Good luck Reid! Always battling the bureaucracy myself. We are far beyond 1984!

Congrats! Play in good health!

BTW, the photo hanging behind the young me (13) is a large photo of me with my first stringed instrument. A plastic banjo (at 2.5 yrs old) ???

Thanks Zo! i appreciate your joy immensely. Outside is my 12th solo album. My 13th (Hear Me Calling) is being released 11/23/22.. The first 2 were released on vinyl (1st 1985) and second on cassette (1989). The rest are all as In Exile. All (both names) are on Deep Space Records and available on all major (plus) streaming/download sites as well as original media (yup, I still have stock of my vinyl album if anyone ever is interested). Whew, that was a weird sentence. The first 2 were recorded to tape (pre digital audio) synchronized to my collection of synths playing live during mix. I used Roger Powell's MIDI sequencer program Texture. The third album (and all after) have been done with Cakewalk software. The first as sequencer only and digital audio recorded to a device of Soundscape (first company (British) who made a free standing digital audio multitrack recorded which used a Windows pc as controller. Then Cakewalk Pro Audio, Sonar, Cakewalk yes! So please enjoy! I enjoyed the making! ????

Thanks treesha! Yeah, yeah, yeah! It was a challenge at least. My wonderful parents supported my joy even though they didn’t feel it a good life path. They believed in me anyway. I had to take piano before they would allow guitar lessons. I went to 2 then quit and began teaching myself... until two weeks later when they signed me up for guitar lessons! They both continued to support my love of music in any ways they could for the remainder of their lives! Though they still wished I had become Dr, Lawyer, Indian Chief! ????

Fir me, all buttons should be in every view! buttons on tracks but not on console, etc...

Thanks Nigel! 1st round voting ends today. I don't think I'll make the finals, but wouldn't that be amazing!

Thanks fir the delivery Craig! BBQ is just getting hot! ????

Project Blue Book finally made public! ????

Thanks bitflipper! Nice to be noticed... It’s all me! ????

Thanks Steve! Being in “the big game” is an amazing feeling! ?

Thanks Grem! Let's be real. In categories with the world’s greatest current artists the likelihood of someone like me coming close to winning is highly unlikely. I don’t believe I’ll even make the finals let alone win. So simply being admitted to he game is already a milestone for me! ...but one never knows, so I do my best to enjoy the ride. At the same time as this is going on, I have a new album (Hear Me Calling) being released 11/23/22 and I’m already busy on my next new album now! ?

Thanks Gregy! ?

Thanks Old Joad!

You got me! Thanks!

Thanks Zargg! Here's hoping!

Thanks Bapu ? Win? I already did in my eyes. Just being in the running is a big step up for me. ...but I wouldn’t be upset if some quirky reason actually did bring me an award! ????
