It’s my monthly Bluesky check in. Im making songs that I’ll put together on a short record of 6 or 7. Maybe I’ll put it out sooner than later but I don’t have a current plan. Maybe I’ll apply for some funding so I can hire a publicist and become famous again ;) That’s the report Sky Blue Sky

Well it’s Thursday April 30, 2026 I’m 57 today. My 77 year old cousin and her 80 year old partner sang me happy birthday on FB video cause that’s what us old people use. This path I chose isn’t the easiest financial choice but there’s alot of joy.

Made no year end lists but made a living for another year. Precarious little occupation I’ve chosen, but as St Paul says it “beats picking cotton and waiting to be forgotten”

I’ll never afford a cottage, but if I ever did have one, I’d have signs in large print down by the water that’s say things like: “nothing to see here, keep paddling” “why are you staring at us” You know, really bring the community energy to the non primary residence.

If nothing else, Taylor Swift has me referring to other groups various periods of work as “ERAS”. Like today, I wrote how I love hearing that RUSH is back, but the first song that came to mind is New World Man from their lesser appreciated “Signals” era.

I feel like we are living in a time void of critical music reviews. Where has the 1.5 star review gone and simple statements like “nothing exciting creatively here unless you like things that have already been made”. Hehehe Sunday musings for those couching it through their day.

The amount of pop and modern r&b/ porn hip hop and endlessly repeated songs I’ve had to listen to on our current family trip is enough to send a guy into a mental tailspin
