I don't post much to Bluesky because I don't have a lot that I think matters to anyone. That said, I read frequently that Bluesky isn't growing or worthwhile. I think it is worthwhile.
So I'll do a better job of posting nonsense and stuff here... especially music related

Rachel was opening the @unifor.org #pride flag because the wind was not cooperating. She massively improved the image.

So this happened this morning:
I plugged my guitar into the Fishman (two input channels) and wanged away and sang into the microphone.
I thought to myself that I had the amp settings well adjusted today.
The amp was off.
Whatevers,... I was still happy .

Beautiful day to be singing songs even if in support of the strike.
It was noisy here beside the street. Good excuse to raise the voice up a bit more

Fooling around with a ribbon microphone a guitar I each made a few year ago. I've only just begun working on this tune so it's not remotely sorted out.. but I love it! Violin too!

My brain wasn't quite "into" the first tune though it went relatively ok. Here before song two - I have no idea what I found so funny. Probably some small comment that cracked me up ❤️

I re-edited this composite image that I hastily did for a thumbnail for a video from yesterday. I liked the concept of the image so here it is done with a little more time.
