Graduation Saturday. Proud of Mandy. She has turned herself into an amazing, talented young woman. I will be taking a day off from work to attend this event. Sunday, back to the grind. (Mandy is Kim's daughter). Cripes, I am almost nervous just going to see her graduate, like I am the one graduating. lol. Congradulations. Get it??
My other daughter Emma, is on a plane today going to a concert out of the California area. I think she is headed for Colorado? Keep the skies safe! Safe travels for her. I hope to hear one day she will come home and visit. Sooner than later. She is quite the adventurous one. She too, at 22 has turned herself into a good hearted, artistic woman. I admire her strength to endure the "lack of" in her life, that is not her fault whatsoever. She has taught herself well. She has endured hardship and is a beacon of light. The struggle is real and now that we are back in each others life, it is the greatest thing ever.
Musically, I spent most the day working on a song called "Love Not Like". I did the drums to it the day before and have been working on it ever since. Kind of a heavier rocker. Tonight I have to run my Spotify playlists that stem from Twitter. We all (Twitter peeps, musicians) play our lists to support each other. The more plays, the more streams, the better off we are. I was discovered by an artist on Twitter and that started me on playlists from there. Since then, it has been great discovering new songs and artists! Indie. I also played guitar, lead guitar on some of his tracks, from home, to his computer via internet, out of state. Pretty cool guy.
My newest of newest is probably done, (music effort, adventure) but I keep plugging away. creating more music. I am waiting for my 16 channel mixer to come in the mail to my house next. I had to return 2 of them, one defective brand new and the other could not hold enough mics for from my drum kit. A couple guys I jam with at home are not going to be coming over again until after July 6th :(. One is in Florida.
I will share a tune with you tonight that is called "Only Time". Enya. I had no idea she had an offical video for this tune. Don't judge lol. I love it. Also, Prince. Need I say more? Yeah, I love that movie as well.

Partial Lyrics from "Love Not Like"
I'm going to make the best damn life I can
The cards were dealt and we get what we get
Only you can make improvements...
It's love not like, Love not Like, Love not Like
I did fall
smack my head on the way down
I don't blame you
I won't shame you
.... part of the lyrics -----------
