One person...

...Asked why I post my rough music on here from time to time when it is work-in-progress?

With lockdown I suppose we all need some sort of external validation. I'm not getting up on stage at the moment - neither is anyone else much. I don't have a proper YouTube page put together. I use SoundCloud because it's easy.

I guess the reason I put it on here is I like showing off to Patrizia; she's the only one who ever reads me and I did promise her I'd post the odd bit here and there. :)

I do read you! 😊. And I am enjoying your music! The reason I don't say anything is because I know so little about the type of music you play, and I've always assumed you had scores of musical buddies following your musical postings who would chime in with sophisticated critiques!

But I will start giving you louder validation, I promise! 😊

I don’t actually need it my dear. I was playing to more than one gallery, so to speak.

And I do know when I write something in my blog you’re the only person liable to read it apart from one or two IRL chums; who use it to check I’m still alive, I guess. 🤣

And me :)

It's been a long road from Politicartoons and TP on LJ.

Satire has ceased to have much of a meaning. The political and cultural norms have been trashed. Conspiracy theories about aliens, microchipping vaccines, and the deep state are mainstream.

Whatever it was I set out to do all those years ago... well I think I failed pretty spectacularly. But it is heartwarming to see folk from the old days.

May your blade never go rusty.
