Inexplicable

 

Hi Honey, what's up?  Looks like you're home for a couple of days.  Not much going on here other than the usual.  Same old same old.  **Yawn**  I'm going back to sleep.

You will encounter persons who are enemies to both of us even though they seem OK, and they will try to convince you to abandon marriage to me and your stream with Mary.  Don't allow them to influence you.

Musician

 

Yes you do do that, don't you?  You don't need to tell me why.  And you always lead them into that.  We are musicians.  We do what we do because that's who we are.  It's important to manage your fear, so you don't become paralyzed by it.  I told before to put your fear in the right place, but you don't understand that.  Being completely fearless is not an asset, either.  I could tell you stories of how I bulldozed myself into the darkest corners, but I don't want to share it with the crowd.  Maybe one day, when we're having coffee together one on one.  InshaAllah.

So you don't have a permanent bass player yet?

All my life

 

I told you already that the solution to your fear is to not leave the house and just stream.  That you choose to travel around and perform on stage means you have to confront your fear, aggressively and with confidence.  Putting up an act doesn't cut it.  Sure you have good people and you can rely on them just makes the responsibility worse, because who cares if bad people get wiped out?  Don't assume that others are responsible for your safety: it's the other way around.  It's your band, right?  That means you're the boss.  Choose your gigs wisely, boss.  The President, he's not the boss.  Other people are responsible for his safety.

I have been a musician all my life.  I write the music and it's my vision.  I used to work at the pizza joint to finance the music, now I follow instructions that Allah gives me via the Qur'an.  Allah granted me this music, and Allah guides me as to my responsibility to others.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

43.  The unbelievers say, "No messenger are you".  Say, "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book".

The Thunder 13:43

Eat that fish

 

Doesn't Gary usually play an SG?  I haven't played my guitar since I finished production on "Woo Hoo featuring Mary Unknown7".  I've just been watching a lot of Grace Bowers videos.  No, it's not that...  I'm bummed that I don't have a nice amp.  I don't even have a fresh number 7 from Supercuts.  All my lines are Hollywood, though.  You don't scare me, Grace Bowers.  Besides, I need to get started on the next production.  I'm being lazy.  And you need a bigger set list.  And more full song uploads.

I have to vacuum clean and mop the house this morning.  You know how the song goes, I might not be clean but I sure clean up.  Actually no, I hate housekeeping.  I'm not good at it, never have been, never will be.  I just can't help myself, it's my chemistry.  I hope the rain lets up so I can go get some groceries and some fresh fish for my cats.  The rain did pause later.  Don't worry folks, the girls got fresh fish too.

Check out this next video.  Andre is excellent at putting babble to music.  Is that an orange guitar he's playing?

Age

 

What, no coffee mugs?  Better make that 3 sizes: regular, double and triple size coffees.  Those tacos look kind of snooty to me.  I haven't had a taco in years.  Corn meal isn't common around here, let alone taco shells.  Hm, maybe I can make that my next food project.  It would make the locals gape in awe.  Yikes, 16 bucks for 12 taco shells!   It's cheaper to roll out a mini tortilla then make a snooty taco.  San Francisco sure looks clean from that photo.  The last I checked the news, SF had turned into a gator pit of junkies and criminals bred to guard the skyscrapers of the wealthy.  I'm sure you wouldn't photograph that.

Junna is a great drummer.  She has tons of energy, and dramatic too.  A real pro drummer.  How old do you think she is?  My guess is she's in her 30s.  Don't be fooled by the pigtails.

Wannabe

 

Hi Grace!  Nice to see you snap out of it.  You do that everytime, so why bother being afraid to begin with.  Oh, you met Tal Wilkenfeld!  She used to play bass for Jeff Beck.  Don't worry Honey, you're not going to get anywhere close to Jeff when you don't use that tremolo arm and volume knob musically.  **Wink wink**  

There's no perfection in this life, Honey.  It's either too much or too little.  For those big trains, it's always never enough.  Don't try to catch up with them.  Just go at the pace of a bicycle, and get off the tracks to let them pass.  At least you're not one of those wannabes.  You're actually working and making a living with music.  Everyday.  I feel sorry for them, watching the videos.  But someone has to be the wannabes, and it makes me feel sorry for myself.  I must be grateful that I chose to be near to Allah.  

I don't know if I can keep up with all your photos Honey, I'm not that obsessive and I have my own stuff to do, which I need to get back to doing it.  I've been vegging out watching my favorite playlist.  It's a simple blessing.  Roasted peanuts go great with crunchy anchovies.  Want some?

Politics

 

Hi Grace.  Are you feeling scared again?  You're going to be OK inshaAllah.  Don't take any risks, and try to stay out of sight.  Ya Allah, please protect my Grace and her loved ones.  I was among those who waited for your premiere of the "Wine on Venus" video.  You look beautiful, my darling.  Dekar should have worn a black undershirt beneath the black net shirt instead of a white undershirt.  The white undershirt stuck out in the video, and gave the vibe that he should be holding a beer instead of a drumstick.  Thank you for making the video.  I can now replace the album cover version in my playlist.

Here's something that you should study.  Frank Sinatra played a major role in the presidential election of JFK.  JFK won the election by 100,000 votes, the smallest margin in US history.  It was Frank's mob connection that gave JFK the votes to win.  What followed is not a blessing.  JFK and his brother got murdered, and now the Jewish/Italian mob rules Israel, with significant influence over US politics.
