I hope you will get back to it. I suspect it will help with life stressors. I found it helps me for what it's worth.

I'm truly relieved your journey was brief and hopefully other non-pharmacological approaches in use. The FDA and big Pharma colluded to fix 56% of SSRI study results. it took the freedom of Information Act to prove. Led by a Harvard physician, the evidence is documented by NIMH.

Fucking with neurotransmitters is terrifying. MAO inhibitors mixed with certain food? You die. Tricyclics? People suicided on them purposefully. SSRI use, dosage change or cessation in 70 out of 73 mass murderers. All hepatotoxic immunosuppressants. Should be far more regulated.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane are pretty much Beyond reproach music wise. I love when composers and musicians take jazz and bend it into their own compositions. No one personifies that better in my opinion than Frank Zappa.

My youngest brother is a big band aficionado. I enjoy it! There's rarely a genre I meet without something that grabs my attention, smooth jazz is the one exception, it makes me crazy! I'd rather listen to every Thelonious Monk and Phil Glass work playing simultaneously. Really 😂
I love that you play electric guitar. I get being burnt out and I also completely relate to the work environment issue. Fortunately I can keep it selective in my old age regarding web. Which genres do you prefer? I'm very excited for you and eagerly await hearing your music!

I know I'm just loving the thread I had no idea I just tossed it out and suddenly all of these new bands and people and pictures of instruments and stories of shows and it's just a truly enriching piece of our industry. Glad you're able to be involved still!
Older than me? Low probability unless you teach people who are 60 years old or older. Greybeards, or in my case one annoying witchy chin hair that grows back longer and whiter every time I pluck it out 😛

Eric I just caught that and yes you're right! Important to add it was an accessible web there was nothing in between us and the content!

A lot of people left music for the web. I did. I wish I hadn't gotten so far away from Guitar especially as it is very difficult later in life to rebuild those skills. Do you find yourself revisiting music now or wanting to?

Now sure. But in 1993 nobody was making bank much less net worth from early HTML and Lynx on a terminal using modems. That the web would be a source of income much less be developed or designed beyond text content? I remember a Pez dispenser home page for collectors. Now eBay. 😂

I often think the web at its best is Miles Davis and John Coltrane. at its worst? Smooth jazz. AKA fake nonsense that infuriates me! So yes excellent background you have there! 😂

I relate. I did get to record with local Indie labels. Kept in the Dark then Crash Landing Studios. My music career was kept in the dark then crash land hard into Web along with CLs @stevens_phil early HTML. No tables. No CSS, no JS. Mosaic and modems. 1994 was a hell of a year!

What a delicious mix! All puns intended. My dad played Clarinet and French horn. In 5th grade I wanted to play the trumpet and the school refused because I was a girl. Early 70s New Jersey. parents pitched a fit got nowhere pulled me out but way to kill a child's motivation.

Thank you and I'm assuming you are a person not a bot LOL seriously she was so ahead of her time imprisoned I think twice for her writing and producing gay themed plays. What a Visionary so far out of her time.
I've heard from more than a few friends Jane's Addiction cleaned the floor with that Lollapalooza lineup. Talk about defining moments in rock history.

In Philly no less. Brooklyn born Jersey raised kid here. Saw so many great shows coming of age east coast. Very cool you had that experience with Levin. He seems very chill for such a force.
I can truly only imagine. Between bending and shaping wood, dealing with fretboards, strings, tension, action.. Not to mention esthetics. I've mad awe and respect for the craft.
