GO BIRDS!

I like Dream Theater. I've seen them a bunch of times. Still don't want to see them do more than 1 cover at a show, and I get an extra bathroom break if they do more.

**DISCLAIMER: This is a GET OF MY LAWN post** I will never understand why anyone would put the effort in doing a WHOLE ALBUM of someone else's material. Seems like a waste to me. I get doing one or two, but it seems like they should focus on their own creativity. These are different musical arrangements that took time to do. Though they don't sound bad, though I am of the opinion they sonically castrate a good amount of the songs.

Some things never change. I don't miss that part of the band thing.

Last year, I quit coffee for 2 months just to say I could. I had ZERO issues stopping. I have usually one 8-10oz of the darkest blend I can find. Sometimes, I have a 2nd cup, but most days I don't. All of that to say, some of you have a serious issue(s) 🙃

In my old band, I was the "idea guy". The other guitar player I called BASF(they don't make things, they make things better was their commercial tagline) as he didn't do ideas, but he helped to form and elevate ideas brought in because of his musical knowledge. It worked for us. I was watching an interview with Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson, and it seemed to mirror my example above. A ton of variables out there. The biggest thing is an idea person may be stalled progressing, and a theory person may be generic ...and everything in between.

No sooner do i say that than an extra 20% comes through. Lol.

I've been debating upgrading K14U to K15U, and the same as most, I don't see what I'd be paying $320 for.

Can never go wrong with Yesterday

Do they just destroy them? I hope not. They could mark them somehow and give them to schools for music programs. There has to be a way to make lemonade out of those lemons.

I certainly have fallen in to ruts. I usually do mood lighting (like a lava lamp or a neat random screen saver of shapes and colors) and tune everything out. That usually helps. Other times, I force myself to work a little bit on something everyday and break through. Both approaches have helped me break through on occasion. Something I am talking about(mute sound of course):

Somehow, we just got the rain in Atlanta. Ten inches of rain or there abouts. Luckily, we did NOT get the wind ...and that was extremely fortunate. We were going to go to Asheville this weekend, but they are in no shape for company. It is going to take some time for them to recover. Mother Nature can be a wicked one.

Perry is an unprofessional idiot. People paid good money to see you and your voice is on the fritz AND you get tanked and want to fight. Though, good to see a senior citizen brawl! 😁

So, I had a friend post that the whole Dave Grohl cheating on his wife deal really isn't that important in terms of her day to day life. She is still working a ton of hours and has stuff going on, like we all do. So while sad, it doesn't affect her life. I thought she was spot on, and I told her: Not your circus, Not your Monkey Wrench! (bad joke, but I laughed making it up - and not making light of his situation)

Something I did that worked for me: I glued the foam panels to posterboard and with felt pads on the back. I used T pins to put them in drywall(where a dollop of paint would cover the wholes), and hung a few at varying heights from the ceiling. You could do something like that for your garage door that would make it easy to remove. Or even use velcro with adhesive to put on the posterboard and the garage door. Curious of the quality of what you have bought!
