I write music. I travel. I write about music and travel. I also play bass.
Usually in the US, but living in Europe part-time.

I'm almost 55. Having more pain. More problems getting around. I have to plan a move in the future to a place that's more accessible. And Texas ain't it.
I'm still planning on "retiring" in Spain someday. They also have one of the best health care systems in the world.

Apparently, improving my chess skills have also improved my Italian speaking skills.
I'm still most likely going to Rome/Florence/Naples next trip, but I still want to drop by Cairo/Giza again.

The new Grand Egyptian Museum is scheduled to open to the public on 4 November. I may decide to go back to Egypt next year then.
(My first trip to Cairo/Giza was May 2023, then Istanbul the whole month of June.)

I got a good metal bass sound (with distortion) with my setup.
A Ibanez 5-string fretless through a Boss headphone amp and a cheap Walmart speaker.
I'm working on a cover of a song that's over 1000 years old. It's kind of hard because there are quarter tones all over the place.

All the metalheads love Bach. So I need to play some Bach.
They're playing it so fast here though. I'll need to practice the bass line a bit.

Just so you know: I have a new bass.
Ibanez 5-string fretless.
It's not their real expensive one. I'm not rich yet.

I told my dad I'll go to Italy for my next trip. That'll most likely be Rome and Florence, and maybe also Naples.
But if Sagrada Família's going to be finished next year, I'd like to be back in Barcelona for that.
So those will be the most likely options. Dates still unknown.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
