@mikebabyak@musicians.todayLovely business card my mom made for me back on the 80s when all of my musical efforts involved classical guitar.
Played some nice local solo recitals, was in an early music trio, and even got to play with chamber music groups a few times. And of course the inevitable wedding and restaurant work.

@jredlund@social.linux.pizzaJams with More Song Structure
I continue to do morning jams, still with drum groove, synth, bass, and then guitar. The latest ones, however, have a bit more structure and a more defined melodic content. This one starts with chords from a John Prine song. The guitar is my Squier Starcaster and the synth is a Rhodes emulation from Dexed. I play lots of variations on the melody:
@simon_lucy@mastodon.socialIs there a Larks Tongues in Aspic Day?
If there were then it should probably be 23rd of March but if there isn't it's today, May 27th.
Not because of the 27 Club
Not because of the Martin 27 Guitar
Nor that 27 is a perfect cube
Or that 27ish C is a comfortable degree of heat
Neither is it that 27 in the Correspondences of Liber 777 is Red, Horus, Krishna, Mars, Ruby or Mouth, etc
It's just because I thought it today.

@AccordionBruce@Mastodon.social @jredlund@social.linux.pizzaMore Jams and Experiments
I got tired of creating basslines that didn't fit with the chords I had in mind, so this time I played the synth part before the bass. It's just an Am-G vamp. The guitar is my Epiphone ES-175 Premium. They only made these in 2014, but of course the original Gibson ES-175's date from 1957, I think. The synth is Yoshimi, an old synth that works in Linux.

The progression on this one is stolen from "Sultans of Swing." I learned the chords from a Mary Spender video. The organ is from Zebra 2. The guitar is my Strat through a ToneLib AC-30 Topboost sim.

Back home now, white cells recovered nicely, still pretty anemic. So, tired but otherwise feel fine. But most importantly ZERO cancer cells!
I meet w my main leukemia doc on 5/22 to decide whether I need furth…
