I "just did" 20 audio sketches , I won't really call them songs although there typically 4 instruments on each . eventually they may becomes full fledged songs and an EP .. but it will only be for close friends and family. I'm a firm believer in leaving something of you on this plane before moving to the next . Hopefully smiles and good vibes .. All the instruments I've built will live on in obscurity in their artist homes..but my spirit will always be in them

The ad work at least I get paid for.
In 5 years, 17,000 people in various places in the world have listened to my electronic music record on Spotify, which is nothing. Most of that was on its release because it's got cool artwork. A handful still listen occasionally.
This magnificent audience has earned me enough to buy one hot dog at a diner. Maybe. If it's a really inexpensive hot dog.
I am, too!
I've created lots of commercial music. No one cares, it's a 'what have you done for me lately' business.
People listen to music they want to hear. I can leave mine behind, but it's like leaving a poop collection behind. Not all that interesting to most people.
The guitars you've built are undoubtedly far more interesting, which is a good thing!
What's idle cash?
I do - dying is kinda depressing! That's why most people don't want to do it.

I do buy things, but shopping's an off-ramp/diversion from meaningful activity.
What I mean is, I don't get a feeling of accomplishment from going shopping and buying something. It's as unimportant to me to collect a buncha gear as to collect a buncha toothpicks.
I have to do something with this stuff or it's just more junk.

I am more than willing to store some of your "junk" down here
See problem solved
I hope that was a Coney Island dog….The ad work at least I get paid for.

I fully admit to regularly engaging in retail therapy. Not proud of it, but I too have lots of junk.
A polite interruption...you gents are creative souls with a musical talent that actually eclipses most people, you probably need to be reminded of that sometimes.
Creative people should be treasured, you need to do to live well and to be happy, anything else that comes from it is just a lovely bonus.

One up, no onions!
You're right, of course.
Though getting paid to do the work does add to the 'treasured' part, or at least to the treasury!

I read that every time you eat a piece of chocolate it takes 2 minutes off your life.
I did the math.
I've been dead since 1972.

How big is "a peice"?
How long did it take you to eat it? 2 minutes? They aren't wrong ...

I heard somewhere that by the time you dream about something happening, you are already over the problem.I had a dream last night that was a little unusual.
I was at the cardiologist, and he was looking over my tests and chart. After a few moments he looked at me and said, "You're doing great. You'll definitely make it to your birthday this year. But...probably not to your birthday next year."
He shrugged his shoulders.
I shrugged my shoulders.
My first thought was, "I wonder whether I should buy more gear if I'm only going to get a few months' use out of it."
When I woke up I started thinking that maybe I should put the money into my pyramid.
This seems to bear that out. Well, except the GAS part.

Some research indicates that cannabinoids, including CBD, may extend lifespan and healthspan in model systems by reducing oxidative stress and triggering autophagy.

Oh, one of THOSE mornings. Sorry man, they suck if you want to sleep a bit more but can't.It's 4 AM. I can't even Just Do sleep.
Cool idea - I'll participate, though probably with like emojis and my usual "I think they are witty, but really they aren't" comments.
Gosh, that seems like an excellent result. I'm happy to hear it.
Great material, great delivery, perfect arrangement and playing. Sometimes the simple spare arrangement (like this) is just what's needed. Thanks for reminding me how good this artist is.
It wasn't a matter of sleeping more, it was a matter of not even starting to be able to sleep! I guess it happens.
I just finished a book on what's known about the rank and special duties of the Centurion in the Roman military. I thought it was interesting.
Short book, though. I got through it in a couple of hours. I guess there wasn't all that much to say.

I drank the PRS kool aid, and it was tasty!
I’m dealing with cancer now. Aside from the radiation + drug side effects, all is good, except for the gig I had to play sitting in a chair because of the excruciating pain after 4 procedures at once.
