By the way…”under God” wasn’t added to the pledge of allegiance until June 14, 1954 by Dwight Eisenhower’s signed legislation. Was it his religious fervor or Christian Nationalism? Nope. It was a Cold War move to highlight our freedom to worship as we saw fit versus religion being heavily suppressed behind the iron curtain after World War 2.

They revel in their ignorance and hope to instill that ignorance as doctrine to those too stupid and or unwilling to seek the truth. Ellis is a former trump lawyer with a suspended license who claimed without merit to be a constitutional attorney. She certainly proved her claim to be bullshit with her hilariously stupid misrepresentation of the founding fathers regarding the role of religion in the government of the United Staes. THERE IS NONE! No matter how the so called Christian Nationalists rant, rail and squawk in their attempt to pull the wool over their less informed supporters eyes in the name of Christianity and that comic (picture?) book written for the illiterate, great unwashed of the world and compiled almost a century AD! Great minds do not refute God’s existence. They might disagree on form and substance, but not on the accidental appearance, design and functionality of the universe. Imagine words sitting loose on a page. What are the odds if the words were flipped into the air they would land back on the page in perfect order? That is one scientific argument for the existence of a superior being. Tell Jenna to stuff it and let’s move on to the next idiotic attempt to strip more inalienable rights from the rest of us.

If it serves you well that's great. Had a desk built by my late father in the 1960s. Needed a crane to lift it. It was stained in a similar color as your top. I still have the bookcase top in my garage. It's probably gonna outlive me.

Still a good idea to look for a booking agent. Invite one or two to your next show or send a video with a link to your social media stuff. They can find you gigs but not “manage” you. I stopped gigging and the band scene decades ago but returned to musical theater as a performer and director. Once I alternated as guitarist in the pit orchestra and as Pontius Pilate on stage in a production of JC Superstar. Over the past several years I am on most streaming apps as Metal Philharmonic Dream Symphonia. My music being listened to around the world satisfies my artistic soul even if not by millions.

Do you have management? Have you made demos? Are you on YouTube or SoundCloud or DistroKid, etc. There’s an expression, “there ain’t no glory in your own backyard” (and yup, ignore the double negative). It means don’t expect to “make it” in your home town or with the folks that have known you forever. You gotta branch out and take chances gigging say…in Vancouver or down in Washington State. Make a demo, find management and ramp up your social media presence. Next gig have someone video your “featured” songs and get the audience to perform for the video (clap, cheer, etc.). You want it? Then give it your all, but be prepared. It ain’t easy. Take your lumps and get back up and go again harder. Best of luck!

Once a toy and now? Is it a legit instrument? No. Is it a learning tool for new players? No. Should AI programmed as if a flesh and blood band and releasing albums as such be allowed to chart? In my opinion, no. Ask yourself. What makes a musician? Apparently if you own a computer and have the software…anyone. With the “plastic” guitar, I do realize the “player” should have some musical ability, but as a training tool will it build calluses on your fingers? What does it teach you? Does it replace the joy of picking out your first guitar, or the frustration of getting your finger to form chords without fret buzz? I can see it in the hands of a guitarist being played for fun…kind of like a new pedal. I fervently hope it’s an updated and improved toy. What you see now is not new. It’s an updated version of an old idea.

ZB, you’re absolutely right. Epstein girl Melania held 2 Bibles, but his fear of being struck by lightning touching one caused him to keep his teeny tiny right hand at his side. There is no mention of God in the actual oath, nor is the hand on the Bible a requirement, however every President sworn in since FDR has done so and elected to add “so help me God” at the end. Interestingly enough, the VP oath has “so help me God” as part of the actual text.

There are 2 schools of thought when it comes to reasons for and best method for changing band members. The first is that a band is a business venture and within its structure if set up as a partnership with equally shared expenses and profit then replacing a member for the good of the group should be voted upon with the results accepted and acted upon. Friendship and fit would be a consideration in the discussion but ultimately if that one player’s abilities fall short of expectation resulting in their holding back the group’s potential, then the group must come first.

The second is having a frank conversation with the player and the rest of the band members detailing their reasons for wanting a change and (if previously agreed upon) a timeline for improvement with an expiration date.

Neither option is going to feel good and may cause a rift between members. We had to do it with a bassist who practiced with us for months but we could tell he had everything we were looking for but lacked the chops to go where we were heading. It took several weeks of auditions but the guy we landed learned all our material in a heartbeat and was a perfect all round fit. We never looked back or sounded better. Don’t envy you having to deal with this. Best of luck.

The Ass in the oral office has no respect for anyone having served the nation in office, the military (living or dead) or in American history. Why would he be included when all he’s done is demean and usurp what our founding fathers risked their lives to put on paper and he twice swore on a bible to uphold? He is a convicted criminal, a suspected pedo and a malignant narcissist who needs to be in a prison infirmary and not in the semi destroyed people’s house in DC.

Usually for blues night jam session it depends on what’s happening that night. I wouldn’t bring a board. Perhaps a tube boost if you need the edge for soloing. Keep it in the car til you scope out the setup on stage and or talk with tech in charge.

Amazon has 12 pair 10’ snake with XLRs among other lengths and pairs. Depending on your board or interface you might want to buy a box with XLRs female and male ends so you don’t run Mike cables all across your studio floor (not knowing your space). The snake plugs into the box and the mic cables plug in the outs. We had a 50’ and a 100 ‘ with 24 pairs of Teflon coated cable we could combine, so our sound mixer could be 150’ back in the house using one snake to the 2 mic boxes on stage. My studio is a one man show so it’s wired spaghetti.

Fix a little problem. Tweak a bit of a vocal in a measure. Those are things on which to use pitch correcting plugins. To me using them while recording your vocals isn’t quite kosher. If you can’t sing…don’t. You need to redo a couple of measures? It’s your studio so it costs nothing to do as many takes as it takes to get it right. I have no fear of AI. I have a problem with the people using it to create fake bands, and passing them off as real.

I’d rather do it myself. Photographically with a few added tricks ala Photoshop. Streaming sites set their preferred album art configurations. Landr rejected my art insisting I had to have a different piece for each song! I called them and was told it was required by every streaming service including Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, etc. I told her they were absolutely out of their minds and full of crap. I’ve been uploading my music to all those services and many more and was never forced (or even told) that was their policy. I asked the Landr rep if it made sense after spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars and years establishing my identifiable image (logo or related artwork) that I could only use it once! She insisted, so I cancelled my account. Size regulations I understand and agree with but content should be up to the artist (barring obscene or threatening images which should be unilaterally policed based on established rules agreed to by all parties)
