Love the description and the excellently produced and played rendition....Brillant.....

What a beautiful tribute! Very atmospheric staging.

Really well constructed and produced piece of music. Top notch, with a lot of depth a richness of sound.  A true gem of musical expression. Excellent musicianship, production, mixing, and an overall audio delight!

Dear Erik (Proxy's Theme)

It's almost Halloween:

This is an homage to a little piece of nostalgia. Back in the 1960's there was a cheesy TV show that I nevertheless enjoyed. I liked it enough that I even bought the numerous packages of slab chewing gum which you needed to get all of the 12 rectangular pieces to make the large photo of the Addams Family portrait.

In the this song's photo image, you can see my favorite character, Lurch, played by actor Ted Cassidy. I was always amazed at how his huge hands could play the small keys of the harpsichord.


And of course, here is the show tune itself:

Pulling us under

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
