Perspective

 

I'm not the only one who decided against major label success.  I was actually following orders.

"Couldn't you find anyone else to dance with?"

The prodigy

 

Mohini Dey is probably one of India's greatest musical prodigies.  Then she decided to take her music business to the USA.  Sigh.  Now she's in LA.  What do you think will happen to her?  Yes I know, but what to do?

Hot not hot

 

Ah, the weather is nicer here lately.  Alhamdulillah!  I hate hot weather.

New old songs

 I guess I should warn you about all the songs I added to Mary's playlist.  I had to transpose most of them to make it easier for her to sing.

Change

 

Early Chicago is absolutely fabulous.  Terry Kath was just jerking off his guitar, and they put it on a major label!  Back then it was probably mind boggling, but nowadays it's just standard bedroom guitarist fare.

Then the hits came...

If you didn't notice or realize, the issue with the drums is male dominance.  If you disbelieve or deny this, then try to claim justice for your drums.  Revenge is simple: they don't have money!

Survival sucks

 

Yeah, there are a lot of musicians out there.  How did you survive?

I knew the UK would be explosive, and that was just a small crowd.  But it does prove that people are listening.  Next time, avoid sound checks at volatile gigs: just show up at showtime, set up, play then leave.  And instead of partying, work harder at making great music.

We went West meets East!

Content that interests women

 

Oops!  Not trashy enough!

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

35.  Or they say, "He has fabricated it." Say, "If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes, but I am innocent of those crimes which you commit.'

Hud 11:35
