“AllSpark”

Harmony

When I was young, creating art and music was all consuming. I painted on my bedroom walls, ceiling and anything else that was handy. I played my second hand black Harmony 1950s model semi hollow body electric guitar every available moment. Music and art flowed from me like rain off the Appalachian Mountains!

As I got older the drive to draw and play diminished. I lost my art and music “AllSpark”… I shifted gears into electronics as a career. Then later, circuit board design.

Keep moving forward.

Before retiring, I managed to acquire a surplus professional grade art table, “Walt” and my “Teen Dream” guitar rig. I planned to pickup where I left off forty years earlier.

Who names their art table?

Gears

After I retired in early 2020, this website developed an “AllSpark” all its own. I found a familiar feeling in web publishing that I had felt in my youth with my bedroom ceiling and neighbor annoying Sears amp. I don’t think I ever lost my “core” AllSpark, it’s just been shifting gears from one thing to another. My music and art took a backseat a long time ago. My “sweet little imagination” is somewhat disordered.

I was tired, now I’m REtired… Except for some unavoidable honey-dos, I pretty much goof off for a living now. I’m cruising through what’s left of my life like the songbird that greets the morning sun… With thanks for a new day, and grace from an old one. ❤️
