Had our final rehearsal before our small ren fest season starts. Ready to go and can't wait to get back in front of an audience again.

Saw the most unhinged funeral procession going down the road today. At one point two exotic dancers, at appeared, we're sitting on the windows of a car holding flyers for the funeral, and all the cars were weaving between both lanes. Don't know who died but they were celebrating their life for sure.

After recording a video so I don't lose the really cool dulcimer idea (yes I said really cool and dulcimer in the same sentence) I looked at thr video and slouched on the couch has got to be the least flattering pose I could have done.

I'm a contest between "Go your own way" and "Silver Springs", "Silver Springs", especially the live version, is a better FU song, unless you consider that Buckingham kicked Silver Springs off the album, then Go your own way wins.

Test, or learning canvas, experimenting with a sunset over a forest. Attempting to create depth of field, using different colors. Far and mid fields completed.

Picking up many new followers, I assume from the starter pack I was put on. Probably should post something about me. 14 year ren fest performer. I play hanf drums, native flute, lap dulcimer and timpani. I also direct and play in a performance group Elderwood Percussion. 1/2

It's always good to play with talent. I have the added bonus of being in this thing we call Elderwood Percussion with two truly amazing human beings.

Rehearsal day. Things are going nicely. Can't wait to get in front of an audience again. Forgot to record any of it for a video. Next time.

Before I formed Elderwood, I had this wonderful partner Aubrey the owl. Been missing her and think I need to figure out a way to get that side of things going again.

Well, rehearsal did not happen due to illness, so I spent the time noodling around on some new ideas. Would rather play with the group but and time making music is good time spent.

RDJ should have come back to the MCU as The Mechanic, the AI in the iron man suit for the kid in Iron Man 3, not Dr Doom.

I have reached a point in my internet experience that, with certain exception, when someone, especially a male someone, says they have a podcast, I assume the absolute worst about the content.

I'd like to think that living in "the golden age" would mean that my power hasn't been flickering for the past hour.

Sore shoulder time out has turned into arthritis in the shoulder and physical therapy as well as degenerative disc problem migrating to the neck. Aging is better than the alternative but limitations of this condition is hard to accept. Bright side: rehearsal today which is always a boost.

Doing my annual insurance check up because I hate overpaying. Made the rookie mistake of using a rate comparison site and now I need a new phone number. Every agent in North America has called me

PSA for those shopping at Joann's while they go out of business. That exhausted, near tears cashier is exactly 0% responsible for whatever you felt was wrong during this mess. If you shit your hateful attitude all over them, you are a horrible person. Sorry not sorry.
