What's your budget? "Not too expensive", means different thing to different people.

This is true. I think I found something,a tascam DR-05 is only 99.00. I can afford that. Thanks for answering my post.

Review some of the thousand or more prior posts on this topic - should give you some ideas.

I'm not a recording expert--far from it--but I've been through several "generations" of amateur recording equipment. Started with a hand-held TASCAM unit. It was amazing for its size. Outgrew that and then used a TASCAM digital recorder/mixer. Fun, but too complicated for not enough pay-off. Finally ended up going the GarageBand-to-Logic route with an inexpensive digital interface and a pretty good (not phenomenal) microphone.

In my experience the hand-held TASCAM units are great "gateway drugs" into the recording world. You love it and want more, more, MORE! Proceed strategically and you'll spend not too much money and have fun.
