While on #FreddieKing, nobody, I mean nobody, plays Hide Away correctly at a Blues Jam. Freddie plays clean and there is a lot of nuance, all gets lost in translation.

Lessons from Scott Sawyer are really improving my musicianship. I find myself now revisiting some of the most formative Blues classics...I'm in my Freddie King phase right now, his instrumentals are a blueprint for cool that you hear in Anson and Jimmie Vaughan and others! #bluesguitar

I just found out about #FollowFriday and am realizing once again that you need to put work into Mastodon to get things out of it.

I suspect the 'next wave' of Twitter migration is on its way, and a lot more journalists will be popping up.

Why isn't there a #git for #protools, how nice would it be to be able to fork and merge/pull request a project. We're tracking bgvs and handclaps tonight and the main tracks are sitting in a studio across town.

Working a bit tonight on vox, bgvs, maybe some guitars on a project for #GoodRockingSam. Finding that musical collaborations over time to create tunes is as rewarding or more rewarding than gigging, especially in COVID.

Here's a peak at how the musical sausage is made around here. This is from some tracking this weekend, a great chance to learn production in genres outside of my own comfort zone!

So #Go is going to be my 'new' language of choice. I keep sidling up to Python piece by piece as it is required but honestly I never feel at home there. New Year's resolution anyhow #programming

I need some side projects to motivate and some of the standards around #GA4GH are my current interest.

I'm not a great keyboardist (I am determined to learn) but the #UniversalAudio Waterfall B3 is pretty amazing. I had been using Native Instruments but the UA instrument seems quite the plus-up! For all the #homerecording folks out there!

I have officially reached the "I need no more plugins" stage, though the UA Fatso looks pretty cool.

I guess this is a thing that is important to do. What are we other than a set of tags?

Pretty strange that most doing #TwitterMigration are just posting with a link to a tweet. Kinda not the point.

My experience with audio software, game, etc is that you mostly jump in and read the manual later. Mastodon still is too new to make sense to me because it's software and a culture that is self assembling in real time. Fascinating but a little unsettling to not 'know the rules' or speak the language. Been a while since something online felt NEW!

Big uptick in high-profile #Twitter users all of the sudden advertising their Mastodon handles. On Twitter itself there are a lot of last goodbyes and Titanic memes...I sense a disturbance in the Force.

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan (I think she's a smart and creative person and good role model) but being the Dad that scored the daughter tickets today is pretty damn sweet.
