ALERT!

I’ve lost Gladys. I think she might have left me for a better musician. If you see a striking, dark-blue tuning fork with a friendly tone and a frequency of approximately 392 Hz, please ask her to come home. She has a “G” tattooed right above her… well, you know, her crack.

I finally finished up a song in the key of Gladys. I did a video this time because my recording gear is in a shambles right now. It’s called “It Ain’t Worth the Bill” and it’s about reaping what we sow. It’s about the failure of political system to actually do what’s good for people. And it’s about the sorry exaggeration of the benefits of the replacement of traditional homemaking & agricultural activities with industrial products and services. Pretty neat, huh?

Sorry for the new-haircut-bed-head combo – it’s a new look I’ve been experimenting with lately.

Hope you enjoy the song. So far this project has sparked a lot of new songwriting, but not the mastery of pitch recognition that I had hoped. Losing Gladys is a bit of a setback, but I have 12 other tuning forks to get to know while I wait for her to turn up.
