Decided to start playing out live again. 2+ year hiatus.
So in lieu of this decision. I bought a new acoustic. Guild OM320
Website said no case, but came with soft gig bag and a woody soundhole pickup!
Wish me luck on my renewed ventures. My voice/vocals out of shape. Gonna Def need some practice.

Wrote recorded this 25 years ago. It's not my best for sure.
If real, thanks, I guess

Only plan on using 2nd set for drum track creation/mixing on PC. Never heard of Rockville til now. I know the seller. should I beat him up on $ if they are decent speakers? Lol

Wow. Found this in a Japan supermarket. #lieruva #Lithuania #Balticporter
#ale
Not too bad. I prefer a thicker dark ale. It's tasty for sure.
#sundayscore
Never saw a full 1 pint can. Usually 500ml is what I can get.
Nice Sunday and freaking gorgeous weather!

Working on drums tracks for my next album. '13'
A #punk #rock #protestsong album. 13 songs. Each song will use only 13 words. Tried to make songs at 1:30 but that's a pain in the ass. So lengths will vary at 13 different time counts.
Also thought each one at
130 bpm but too slow for punk
Fun stuff
