Music 🎵

…is that which reaches the soul and engulfs the spirit as a beautiful sound.

There’s currently not a whole lot of music on this webpage unless you’re like me and hear it all the time. A bipolar brain is a busy place. There’s music in the air and inside, between my ears.

HummerHead 2

When I recapture my “AllSpark”
I’ll post my first recording here.

My interests change with the proverbial wind. I started guitar when I was ten and stopped in my early thirties. A forty year hiatus has left me with four fretful fingers and some meandering marshmallows with touchy-feely nerve endings for fingertips. But my “sweet little imagination” keeps me in tow.

“Nothing is easy”, so I’ve done an awful lot of that. I practice a little, I just need to develop a guitar “AllSpark”… a fun focused and determined spirit like in my youth and like what’s in Ed’s Website. 🌴

Dreams don’t materialize out of thin air. They materialize out of hard work.

When I was young, I had fun and worked hard at guitar and was able to delight my friends while annoying the crotchety old neighbors…

A young “rebel without a cause”.

Now I’m a crotchety old “rebel with a pause”.

For years, I planned to rekindle my art and music hobbies at retirement. Well, plans are wasted if we don’t follow through. 

My “sweet little imagination” had me painting away and making gobs of guitar recordings once I retired. I started preparations years in advance, purchasing a surplus professional art table and guitar gear that I had only dreamed about as a teenager.

Late in my career, my employer requested that I give them a retirement date so they could train a replacement. So I did. In 2016… I told them I would retire at the end of 2019. It wound up being January 3, 2020, just in time for the pandemic.

At first, I started out buffing up my art and music skills. This went on for a few months but I wasn’t feeling the joy that I had in my earlier life. Especially not for the guitar. So I added this music page to my website hoping to put a little friendly pressure on myself to get my guitar playing in gear. (Yep, there’s a pun there.) 🥴

It’s May 6, 2024 and as you can see, I still haven’t followed through. Now I’m stuck with an art table, guitar gear, and a motivational webpage that’s collecting dust. What a stubborn man I am. I can’t seem to let go of my “sweet little imagination”. Maybe this confessional will help loosen the rusted cogs. Maybe I just need a good whack with a motivational stick!
