Without doubt, to be played and played!

Very cool Mr. T. reminds me of a song called Chapter 24 from Piper at The Gates of Dawn. A total Syd kind of trip.

Sorry I haven't been on the site much. Just about to get start back at work after everything that has happened.

Looking forward to it!

I don't know how you do it!

It's like you don't experience the boundaries that most of us do. When I sit down to create something, I do it, I don't know, "within certain parameters" that I'm happy/comfortable with. I'm happy doing it that way, I like what I come up with, it works for me. I sometimes wonder, though, what it would be like to do something different. But whenever I try, it doesn't seem work, or I can't see how to make it work in my eyes or ears... (is this making any sense?)

But you, Mr T, don't seem to have this restriction - you just seem to do what you want. It's almost like you've managed to hold on to the creative freedom and the naive confidence that most of us lost when an adult went "ooh that's a nice picture... er... what is it?" ...

... and added to that, you manage to combine it with creating pictures that none of us have to ask "er... what is it?"

Once more, I'm in awe...

Fabulous

Thanks Andy!


I think your Songs are bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really thought about where mine come from properly before.

My Music is mostly cathartic.

If there is anything that is particularly bugging me at any given moment (enough to bother me that is...meaning that it is worthy of a bit of attention anyway...) I give the matter some time in a way that I enjoy. I write a song about it.

Some problems sound like folk....
Some Rock...
Some Reggae/dub.....
Some I cant place...

Either way, it gives me time to think about important issues in my life and relieve stress at the same time.


Some I write because of silly reasons...  
Some need Videos, just to make them presentable....

In terms of parameters... I found that they change..... In music and in life.
I like making music too much to not adapt the skill when my life changes I guess...
It kinda makes it so I view music as "If you can't do it now, you might be able to later.....So I Might as well try..."

In terms of confidence, I see it as a real boundary ...

When I used to host the open mics, I would see people come in, full of confidence, using it as an enabler for them to perform. But at the same time, they seemed restricted by the concept of confidence as they were using it as a defense mechanism. I used to be that way as well...

Then I found a way through it... I would just present my songs for what they were....
I wasn't doing anything wrong by it.... Just speaking my mind, in a polite way... The politest if you think about it from some perspectives...A considered form of words, about something I found important.
So I do my best to be humble on stage (Well... With music in General...) so people won't think me a wanker preaching on about how to solve every problem under the sun. The songs are just my thoughts...

On the matter of Creative freedom, it  is the only thing we have left as a creature comfort if everything was to go wrong for us. I remember building a "garden thing" (not sure what else to call it) after my Son Ethan Passed away.

I was cleaning up the garden and came across some black bamboo that had nowhere to go in the garden. Found it in a skip and got told off by the mrs...


So I thought I would turn it into something that fit. It made me feel better that day. Didn't have a clue what I was Going to make....  I just started and found the "garden thing" when I finished.  Hadn't a clue what I  was doing.

But I liked it.... So did the Mrs.. And the Saul when he blasts footballs at it... all that matters really.


Thanks for the food for thought bro...  It was valued time out from my day!

Total flipping genius.

Highly original, highly mysterious, and totally wonderful.

So good!
