The other day we were dining at the PhilBrook Museum and the phone interference on their stereo speaker was deafening and highly annoying. They eventually had to turn the speakers off. The waiter looked at us knowingly and remarked, “it’s the phones”…IMHO, it sucks to have to turn off the nice background music for the entire restaurant just because the phones (and my iPhone seems to be a horrible offender in this regard) spew signal like it’s going out of style.

I heard of a “fix” today over on Bubblicious (yeah, it’s a little like duct tape) for stopping speaker interference. It’s a pretty easy adjustment to make when you’re getting crosstalk on your speakers.

• Cut an iPhone-sized rectangle of aluminum foil
• Set your iPhone on it when you aren’t using it

On the eve of my guitar amp arriving (I have been ampless for years), I had a little fun recording some acoustic with the thought that I may never play it again.

Not playing Stairway to Heaven is a guitarist inside joke. Well, at least it was in 1992 when Wayne’s World was made. Oh, apparently it is still alive and well.
