Am I weird? It's a question I get asked a lot when it comes to my "music." lol. Well, of COURSE I am. Is that even a QUESTION? But the more important question should be, "Do you just have fun doing what you do and being you?"
Well, YES I DO.
Well, when you are not a professional studio musician and just happen to be a guy who likes to play guitar and write songs from time to time, you can just do what you want, not abide all the rules, or worry about all the particulars.
I guess you could call this a part of my Garbage Files series which I sort of dead ended since I never actually "released" this one officially. But it is still fun to share stuff from time to time.

I agree, being like the others is boring. We need to be creative.

I do find that when a person can walk to beat of their own drum, yes, the possibilities for them can be endless. You can possibly be more creative because there are no limitations to hold you back. Wow, you've got a lot of tracks . . . enjoy and keep going!

Enjoy making music on your own terms! It’s much more satisfying than having a record label executive tell you what your music must sound like .

@porwest I don’t like to be pigeonholed. Wait…if I do what the record label tells me what to do, won’t they make me lots of money? Maybe in that case being pigeonholed is not a bad thing!
