For the record I reached Level 32 and Level 33 simultaneously at 1:18 AM. I did all that while I was asleep. Man, I'm good. At something apparently.

It's been on my case to change my password. So, my new password is an expletive laced rant. Apparently that makes it a strong password.

Getting older ain't for the faint of heart. I'm thrilled that several here are older than I am and still go at it. I think that's fantastic. It sure doesn't get easier. I was really looking forward to using the new Ashdown Sunday, but felt bad and would have much rather been at home on the couch. Nothing hurt, just didn't feel good at all. I don't know what the problem was. I liked what I was hearing and that was good, but can't say I enjoyed the whole playing experience when I felt like I took several Benadryl and was just draggy and more foggy in the head than normal. That sure never happened when I was in my 20s and 30s.

Someone does a UV blocker clear-coat?

I was told I could have that. Or maybe it is some kind of UV stabilizer in the color coat. I don't remember now. I just remember saying that I didn't want whatever it was so that the color would age over time. Which it isn't doing just yet, but it's only been a year or two and the bass mostly lives in artificial light or darkness.

Released some new music. This track features the Alpine White VP (not that the colour shows when listening, or maybe it does). Played with the pick.
Drums were played by my friend and I tackled all the 6 & 12 string electric guitars, 12-string bass and synthesizers.
Should be on Spotify soon alongside the other song on the single (which has me on Wasp synth and other friend on percussion).

Great playing and great tone!

Used occasionally I hope. That stuff is hard on the kidneys if used often.

I wish hurting was my issue yesterday. I can better deal with that and there are some options.

Only occasionally. I use it when I abuse my knees just a bit more than normal. Which I did over the last few days. It's going to be at least a week, probably more, before I even think about it again. Normally I ignore it, but occasionally it keeps me awake. That's when I resort to old man drugs.

I can understand concern for such on many password required sites... but tb? It links to nothing that requires security - it's more of a formality to enter the site.

Thank you! It's now on youtube too:


And if someone wonders who or what is "Duncan Banks"...
It was a working title since when I was writing it or came up with the basic idea I was listening a lot of Duncan Browne's two late seventies album that feature John Giblin, Simon Phillips and Tony Hymas. The "Banks" refers to Tony Banks as I came up with a synth sound that reminded me of Tony Banks' textures from that era too. That sound did not end up to the song but as I couldn't think of a proper title at least I can think of it as a tribute to both gentlemen.

But we know you, so now we know your password. I won't give the whole thing away, but it starts with "goldurned steenking rotten son-of-a-biscuit".
