I diasgree. In the 90s a lot of guys learned to actually play instruments and knew more than how to play a drum machine and sample. - Krusty Jan 4, 13:07 12

        i barely use spotify so i don't even know how to do it, but i'll make something, and then we'll muddle through figuring how to get it to you. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:22
      - Good idea. That might be a good way to help. I know a lot but I'm not sure how to pass along the info to help. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:12
