That's great, joeactor! 

Thanks!

also my first time doing 3-part harmony ;-)

. . . my first time doing 3-part harmony ;-)

Impressive for a first effort. I've always had trouble singing harmony--much easier on an instrument, at least for me.

I found a video with the parts on YouTube. The hardest part for me is hearing the parts once they're already mixed.

At least with an instrument you can play the part. Gotta learn to play something some day!

Have you posted any of your music, Rec?
Would love to hear...

I've never made any recordings, and don't play much anymore. I should get back into it.

It's a great creative outlet, imho.

You know, blowing leaves with that  huge hairdryer awful machine does look like fun, though.

It seems like the economy is too volatile right now and getting worse. Success from nothing nowadays requires a lot of risk, which means that it's near impossible to become a stable company from scratch. Back when the economy was more fluid, when it wasn't so top heavy, new companies could suffer a few mistakes and failed risks. But now, new companies have to play a near perfect game just to keep afloat.

True... A shame so many good ideas get buried.

At first I thought this was another joke post. But then as I read I started to get a hold that this was serious. Pebble is a good name for a company, it's too bad they went under.

The watch has a lot going for it. Features you can't find in other smartwatches. I'll keep mine until it dies or the lack of updates bricks it.

It's a great watch, and I will miss mine when they fail. I'm hoping that another watch close to as good as it pops up since I don't see any out there currently that I think are as good.

Same here... hoping that Fitbit makes a new smartwatch and at least pulls over Pebble's apps and watch faces.
