Funk 49 – James Gang

I'd hoped you'd stop by and remind me that I'm just being a big wuss. I only play out 2 or 3 times a month. Last Summer it was 4 times a month, but we decided that was too much. I get tired at the end of a gig, it's a good kind of tired, though. But let me tell you this, as most musicians know, at the end of the night, the gear is a lot heavier to move than it was when setting up. I figure there are tons of unused notes still inside. If I only did 2 or 3 times a month, I'd go broke. Music is all I do to buy the groceries. I've only had a couple of real jobs in my life, so that makes me the wuss.

I like my saxophone, it's bling.

Happy New Old Synth Day

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) – ABBA

I did 20 gigs last month. Most of them with no break. The season is winding down, we only have 16 this month. Ya gotta keep doing it, or else it'll get to you. During COVID, when we were unemployed for 2 years, Mrs. Notes and I set up our gear and practiced an our per day, at least 5 days a week. We learned new songs, play the old ones in rotation. Then after the plague, we had our first gig, and after the first hour we were ready to quit !!! - but had two more to go. But we got back in the groove quickly. Notes ♫

All chemists know that alcohol is always a solution.

Spoonful - Howlin' Wolf

Piano Concerto in A Minor – Edvard Grieg

The Needle And The Spoon - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hound Dog – Big Mama Thorton

Unless you live in Florida. All your relatives and their friends say, "We're coming for a few days" translation "We're coming for a few weeks, and will contribute very little towards your extra expenses."

Best bet, try brown food coloring.

Radar Love – Golden Earring I'd like to play this one, but it would be a lot of work to sequence this for my duo, and I'm not sure that it would be worth it for the audience reaction. Nice song though.

Black Mass – Alexander Scriabin, Piano Sonata No. 9

Yesterday, I accidentally swallowed some food coloring. The doctor says I’m okay, but I feel like I’ve dyed a little inside.

Both. Musician: I play sax, wind synth, flute, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals. We played 20 gigs last month, and now that the tourist season is winding down, only 16 this month. Content creator: I make aftermarket styles for Band-in-a-Box, and other musicians in over 100 countries use my music snippets to make their music. But I make these styles by playing music into a computer and taking pre-planned, and pre-played snippets into the StyleMaker app. I create backing tracks for my own duo. I do this by playing the music into a MIDI Sequencer. I don't know or care if that is a musician or content creator. Anyway, I'm lucky enough to be able to make my living doing music and nothing but music. Notes ♫
