A great song for December too!  Catchy riff... amazing guitar playing! :)

Fantastic guitar work Theo!!! Your phrasing is great, and I especially like the several switches to new tones throughout. It is like a conversation between more than one guitar. I love it.

Grikhy - Land Of Bones

words and music K. Gennery
For Lauren.

one step at a time moves you a little closer
to the white winning line not so far for you to go now

were willing you on to break the tape
smash the record experience the roar of the crowd
enjoy the occasion embrace the adulation

whether a babies crawl or a giants stride
 doesnt matter which you take
when the destinations happiness
make sure you get there in the end

i could feel it as we talked see it in those beautiful blue eyes
you have so much to give all to live for
no more suffering raise your own family
go travel the world
this dedication is a celebration of life
this dedication is a celebration of life

One step at a time

one step at a time

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?
Ah-ee--oh...

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
Well I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far

You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you, you walk by me
I'm a meta material new spectrum
No, infrared
I'm headed to the blue hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I'm gonna be famous
Famous, famous, famous

You got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
You bend the light

Wo-Wo-Yeah
Wo Wo Wo Wow

I'm gonna be famous
You bend the la-la-la light
And I'm gonna be famous

You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
Oh Wo Yeah
Oh Yeah
Wo Oh Wow
You bend the light
But I'm gonna be fame, fame, famous
You bend the light

Bend the Light - The Mad Scientist Speaks

Bend The Light (The Mad Scientist Speaks) | Music & Lyrics by TheGat(s) | Music by REKHA-IYERN [Fe]

When I first sit at the piano each day, it's important to warm up my fingers. Anyone who uses their muscles to run, dance or play any sport has to warm up their muscles. stretch them and orient them to what they are doing. Piano is no different. I have strong hands without a hint of arthritis. When I was still gigging, playing harder R&R, I had callouses on my fingers which often split and bled by the end of the night. My music style has changed over the years. But serious playing without warming up means the hands won't be coordinated and will be harder to control. The fingers need to know where to go whether I am looking at them or not. They need to be able to judge the distances between the keys and they need to be limbered up. So I do a variety of exercises playing up and down the keys in a variety of different key signatures. I unusually to play 3-5 hours at a stretch - because I love it that much. There is so much more music to play. If a warm up sounds decent I post it. All of my music are improvs but most of them have an intent, a story to tell. This one doesn't. I'm just having fun.

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been a strange few months, and I am excited to be back. But I have a feeling it’s not going to look like it did… at least for the near future. I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts lately. And while the musical energy is flowing better than ever, my ability to write satisfying liner notes is feeling a little clogged (this will be my 6th attempt at this write-up). 

As much as I regret it, the write-ups may need to stay on hold for a while longer. But first, I wanted to share what happened (in the form of a write-up. Lol). 

For starters, it’s important to mention I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 15 (a 40 year relationship). And although I genuinely loved what a nice beer buzz did for my noisy mind, I also knew what toxic alcoholism looked like (from many examples in my extended family). So I knew I had my work cut out for me, if I wanted to overcome my genetic dependancy. 

Granted, I also have a ‘responsibility’ vein that runs deep. I did my best to prioritize my family and responsibilities first (‘don’t drink til 5:00. Don’t drink if ya have to drive’ kinda stuff), and I considered myself a ‘functioning alcoholic’. Truthfully, I was never ashamed of my drinking. As a teenager, the ability to not give a shit that I found in a beer buzz honestly saved my life. And it allowed me to unplug from the noise for many decades after that.

But I wanted to do better than that, so I started making changes quite a while ago. Here’s a brief summary of how that unfolded:

1. Back in 2006 I concluded my negative headspace was the root of the problem (perspective is huge); so I altered my daily routines, knowing it would take years to undo the lifetime of programming that caused that thinking in the first place. I started consuming info that was positive and hopeful and loving (and avoided negative info like my life depended on it… which it did). And I did that intensively for the next 15 years.

2. But by January of 2023, I realized the beer buzz no longer quieted the noise and ugliness happening in the world (it all went too chaotic too fast). So if the crutch wasn't helpful, it needed to go. That’s when I tried Tai Chi (to give my mind something else to focus on). And it worked brilliantly.

3. Over the next 6 months, thanks to the calmer headspace created by Tai Chi, I cut my drinking tremendously (and for perspective, we’re talking 9-18 Natties daily… down to 3-6 Natties daily). The surprise outcome… the fog in my mind was clearing for the first time, and I was not prepared for sober adult Justin (man is my brain chattery when left to it’s own devices). So at the beginning of August 2023, I decided to take my Social Media break. That was more timely than I could have imagined, because…

4. On August 26th I was given the gift of Pancreatitis (the disease that lets you know ‘Wow, Dude. You drink way too much’). I went to the Emergency room with terrible intestinal pain, and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Long story short, I left the hospital sober, and have been that way ever since. And I’m genuinely happy about that… because thankfully, I did a great job preparing for that day.

So in a nutshell... I am back. But the writings may have to wait a while longer (at least until I figure out how my new clearer headspace works). Interestingly, I managed to produce almost an entire album of new music over my break, so I'll put those new songs up on SC over the coming weeks. 

And since I’m just a few songs short of completion, I’ll be releasing a very personal album (symbolizing my adventures with sobriety) very soon. It’s called ‘What Color Is Your Paradox?’, and I hope to have it on Bandcamp in February.

In the meantime, I’m happy to be back. And I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to over the last few months. :)

 Big hugs from your blatantly open-book friend.
-Justin
