Public radio too. Respect. I got to listen to Eric's show live online before streaming media. I'll never forget it was not easy to actually pull off from a hotel room in California.

It's powerful that you know that about yourself. It shows self-awareness which I posit informs much of the ability to understand nuance of perception, real v hyperreal. You get the physical benefit too. That lone Buckethead interview and realigning physical pain reveals similar.

Thank you so much for sharing how cool. And I love that you have kept at it. I wish I had as a musician I definitely did not and my guitar playing especially took a turn from being apparently pretty good for a check to can't play my way out of a hole LOL. I'm strongest vocally.

I think we're going to see interesting things in music now that people are starting to come back face to face. I think covid brought a lot of people back to musical instruments. I experienced this. And great bands are touring again many prompted politically as well as socially!
Now that is a different story than i typically hear from folks in web and mass communications tech deep into music earlier in life prioritized tech with the rise of and fascination with the emergence of the web. What drove realizing your interest later than many do you think?

Utterly coil. Is the low end the attraction for you? Do you get heavy into gear, effects as well as technique?

I listen to every genre there's nothing I dismiss musically I'm open to all comers but my heart is definitely in classic rock and roll, some metal especially edgy talents like Les Claypool. Buckethead. SOAD. Grunge esp. Alice in Chains. Love hybrid world fusion like The Hu.

Oddly, O'Reilly via Songline under Dale, not Tim, as I was managing editor of web review specific to their sale to Miller Freeman. I had a column and was contributing Editor to Web Techniques on the MF side, later CMP. Learned so much in thar role, untangling an early Perl CMS.

I'm glad you are going back Matt. I took a lot of time off as well because most of us got into the web. Even with the lovely gift of a Martin Backpacker from Aaron Gustafson? impossible to travel with musical instruments and it fell away. Also back to music myself since covid.

Thanks for the clarification I wasn't sure so you're building ukuleles how cool is that I may have to pick one up again just as a nod of respect. My paternal grandmother died before I was born her name was Molly Miriam I am named for her. She played ukulele apparently very well.

Thanks for sharing this. The cello is a truly challenging instrument that I love. I imagine you've checked out 2 Cellos, whom I absolutely love. I have read that it was Elton John who clocked them first as worthy and put them forward kick-starting their career.

Impressive. Walk me through the various fretboards if you want I'd like to know. I don't recognize a couple there.

Thank Hannah for this. It dovetails with personal and family medical awful. The outreach is so important as is real research I was so fortunate)to have (big Pharma bs aside). Quality parenting is great to see.

The answer to the riddle is who cares. LOL I always liked that one. I can play a ukulele if I'm made to mandolin is harder in my experience. @cwilso aren't you building mandolins now as a luthier? Talk about overlap!

The overlap is incredible. Any particular rock bands in the Ukraine you have to share I would love to know more. I've heard mostly pop rock but World Rock and World Fusion is very interesting to me. Bands like The Hu, Heilung, meeting of metal and ancient techniques. Cool stuff.

And you with the 7 string. Such a curiosity to me, as is 9 string as they came about later in my life. I knew from 6 and 12, alt tunings, and no gearhead interest which appears to be gender related. I just didn't relate it wasn't that anybody stopped me from going down that road.
