hello fellow earthlings.
about 2 weeks ago i made a post on my intention to post more words on this blog and that "2016 is going to be an interesting year, i can feel it."
never in my mind did i think that David Bowie would choose that moment to go home amongst the stars where he came from.
i have not had a working cell phone for just about 2 weeks now.
the truth is i don't know exactly when my phone quit working.
it's been less than 2 weeks because my last post on here on the 6th i had a phone.
well i still have a phone. it just won't hold a charge. a very first world dilemma.
that being said.
there was a small window when my laptop was no longer held a charge either.
in that moment of time.
i was singing "rock n roll suicide" with my friend/flatmate/bandmate, Tim… Tim Craft.
it was his 33rd Birthday. A "merlin birthday" someone pointed out.
i don't know exactly what that means. it seemed more intriguing than the guys who said it was Tim's "jesus year". what does that mean? he's doomed to die? that ain't cool. words words words.
we were singing Bowie as we have been for a moment. we have a show in two weeks. (more on that sonly). it was a song i mentioned possibly covering a while ago. I found out the next morning Bowie passed via word of mouth by Tim.
I didn't have interwebs to reach out. I don't have a phone to reach out to those who were just as upset as me. I spent that afternoon watching his last videos and listening to Blackstar via youtube on AppleTV.
It's a beautiful, dark masterpiece.
here's to hoping to inherit some of the magic stardust left behind by one of the greatest entertainers, in my opinion. if you haven't listened to the last album. i highly recommend it.
as i mentioned before i haven't had a phone. it's been nice to recalibrate.
i do miss the ritual of posting my sleepwalking moments. i'll pick that up soonly.
i've drawn a lot. given a lot away, too.
there's a lot more in those drawings than this blog can say at the moment.
hope to get a new phone soon.
this blog is getting really lengthy, really fast. stay with me.
acorn season!
i play my first public rock n roll show since moving out West on February 1st.
That is 2 weeks from yesterday. I first learned of this opportunity about 2 weeks ago.
My friend Tim Craft and I wrote a couple songs which i will post below.
We'll be playing those songs and a few more along with our friend Joel who will be keeping beats.
I hope you can join us.
If not give the songs a listen, please.
I've been wanting to sing and dance to some songs for a while now.
The first song, "bucket" was written of August 23rd that was the first day of the fall.
it's a bit different than any music of done prior and excited to see what happens with this journey.
i gotta quit rambling for now.
be free.
