For Those Who Write Original Music...

First - damn, man this thread moves fast. Miss a couple of days and I'm 4 pages behind.

So, 'Dawg, I've been to your sites and all I gotta say is you have creativity coming out of your pores! Wish I had a fraction of it. Not only the story/music, but even the artwork. Impressive. And, you most definitely have a point of view and feel the need to share it with anyone who asks. Ain't nothing wrong with that, you gotta be you. Have you ever done any multimedia? Combining your stories & music along with the art?
Thanks for the excessively kind words Mr. Tom! As I said, music is my religion and you are recognizing that I have been worshiping with passion!! The artwork is very important to me, and in some cases I have spent more time on it than I did on the song!!! As for multimedia, the imagination has that already compiled pieces for many of my works, but none has yet been produced!!!! Right now the focus is on getting my live show figured out and hitting the stage in nuclear fashion!!!!! That itself will be as much performance art as it will be music to some degree!!!!

I wish I could take more credit for what I produce, but it is really just a stream that flows through me! My laziness is why I am not a more advanced musician and have not already produced more, but I can live with that as it was my own decisions on life's choices and priorities!!! I guess my point here is, take what you have and work it like a blacksmith, pound your vision and talents into the shape you want, and know that if YOU love it, you have succeeded!!! And right there, that statement, makes me want to write a song, about blacksmithing your talents!!!! I can barely speak without being inspired to write another song, and it seems to be getting worse/better!!!!

On June 20th, I wrote what I feel is one of my top 5 songs ever, and I can't wait to share it, but I have decided to put out a full album this year and want it to be part of that, so biting my tongue for now. On that album will be the song I am referring to "Livin' In A Snow Globe", "I Wrote My Will Yesterday", "The Devil And The Death Bed" and more!!! Working title for album is "PHA", which is an acronym that will never be explained to anyone for personal reasons!!! Wish me luck and thanks again for your outpouring of support ;~))

I scored a book. Finished it today.

I know, people score movies not books. Sue me.

 
Relegated??? Ha, you can do more on keyboards than any other instruments. Nobody could ever replicate Keith Emerson on guitar! And think about the great bands that were heavily driven by keys, like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, etc.

And now we have the obligatory cow bell!
I'm in. I actually do love playing keys. ;)
 
I’ve probably posted this before. Everything on there is with our former singer, who’s had throat cancer and can’t hardly speak at this point. We just played a benefit for him with our new singer to help with medical and just living costs. We have one new song recorded with our current singer and a couple more that I go in to record guitar tracks for next weekend. Will post some newer material when I’m able.

 
Over a decade old, mostly the same band with a different singer. Never released or even finished really. Have an album called Bitter Ugly Truth on all the digital outlets with horrid artwork that should’ve resembled AB lll by Alter Bridge far before that was released.

This is awesome stuff.

Another terrific piece, and you know I don't say this lightly, since this style of music isn't usually my thing.

Funny enough, it’s barely my thing anymore! More meaning that I only do this style with the band. If I’m at home, I play more ambient style, not very rock. I appreciate the compliments though. If I had more time in life, I’d have a side project. Maybe someday I’ll try to record something but I’m barely competent enough to put scratch tracks together in GarageBand. Don’t even have the time to adequately learn the basic recording end of things. Had plans to buy and learn how to use Logic during Covid but was trying to keep some semblance of the band afloat too. I have so much other stuff I’d like to try to do musically but the rest of life prevents any of that from happening. It’s rather depressing really.

Plenty of time, and you're a pretty young, talented guy. It'll always be there for you.

Good stuff VCHizzle! FYI, on Soundcloud, for related tracks on the left when I was listening to "Black Reign", it showed three Meeghan Thee Stalion songs!! I personally see zero connection, but thought you might want to know who they are promoting side by side with you!!!
