It takes a lot of smarts to say something genuinely clever and funny ! I got to give it to you , that pun was pretty good Kenny

The townsfolk have developed an appetite for blood after they systematically lynched and eliminated the harmonica, accordion and bagpipe player . Kenny

I have 10 years worth on my music on my Soundcloud page . Most of my time on S.C. for about 8 years was as a paying Pro customer . After missing a couple of months I went to go back to the Pro plan and over a short period of time they wanted twice what I had been paying for the whole previous 8 years of monthly membership fees ( non negotiable) Sure they have a right to run the business the way they see fit .Yet the audacity this company has thinking if I don't get with their agenda simply pisses me off . Having said that It would be safe for me to say I'm not seeing this the way most of the people here that are OK with this are seeing it . For what ever so posed security and peace of mind this way of signing seems to offer it is BS In My not so H.O. I would like to be given a plain and simple choice such as if I want to add their security fine if not let me take my chances . I am not being given a choice between complying and using the app / sign in process . As far as I'm concerned it goes a lot deeper than that for me . If I do not comply with this intrusion I will effectively become locked out from my acct and I will no longer be able to sign in and even edit my older songs and content from the previous 10 years ...let alone add something new . That process in effect means S C gets to hold my hard earned musical offerings as HOSTAGE . Anybody here remember PhotoBucket and the move they pulled ? Yep That was another take it or leave it company move that literally ruined things for every thread and online post where Photobucket was involved 😉 Kenny PS :This reminds me of a time in my youth when I was in Reform School during the hard winter Christmas season of 1856 . I was asked to chose what I wanted for my Christmas gift .I had to chose if I wanted to still receive my daily allotment of Becan . So YES I had to chose wisely . At the time my only 2 choices were a brand new sledgehammer for pounding rocks in the yard or a brand new shiny set of full body shackles 🤪 I decided to escape and I eventually made off with the wardens daughter .After 8 years on the run we eventually received a pardon from Honest Abe .... This story contained is the PS was spoken to honor the immortal words of Pinocchio. Whom after telling his side of the story said to his wife ! " Yes dear I'm coming to bed now that I got my nose ready for action"

Good Dogie ....Don't forget to Hump the female doggie day care worker for Ratting you out 😅 Kenny

So the consensus here is I'm probably better off if I just stop wrestling the whole internet and get this thing . Kenny

Thanks all ! Keep em coming Kenny

Jeremy Oakes ! According to your post it seems this process is no biggie for you .I do appreciate you taking the time to share you thoughts and feelings about this topic 🙂 I used to enjoy social media , buying software on line, sharing / posting tunes and making contacts with people I may never meet in real life ... Those days seem over for me now because the overall general vibe of the internet and how these big companies talk a big game and don't respect a persons right to privacy nor do they allow a person to maintain their personal autonomy ... In a nutshell, I am absolutely fed up with the amount of overreach Goggle and many of the online social media companies have been trying to force down my throat all these years..... all in the name of trying to protect me.... ( Yeah Right )..... I think maybe " these powers that be " should just cut to the chase and put an implant of a butt bar code reader on my keister . This way they can scan and run a DNA test on everything I have drank and eaten as it leaves my body ... Who knows maybe in 6 months they may even offer me a loyalty upgrade and give my 2 boys a motion detector to keep track of their libido . Kenny

It may be time for me to ditch Soundcloud https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/20707203094043-Two-Factor-Authentication https://www.tomsguide.com/news/google-forcing-2fa-users My mind is made up .If I have to have to put up with this ......I will nuke my acct . I would like to hear your thoughts on this subject if you happen to have any . Kenny

Did somebody say Cake ? Kenny

I think that happens to many of us . A lot of time wasting happens over here too. Good Luck ! all the best , Kenny

Whew ! If that was the video's content , I am glad the powers that be pulled it. Kenny

