Spent on progress

 

Gwen go get Mary, and make sure everyone sees you.

Where does the money go

 

In Islam, there is nothing wrong with becoming wealthy as long as the money is halal and the wealthy fulfill the responsibility to help the poor.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

66.  Say, "I have been forbidden to invoke those whom you invoke besides Allah seeing that the clear signs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to bow to the Lord of the Worlds".

"He made me wear Dolce and Gabbana!"

Yeah sure I did, so what?

Merry Christmas, Grace

 

Fashion show gig.

Protect the farmers

 

The Western food crisis is imminent.  DO NOT OPPRESS THE FARMERS.

Why did this happen?  Because of the financial model that favored intangibles like interest and cryptocurrency over food.  Too late, now.  Sure, humans get greedy.  But governments don't need to enforce laws that strengthen greed.  The bottom line is that they don't give a shit about the poor.  So much for being human.

Photo shoot for the orchestra gig.  That's a prop cigarette, folks.

Looking for love

 

I thought that was Rachel Zegler, too.  Way to click bait, Asmon.

A slightly bigger orchestra than the last.

The international playboy

 

I choose Grace Bowers over Sydney Sweeney.

Mary and Gwen in a luxury tropical resort.  The girls seem thrilled about something, God knows what.

Girls!

 

While it may seem like I agree with Asmongold a lot, I definitely don't talk nor listen as much as him.  But yeah, real girls are better.   Perfection is for heaven.

Speaking of Mary, here she is working in the lobby of a luxury tropical resort.

Say "Mob", Asmon.  Isn't someone's photos missing?

The present is lost

 

Watching the student fashion show.  That's apple juice in those wine glasses, folks.

Lunch at the school cafeteria. The game has only started, kids. Go eat your lunch.

Playing live from Los Angeles

 

I love this band!  Especially when they stay upbeat.  They sound incredible live.  Knower is from Los Angeles.  Did you go to a Knower show like I told you to?

If you didn't follow my shit ass advice, then you must contact them and ask when they're playing next.  It will give you an excuse to go to LA and who knows, they might open for you at the Troubadour.  Be warned: they are highly educated and jamming with them might be more difficult than you anticipate.  Put that genius ear of yours to the test.

Comic convention!

We love LEDs

Dog eat dog

 

Rob Reiner's death seems like a Mob hit to me.  From Allah is our origin and to Allah is our return.

Honey when we are married inshaAllah, I will do all the cooking while you do the dishes and clean the kitchen.  But for now, you must learn to cook and make your own meals for your own protection.  The Western food crisis is imminent.  Don't be like your government and only do something when it becomes a problem.  Gain knowledge and practice now with food preparation.

Under contract

 

You have to admit Honey, that you had a lot more content to post when you went around playing your guitar everywhere anywhere you could.  It's a good thing you're not under contract to generate content, huh!  Look what they did to poor Britney, just for a deleted scene.  And she was the biggest star on the planet back then!

Oh by the way, I'll try to guess the stickers on your skateboard but not going to score many points.  I'll do what I can.  I love my girl!

Renaissance festival!

Learn to cook

 

That way you control what goes into your body, instead of the greedy and the politicians.

Barn dance!

Cooked

 

Barn dance!

I'm sick of travel

 

I'd rather watch it on YouTube.

What is it, Gwen?

Travel

 

On a quiet street somewhere outside Beijing.

Me, me, me or us, us, us

 

Or is it money, money, money or music, music, music?  You don't have to worry about money, so it should be music.  Right?

Yes, Mary and Gwen were there.  Did any of you guys see them?

I want one

 

I wonder if there's a 28" baking pan for one of those vintage Ludwig bass drums...

Photo op outside the opera house.  Too much fuss for a gig with student musicians...

I love the bass guitar

 

But I will never want a Beatle bass.

A performance with an amateur orchestra at an opera house.

Sunny side up

 

I don't have a cast iron skillet but even if I did, I wouldn't cook sunny side up eggs in it.  Cast iron has to be hot enough to use properly, which makes sunny side up eggs have a bubbly hard egg white.  I want the egg white soft and smooth, so I prefer a non stick pan at low heat.  Non stick pans don't last long with me though, plus I'm not very fortunate with sunny side up eggs.  Something always goes wrong, and I become thrilled when both eggs turn out right.

Enjoying a free macaroni dinner after the gig.  Gwen, there would be more room to eat if you sat in front of Mary.

Sugar?

 

I've been snacking hard lately.  The politicians came around giving away snacks as flood aid, so I had some of that.  No Oreos, though, instead I got other forms of chocolate flavored grease.  I did get some packs of ramen, so I don't have to buy some.  I also got a cup of ramen.  I haven't had that since I was in America.  I used to crack an egg in there before I put in the hot water.  No, I don't miss it.  My ramen game has stepped up.

Another restaurant gig for Mary.

Meat and greet

 

Where's Grace?  Honey instead of music industry, perhaps you should try networking with these guys.  Yeah they might be crooks, but so is the music industry.   At least they may be sincerely impressed with your guitar skills.

Photo op at the biker bar.

Music promotion sucks

 

My estimate is that there is an organization of music promoters and public relations that work against you if you don't subscribe to their services.  This is especially irritating for shows away from your home town.  Paying them isn't the solution, because there are those that pay more or are connected (major labels/the Mob) to them, so they could take your money and still blacklist you.

Biker bar gig!

Hm

 

Anybody who purposely makes you late for your session with Mary is a traitor.

