Revere Memorial

Hi fun seekers.  Though this isn't fun, I needed to tell you about Paul's funeral status. I went to The CATHEDRAL of the ROCKIES where the memorial will take place this coming Monday. Oct. 13, and was told that parking will apparently be a problem.  Boise High school will be in session and it has dedicated parking for a four square block area where the church is located, and they expect upwards of 1500 people to attend. They also said that many of Paul's fans were coming from all over the U.S.! I   think that's very nice.  SO!  The service begins at 1:00 pm. If your'e thinking about going, better get there early because of the parking problem.
  If I find out any more details, I'll be sure to pass them along. Thanks for responding so well to my last message about Paul, he was a dear friend and I thoroughly admired and respected him---ROCK the Angels my friend!
                             Later, Charlie
                                                             

 hi gang,  just heard my long time friend and boss Paul Revere passed on yesterday. Don't know any details at this time. He was seriously ill for quite awhile, and he and I had some private and meaningful discussions about it ---and they will remain private.
  That's all I have for now, be back later.                                                                                  
                                                                 Thanks,            
                                                                              Charlie