Not true .... CBS did that , not me 🤣 Here you go . https://www.cbsnews.com/video/saturday-sessions-billy-strings-and-chris-thile-perform-wild-bill-jones/#x Kenny

I have been so conflicted about the role The DAW has played in my musical life . Overall it's nice to have a DAW but The DAW been such a major time suck with me trying to catch up and crest multiple learning curves that seem to change every time a DAW has a major version upgrade . On many levels this BS does not help my music . How would you like it if I took your guitar and changed the strings to heavy gauge strings just before your performance ? What about me hoping on stage and switching your right handed guitar over to a lefty guitar ? or hows about me taking your rows of keyboards and changing all the notes and sounds from black keys to white keys and all the white key notes and sounds to black keys 😁 Before I got involved in recording with a DAW I had been striving to play my chosen instrument with my feet firmly planted on a pathway to achieving a personal virtuoso level . I used to listen listen listen , play play play and try to emulate the musicians I resonated with . I did my best to copy and learn from them ... I'm not gonna drop any names here ....FWIW it seems like a lifetime ago and Yet I did get a little respect and get taken under a few great players wings 🙂 For the record I am grateful to have a DAW but in the end I wish I hadn't wasted all the time I eventually did dicking around with it .The same goes for social media I'm just not gonna pucker up and get on my knees just to get people to listen too me🙊 I have gone full circle and my guitar playing comes first . I treat The DAW as a beefed up tape recorder and I wont waste my time sitting here trying to look up the horses AZS trying to figure out why my cart is not moving because the horse belongs in front of the cart not behind the cart .... I'm glad I caught this musical performance while having my morning coffee this fine morning .It brought me back to how I feel about musicians that can actually play . I don't care what genre music is in . If it's good it's good . Apparently these 2 don't need a whole bunch of cwap to sound good . 😉 Updated link to the video since CBS made it private ... https://www.cbsnews.com/video/saturday-sessions-billy-strings-and-chris-thile-perform-wild-bill-jones/#x Kenny

Bapu getting in shape for a journey into the outer reaches of Space where all the Intelligent life forms and Aliens need Lava Lamps for their studios . Time to go ! His Limo ride to the launch site is here Kenny

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Musical Labels are the bricks that can trap the unsuspecting musician in a prison of their own making. The musician can't get out and the good stuff can't get in. Ask somebody who's authentic country and they may say Garth Brooks . Someone else may say Marty Robbins , Dolly Parton , or Hank Williams. Who's Right ? As far as the bands you mentioned, in all my years of playing the guitar and listening to music I have never even heard the music of any of the bands you mentioned , not even one . As far as I'm concerned Jimi Hendrix , Deep Purple and Pink Floyd were the players that served as my first introductions to space rock way back in the day . What I played was my personal interpretation of what Space Rock means too me 😉 I take offense at the fact that you tried to put a label on what I played and call it noodling ... Anytime you feel like educating me and filling in the gaps in my playing and musical genre choices I will be all ears provided you can show me the way with you playing it first on your instrument Kenny

Someday when Mr Bezos takes his money stained paws off Lauren Sanchez and finally delivers my Rocket Ship .... I hope to visit them in their Galaxy ! I'm glad you liked it because if you didn't ole Kenny would PhotoShop your mug into some more questionable backgrounds!😆 Kenny

Ya ! FWIW, I got the 10 day notice also ...Wound up having to sign in within Cakewalk ...It reactivated Kenny

A tender moment and story from the one and only Bapu Gump ! You know, it's funny what a young man recollects. 'Cause I don't remember being born . I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But, I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest sound in the whole wide world on the day I brought my Alembic Bass home from the music store and plugged her in . Kenny

Even the best Super Hero action figures need a little down time to relax Kenny

They happen to be some of the more colorful pics I have done of Bapu so Yeah ! Of course I got to say they count . Here we have another of mine. Bapu as The Master and Commander action figure . Kenny

Ah Yes ! As nice as those action figures are, no collection is fully complete with out a Bapu action figure . Kenny