158.  Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or your Lord, or certain of the Signs of your Lord!  The day that the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith.  Say, "Wait you: we too are waiting."

The Cattle 6:158

A Jimi Hendrix cover

 

I'm sorry Honey, suddenly I can't seem to stop laughing.  Fleas.  What have you done to me?  I'm overwhelmed with a vision of folks in the Nashville scene on their hands and knees trying to scratch their ears with their feet...

I've really been into Roy Buchanan lately.  I'm even thinking about getting a Telecaster someday.  Come to think of it, my first fantasy guitar when I was a little kid was a Telecaster...  Here Roy does a Jimi Hendrix cover, "Hey Joe" going into "Foxy Lady".  He's not much of a singer, he just narrates the story while playing guitar.  And it works.  The energy is powerful, it works.  What matters is that it works.

After dinner entertainment for the military service.

Don't be a shrimp, be a shrimp boat

 

"Girl like that" suits your voice.  I like that song.   My point is when it comes to "Fleas", you're not very good at barking like a Rottweiler because you sound like a Chihuahua.  Honey I want you to make the best music in the world, so I have to be strict about it.  EVERY SONG must be awesome.  Be the best, Grace.

Photo op at the prison.  Mary was terrified, but Gwen has the nerves of a battleship.

I don't like fleas

 

The vocals sound wimpy and spoiled.  Like the opposite of Joan Jett.  Like a cheerleader.  That the lyrics are loud and clear isn't an advantage, but makes listening difficult.  Know that every singer has the same audience: a group of potentially violent prisoners.  Prisoners of the heart.

Mary at the prison.  Everyone was well-behaved.

176.  They ask you for a legal decision.  Say, "Allah directs about those who leave no descendants or ascendants for heirs.  If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance.  If a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance.  If there are two sisters, they shall have two thirds of the inheritance.   If there are brothers and sisters, the male having twice the share of the female.  Thus does Allah make clear to you lest you err.  And Allah has full knowledge of all things."

The Women 4:176

Do you dance?

 

AI can make you dance!  I wanna dance with Grace Bowers!

Gwen and Mary throwing punches around at the Disco Dungeon.

You ought to be having fun

 

Tower of Power in this incarnation was absolutely incredible!  That brass section...  But I'm sure the tour bus didn't smell good.

Ha?

 

That's not her native language!

Mary in New Orleans.

Ha?

 

This area used to flood badly, because of the river by the mosque.  Then about 15 years ago, the local government dug up some extra drainage.  The floods stopped until Monday, so obviously God can overcome any amount of drainage.  At least I only have to deal with a couple of inches of water in the house instead of a couple of feet.  There's still water coming in.  It must be coming from far away.

Pool party with Gwen.

Flood!

 

It really did flood here!  The water came out from the jungle in my backyard, after a heavy bout of relentless rainy days.  What you see in the video was only the beginning.  Sorry I cancelled the stream folks, I had to prepare for the flood and make sure my cats were situated well.  I had to mix the boys and girls due to the emergency.  The boys didn't worry too much but the girls were pretty spooked and are fasting, just like me.  Mary is doing OK.  She should be on schedule to stream, inshaAllah.

Here's Mary being the entertainment at a pool party.

Lost work

136.  Say you, "We believe in Allah and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the descendants and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to all prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them, and we bow to Allah."

The Heifer 2:136

Mary had Gwen come on stage for this number.

Cruising

 

Here's Mary chatting with hair and makeup backstage.

I love this song so much

 

I can still vividly recall how I felt when I first heard it.  I'd never heard this Allman brothers song, and Google didn't know about it.  But it was so good.  What I felt was innocence.  I listened to it over and over again, and I couldn't stop crying.

I can't expect you to be the same person you were when you wrote it, but you are the one who wrote it.  You may think you have outgrown this music but this music is so high and if anything, you may have fallen down from it.  I'm so scared that you churn out filler just to be social or get back at society.  I want to hear music that touches my heart so much, it makes me weep.  I'm scared that you would rather be mediocre than creative.  And a lot of rock music is mediocre.

Perhaps it matters not to people who love you but your vocals are not strong enough to lead, so it's important that the guitar overpowers everything else.  If you were looking to be punk rock then your vitality/power is nowhere close to Amyl, and she's not playing an instrument.  Hide behind the guitar Grace, and make sure your studio guitar tone is better than everyone else's.  Better meaning bigger.  Everyone else meaning Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads, etc.  You might become a better singer if you put in the practice and gain maturity.  As it is now, you might as well go look for haunted tunnels.  Don't rush the next album.  If you study music history, you will know that musicians spend 24/7 at the studio when they're serious about the music.

Here's a snapshot of Mary and Gwen after the comedy club gig:

Local cheese

 

What I really miss is cheese.  The West has so much cheese, and the tradition to back it up.  But I did get a block of cheese today at no cost to me, so I'm going to review it.  It's local cheese.

How hard is it to make cheese?  It's not hard, it's tedious.  Then there's the issue of rennet, the enzyme you get from the stomachs of calves that curdles milk.  This cheese isn't bad.  It tastes like mozzarella.  Now I have cheese for beef taquitos.  Alhamdulillah.

Does anyone remember this performance?  Mary doesn't like large crowds, but she agreed to do this gig.  So she went up unannounced, sang her song, then disappeared.  The crowd didn't know what the hell was going on.  After that, she went to the comedy club and sang a few songs there.  What a night!

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

22.  Say, "No one can deliver me from Allah, nor should I find refuge except in God."

Gwen

 

Mary has never won a game of chess with Gwen.
