@Ricardus @freakwater Miller changed his politics after 9/11. He bought into the FUD big time.

@Ricardus @cb lots of people in the Cigar Box Guitar community put spring reverb in their guitars. I don't care for it.

@Ricardus Winnebago Man was a good documentary. Their fetivals look fun.

@stunder I have two. Haven't used them in a while because our local repeater never talks to anyone that isn't in their social club. I built a kit radio for digital modes and I much prefer doing that. Got my first and only DX contact with that kit.

I am not sure what keeps me here. I know absolutely no one and most of what I say goes entirely unnoticed. It's like real life, only I have to type more.

The daily mass shootings are happening because our government is failing us on so many levels. Some blame gun control and some blame mental health, but the core issue is an entire government that has done nothing. Not just Republicans. Not just Democrats. The government as a whole. Both parties are worthless and it's time for everyone to stop pretending that either party cares. If they did, they would find common ground and do something.

I recorded an EP using only my cell phone. It's 3 covers of folk/blues songs done on homemade instruments (cigar box guitar, telephone microphone, suitcase drum.) I want to release it with a Creative Commons license, but I am still wondering the best way to get it out to anyone interested in hearing it. Here is a sample track. Let me know if you want to hear more:https://nextcloud.jblackwood.xyz/s/jXjr8Nc2mbTjiW3

@stunder @Ricardus thanks for the kind words, stunder. Funny you mentioned the rough sound. The name of the EP is Rough, This is the cover art:

Here is my version of Columbus Stockade Blues from my Rough EP. It's recorded on my cell phone using homemade instruments. I'm playing a 2 string cigar box guitar with a broken tambourine on my foot. I hope you enjoy it. I'm still looking for the best way to release this to everyone. If there are no better suggestions I will probably just put it on my webspace to stream or download.https://nextcloud.jblackwood.xyz/s/C63XL8X9mEJAAL8

Nobody showed up to my ukulele class last night. I am not super upset because I was on the clock even if nobody showed. I see posts on social media about how there is nothing to do in my town, but when the public library offers very accessible, very free events, nobody shows up.

@stunder ukulele is very beginner friendly and some of the chords are just one finger. You can learn most of what you need to know on youtube. I am not a great musician but I like making music. I think if you have the urge to make music you should go for it.

What would happen if I did forget to like and subscribe? Maybe I also don't ring the bell icon.

Welcome to Mastodon. Someone will be along shortly to loudly mansplain how different we are from the other social networks. In the meantime, feel free to comment or post, where you'll be completely ignored with no response or be marked favorite with no other interaction. Have fun making friends and interacting with the folks who are all hyper focused on their own agendas! Joining Mastodon is like being invited to an orgy, but when you arrive everyone is hiding in a room and masturbating.

@SDF I recorded an EP with my cell phone. I am playing all homemade instruments on the EP. The songs are traditional folk/blues covers. You can listen on my website: https://www.jblackwood.xyz
