Pretty much the only thing I miss twitter is SFF book twitter. I followed a bunch of queer and fem authors, I read SO MANY amazing books by brilliant new voices. I expect there's something like that on BS but I'm not doing centralized socials maybe ever again. Bookstodon is pretty good, but it's not quite the same. A bunch of authors joined wandering.shop early days but most left for BS Anyway if you were a queer SFF tweeter plz like; I follow #Bookstodon #SFF
So apparently I can articulate melodies and adornments on the slide guitar now, instead of just whatever I can reach with the slide. After 35 years or so I'm used to progress coming in long slow climbs and wide plateaus. It's a nice surprise to stumble my way to a new horizon.
How old are you in atmospheric CO2? Today we're at 424.61. I was born 100ppm earlier, at 325.68ppm How about you? #Climate #ClimateChange
Fediverse musicians, CD baby or something else? I've only released digitally, to date, but some venues would rather have a hunk of plastic as a demo submission. Where* do you go to press? edit to add, I don't need or want any of the digital promotion deals that CDB and DistroKid and the like offer. * inside the US trade blockade, unfortunately I should probably add #IndieMusic #Musician
A hearty welcome to the folks moving here from #bluesky this week! Here's a rebroadcast of a recent #introduction post. I look forward to reading your own! I'm a #folk singer and songwriter. I write mostly #guitar based ballads, vignettes, and earnest, multipart circle songs, occasionally reaching into other vernaculars as the song requires. I sometimes post about #sailing my 17-foot fiberglass friend on little lakes
Behold! My newly refinished rudder! yes, yes... it's got a few drips showing, but I'm running out of sailing season. I'll have to do some light sanding and add a couple of coats this winter anyway. #Sailing image
I've had a beginner sailboat up on craigslist for a while, and I just got my first scam attempt: "I'll send you a cashier's check and someone will come pick up the boat for you." There are other obvious scam indicators, so I'm having fun wasting their time, asking "how long you been sailing? what kind of waters you plan on sailing? What boats have you sailed before?" I'll probably ghost when I'm done eating breakfast tho.
With just days remaining in May, I've only just learned that it is National Accordion Awareness Month here in the US. Does anybody know where I can donate in hopes that one day there will be a cure? #NationalAccordionAwarenessMonth #accordion
I'm struggling to remember the "official" word for those little changes in tempo to articulate a phrase. Halp?
Welp. Pushed the wrong button and accidentally released my record a couple of weeks early... Might as well download it yourself! For all that, I'm very proud of this record. I hope you enjoy... I'll Be Right Here, Too! Edit: Weird that the temporary album cover is cached or something. Low-res of cover by [@JennyJaybles]( ) now attached #FolkMusic #Folk #IndieFolk #IndieMusic image
