I know it has been way too long. Life happens. I am looking into starting this thing again and I hope there are some of you still out there. This episode is only to tell you what's been going on in the last 3 years or so. I am working a few different angles to start things off on the right foot and set the pace for some regular episodes.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Georgia; min-height: 19.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Georgia; color: #1a37ef"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://files.studentpilotjournal.com/gco/Podcasts/Files/GCO-13-8-1-11/GCO-13-8-1-11.m4v">Download the podcast</a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37078623-7281542017555009381?l=guitarcastonline.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greg Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03922161987150028160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37078623.post-5824334092814652892007-11-09T10:19:00.001-05:002011-09-02T23:18:58.555-05:00Bet you all thought I dropped off the face of the earth. It has been a long time, but you can't keep a good man down! I am in the process of recording some new episodes and rethinking everything in general to help keep the podcast going so I can get back to regular updates. I am currently shopping some sponsors which should help. Hope to hear from some of you to see if you are still out there. Talk to you soon!<br /><br />-Greg<br /><br /><a href="http://files.studentpilotjournal.com/gco/Podcasts/Files/GCO-12/GCO-12-IamStillHere-11-9-2007.mp3">GCO 12: I am still here!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37078623-582433409281465289?l=guitarcastonline.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greg Summershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03922161987150028160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37078623.post-40050432627515128282007-02-18T22:28:00.000-05:002011-09-02T23:18:39.570-05:00<span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://files.studentpilotjournal.com/gco/Podcasts/Files/GCO-11/GCO-11-Delay-2-18-07.mp4">This episode</a> is a beginning tutorial in using Delay.
