PSR Tutorial Monthly Update April 2012
Sent April 30th 2012
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update April 2012 Summary April was a relatively quiet month -- 33 PSR Performer songs, one new lesson, and some utility upgrades were added to the site. Behind the scenes, a new version of FileMaker Pro was acquired and I spent most of the month working through the FileMaker Training Series. I've just about finished that and now I can see how many of the new tricks I've learned I can apply to the databases I use to keep track of things. I am happy to say that Comcast did, finally, resolve the wi...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update March 2012

PSR Tutorial Monthly Update March 2012 PSRTutorial Monthly Report - March 2012 Summary Much of March was dedicated to completing the collection of all the songs from last year (2011), and revising somewhat the collections from the two previous years. The new collection (and the two earlier collections) are available now on 4GB USB drives (see details below). As usual, the PSR Performers continued to share their songs and 76 MP3s (and 10 midi files) were added in March. We even had new styles added - a substanti...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update February 2012
Sent March 1st 2012
Summary February was a short month and this will be a short report. I spent most of this month trying to learn the various new features available in the latest Adobe Dreamweaver web development software. I had hopes of updating the version of the site provided on the USB drive to incorporate many of the newly available features. While I made progress learning some new techniques, it became clear that things illustrated so easily in online video tutorials were far more confusing when attempted on my own! The o...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update January 2012
Sent January 31st 2012
PSRTutorial Monthly Report - January 2012 Summary I hope everyone was able to enjoy a wonderful holiday season and, perhaps, use January to recuperate and get back to a normal schedule. I used the month to put together two exciting new products - a 4GB Styles USB drive and a 4GB PSR Tutorial 2012 USB drive. Details on these two products below. As usual, new songs were added to the site by the PSR Performers. In addition, Daria Rossi added some new style conversions and Michael Bedesem released an update ...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update December Report
Sent January 4th 2012
Summary December is always a busy month. Folks often travel for the holidays, or have visitors, and performing musicians spend a lot of time playing Christmas and New Year's gigs. That is reflected somewhat in our December activities. There were quite a few songs added to the PSR Tutorial Christmas Jukebox, and many more songs were added with new PSR Performers and my own efforts to update a number of PSR Performer pages. In addition, I started in earnest working on a new project for a 4GB Styles USB drive. T...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update November 2011
Sent November 30th 2011
Summary The major event in November, from my perspective, was the decline and fall of my 2008 iMac computer. My constant work horse for the past three years is now gone, but it has been replaced with a newer model. As a result of this computer disruption I was not able to work on the site for half of this month. I was able to use my PC to read and respond to email, but the software that I use to maintain the web site was on that iMac and so major changes were not possible. Nonetheless, we were able to make so...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update October 2011
Sent November 1st 2011
Summary As usual, there were new MP3s added in October as well as new PSRPerformers. Most of my activity, however, was in the background as I worked to reduce the amount of online material, primarily MP3 files. But in spite of the trimming, we still had to expand available disc storage (from two 80 GB drives to an 80 GB and a 200 GB drive) to handle regular backup activities (daily, weekly, and monthly backups of the entire site). In addition, we installed additional security software to block attempted attac...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update September 2011
Sent September 29th 2011
PSRTutorial Monthly Report - September 2011 Summary Thanks to our PSR Performers, we were able to add a number of songs in September, and, thanks to Onacimus, even expanded our style offerings. However, most of my activity was not focused on expanding PSR Tutorial web content. My wife, Joyce, had her hip replacement operation on the 6th. That operation went well and, after a couple days in the hospital she was able to come home. While the doc wanted her walking right away, that is, up and moving every ho...
PSR Tutorial Monthly Update August 2011
Sent September 1st 2011
PSRTutorial Monthly Report - August 2011 Summary Can August be over already? This last month seemed to have flown by. Lots of activities for the Waters' family, but few of them dealt with the PSR Tutorial web site! Early in the month, my son visited from Dallas and we all attended the baptism of our latest grandson, Max Thorsen, in Charlottesville, VA. The following weekend, Joyce and I headed off to Virginia Beach for a vacation with the three grand daughters that culminated with a day at Busch Gardens ...

PSRTutorial Monthly Report - July 2011 Summary We are right in the middle of the vacation season and, as usual, things are relatively slow. There was only a small addition to Lessons and no changes to the Utilities or Styles Sections this month. We did, however, receive new MP3s from 8 performers. While onsite activity was relatively low, there was quite a bit of background activity, both for myself and the Forum moderators. And, we did have some sad news this month. Details are provided below. Song...
