Music Focus

I just finished a nice large (24" X 36") painting. I am at work now. I will post it soon. I have plans to load new pieces on Etsy. My basement is transitioning between my show and a show for my uncle's work. My wife just left for three weeks in Bulgaria- studying and singing. I am looking to make some new recordings for Reverb Nation. I am looking around for an inexpensive $200 to $500 microphone to spice up my recordings. I would appreciate any suggestions. Hovering around 9.5 million dollars in Zinga Poker. No photos this time. I just wanted to keep in touch.
