For about 8 years, I went into a studio roughly every 6 months and recorded a new album. Back then I had a low-paying job (I am currently unemployed, having been fired for refusing to take the “vaccine”) and so had a miniscule budget. Fortunately, I knew Brian Speaker. Brian, a singer/songwriter himself, was also … Read More

Standard Time, Year Round, Please
Switching to “day light savings time” year round is being proposed in the U.S. Soon as I saw this, I thought, “No”. From what I can tell, a bunch of scientists are saying “no” as well. This from the Washington post: While no time system will be perfect for everyone, making daylight saving time permanent … Read More
The Revenge of Analog, by David Sax (Book, 2016)
This is a book that I am currently enjoying reading. Early on, David discusses the returning interest in vinyl records. He moves on to Moleskin notebooks, film, and board games. That is as far as I have gotten. I do not believe the book contains anything about sound recording using analog equipment, but I have … Read More
Friends (?)
Some of my old friends have stopped returning my email(s), knowing I am not “vaccinated”. Some of my old friends have continued to converse with me. When the smoke clears, I will remember who did what. If sincerely apologized to, I’ll forgive and all will be as before. (I’ve made numerous mistakes, had to … Read More

Bitcoin, Mars, and Our Future (Part 1?)
Bitcoin. Hold it too long and you will end up with nothing, in regard to it’s value. Soon as the power goes out, and especially once it stays out, the only thing left will be all of the damage done by using extensive amounts of energy (coal, etc.) to “mine” this cryptocurrency. I am not … Read More
Blogging Consistency and A Plan
There have been blogs I have checked regularly, where, if they did not post for a while, I’d stop checking them, or I’d check less often than I initially was. Some people, James Howard Kunstler being one, post on certain days. I always know I can count on a new one by James on Mondays … Read More
Good ole Food Stamps
I have been unemployed for 6 weeks now, fired for not complying with the “vaccine” mandate. I first applied for food stamps ie. SNAP about 5 weeks ago. I did it online and sent the paperwork to Albany. I was supposed to send the paperwork to a local branch. I discovered this weeks later. My … Read More
Ordinary Man
I no longer lie to myself, telling myself that I am special. I now tell myself the truth, which is that I am ordinary. In the end, that is what all humans are, and that is good enough.
