    Last Friday's Music

    And here we go… The main driving force of Last Friday’s Music podcast is simply to share and connect, much like the weekly Dark Sequins On The Heart newsletter. With “Who” and to “What”, is part of the experiment. Essentially I’m doing this for me. It’s very self-ish but in a good, “put your own air mask on first” sort of way. I used to have a problem with that but I realize now that feeling in-tune, in-sync, looking for a deeper understanding of things etc, is not only useless if insular, it has the potential to spawn delusional thinking, imbalanced complexes and possibly megalomaniacal behavior. And other than the latter which may be an interesting experience (would anyone tell me?)🤴🏻 these are not identifiers I’d like to be cancelled by. The very act of sharing what’s been lifting and lighting me up all these years opens the door to what I really want which is simply, connection. What I’m sharing here are small samples of a journey still being revealed. I’m weaving together elements of an unshared portion of my journey. I haven’t been living a hermetic lifestyle but I have kept my cards fairly close to the chest and by sharing the words I’ve written, with music I’ve made, and pictures I’ve taken, I’m showing my hand…er…my heart. Maybe both? I’ve been spending some time recently going through all my music files, most of which never get finished. Some pieces have been around for years and then one day I’ll come in, add some words or and instrument and it magically keeps the music alive and often will alter it altogether, usually for the better. But I tend to move fairly quickly so it’s either working or I move on. I’ve also been sifting through old bits of poetry and writings and adding them to old and new music. It’s been a fun process that gives old thoughts a new feel and old music new energy. In this podcast I may make comments on the music and words and in later live events I’ll be doing things in real time or with guests which will add another freaky (for me) element to this process of sharing. As always thanks for listening and I hope you get some value from what I’m doing. Please share this with anyone you think would enjoy this type of content.
