    SOTU 579 That's Crackers!

    Sweetness rules, doesn't it? Um. If I don't stop myself I might not have time to go to the toilet, shower, do housework, groceries, feed the cat, talk to people in real life, stare at the sky, etc.. I can get obsessed with making music/videos!

    Seasonistas general thread: yakking, joshing, news and pictures

    I did a simple song about this bird nest for Sabine's season. Today I took a few more (slightly better quality) photos..... It has been windy, and raining on and off...the nest remains. The "naughty kids" have not done any damage so far. I spotted the mother on the antenna nearby....poor photo...

    SOTU 579 That's Crackers!

    Letting someone eat crackers in your bed is a big deal. Such a sweet song. And so beautifully done, Alan. Here's another love song from me. It also has crackers in it. There is a type of crackers I love to eat with black coffee... called sugar crackers, which is just sugar on crackers. Mmmmm...

    SOTU 579 That's Crackers!

    I posted a version of this earlier but I felt it was lacking something....So I used my lunch break to add something to it. I wished I had more time to figure out how to make the videos bigger. Hope you like it, Sabine! This is an adapted version of Grant Lee Buffalo's You Just Have To Be Crazy.

    SOTU 579 That's Crackers!

    Thanks for hosting, Sabine. I was playing around with some open D tuning on my bari uke today. Did an improv, and then added another improv over the first. I thought it needed some vocals...so I sang, on repeat, these lines : You think I am crazy? I don't have BPD. The paintings I used to make...

    I had a pleasant surprise today. Bruce Findlay commented on my Incredible String Band cover....... I think it was the man himself....argh. Anyway. Life goes on. haha.
