Thank you, Lady A! I appreciate your wonderful comment!
No, I have never thought about doing voice overs.
This is my voice bassified, of course, as you know. If it were my real voice, I'd probably be famous.
I have done various things though, as I'm sure you have. You can see me as Weird Grandpa on Tiktok, for example. Yes, that's me in the monkey hat. I think, going forward, I will use Weird Grandpa as my musical name. It's friendlier sounding than Citizen Mofo, and, in truth, I am a weird grandpa.
Anyway, thank you. I really appreciate you.

I will check this stuff out, and thank you. And I would in turn draw your attention to macrophages. Watch them chasing bacteria and eating them and realize there's some form of consciousness and intelligence going on there at the cellular level. This is in our own body, uncontrolled by our brain, multiplied times a billion. Then watch videos on mycorrhizae, underground networks of fungal roots and plant roots that are intelligent networks spanning entire forests and connecting thousands of plants. Begin to understand that the forest is a single organism, with its intelligence undergound and consisting of networks of roots. You can watch videos of fluids moving through the mycorrhizae, then instantly changing direction. An intelligent decision being made where there is no brain. Then look into the cosmic web of dark matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang, which consolidated hydrogen into the first super massive black holes which now seem to be the central pillar of every galaxy (and there are trillions). Do you see where this is going. Networked matter is the source of intelligence in our universe, whether under the ground or in our own brains or in the structure of the universe. And then I suggest studying waves. Everything moves in waves, including electromagnetism which you mention. Anyway, fascinating stuff!

Thank you, Wayne. I, too, watch tons of YouTube videos on everything from ancient footprints to black holes. It is crazy interesting to learn about everything, because everything's connected. The shit we learned is school was all wrong -- all of it -- and the only way to really understand anything at all is to keep learning your whole life, because your brain is a muscle, and the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Learning, thus, for me, is a spiritual journey. So yeah, I love to learn about the ancients and how they lived. Lately, I'm really interested in Gobekli Tepe and the ancient Egyptians. I think the past is wide open and being completely rewritten. There may have been waves of civilization that were lost. I'm open-minded about everything -- just fascinated with it all, as it sounds like you are. Thank you!

Thank you! I so appreciate your comment because I wondered, is this boring? Are people gonna get tired of it by the middle? One honestly does not know about one's own stuff, and so your input is extremely valuable to me. Thank you!

Right on, dimestop. We play, we have fun, we try weird things, and sometimes cool things happen. It's very helpful to get feedback to see if the weirdness sounds the same to others as it does to oneself. I never, ever know until I share. So thank you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and am really glad you liked this weird little thing!

And that made me smile in return.

You are as kind as your voice is beautiful. Thank you!

Thank you, RitajustRita! I appreciate it!

Thank you! A great trap track, found whole and so inviting, really gets the juices going...

Thank you, DijamMusic! It was so fun to do and one always wonders, "Is this just a piece of crap?" and so your comment tells me, no, it is not. So thank you!

Thank you. I wouldn't necessarily call it an interpretation -- the track still exists whole and unencumbered, but this version was inspired by the beat and music interfacing with my weird little mind which has been steeping in thoughts of the ancients for some time, and this is what came out. There's an alternate version -- not what wasn't there back then but what was there, done up on a different trap track, which I'll post soon.

Yes, bread is also money but it is hard to make it from wheat. And also, it doesn't taste good. But your uncle's right -- we should all start paying for stuff with slices of bread, and see what happens. Man, life would be so much easier!

Ah, I'm out in the desert doing my little my comedy riff on Sunday morning, but you are the real musician here. I went and listened to a couple of your tracks again -- what a beautiful voice you have. Something I can only dream of...

It does. And it tastes good too. And it's healthy for the people. Please eat more bread. Thank you.

Thanks! I think all recipes should have a good beat!

Thanks, man. Bread is good!

Thank you! Based on looperman input, I did another cut, and I'm really glad I did. I will post it soon. The comments are so important and I thank you for taking the time to give me that all important input. With each little nudge from my looperman confederates I move closer to sharing all the Sunny-session songs with the world. They have been mostly my private treasure for years now. So the encouragement is vital! Thank you!

Thank you! It's so wonderful to hear that something you've done has caused enjoyment. I continue to wrestle with this group of songs and what I should do with them ultimately, so it's really helpful to get feedback like yours to think about (and I do).

Thank you! I appreciate your words! Y'know, the original version of the song is 4:40. I began to feel that that was too long, that everything I do is too long, and the meaning was too spelled-out. So I cut out 2 minutes for this version, which is 2:40. And it gets to the point and forces the attention much better. But in seeing your comment about wanting more, I went back in and cut a third version of the song out of the master (using my trusty Audacity app) that's 3:28. The expansion is in the middle, so it still gets to the point but saves some more of that tasty guitar. I think the 3:28 version is the best version of all and the one that, after all these years, I will finally land on. SO THANK YOU!

Thank you. Working with the great Sunny War was heaven on earth.

Thanks for your kind comment. The male vox are loops. All the rest is Sunny, of course, live in the studio, within 20 minutes of hearing the song for the first time ever.

Thank you. Yes, it's all about that guitar and making it shine. I left like a full structural minute at the end and just said, "Sunny, please play," and then I sat back and watched with tears in my eyes at the great gift of music given to me by this fantastic artist. It was a lucky day when I met the great Sunny War!

Gracias!

Thank you, Danke! Your name is very honored in my musical heart! Those sessions with Sunny, man, those were special. I've never worked with someone as musically creative or intelligent as Sunny - all her guitar melodies she came up with on the spot and they're all amazing and perfectly in accord with the rest of the music. She's a very special person. That's what you're hearing here.

Thank you! I appreciate the listen and the comment very much!
