About Trip

51 year old father of 4, grandfather of 5 from Detroit. 2 of my 4 sons are in a punk/rock band that plays and records in my basement. I'm a guitarist/singer from waaay back so I thought it a justified reason to interject my nose in my boys' business.
While playing in bands for most of my adult life, I never even approached a PA board or recording unit except for lugging the stuff around.
I've decided that my equipment mule days are over so I've plopped myself down behind the board. So much to learn, so little time. So, that's why I'm here. Besides the fact that the friendliest, non assuming people reside here.
