I have been unknowingly been one all my life. I have been driven to make music and artwork with most all my freetime since I was a kid. As a kid I had to it in secret because my father forbade me to do either. Homemade instruments and #2 pencils on lined hole punched school paper were my mediums done in hiding out in our detached unheated/no a/c NJ garage in all seasons for hours on end. I never did any school work but went through tons of paper. My parents must have wondered why I used so much and passed very few of my classes. Luckily back then they graduated everyone if you showed up most of the time.

Once I took off from home I was able to do this stuff around the clock and I did that for many years. I figure I spend 3-10 hours a day doing music/art and work fulltime. No kids, no family around here, which allows me to to make music a lot. I am driven to learn how to make decent sounding recordings which keeps me inspired to play without people around to bounce off of. It really is a wonderfully worked out scenario that I had nothing to do with. Music will guide your life if it is really what you need to do. I need to sing and have unknowlingly till recently created my life to fit this need. Not for money, fame, women, but because if I don't I fear I would go insane. This is the beauty of my studio and 1 man band. I don't need to deal with anyone to sing what is in me. Here are some from today. Walter

I had friends as a kid now AARP is my friend
rich and blue
learning to simplify
I found the american dream
I don't fit in till I sing

here is a slowed down one. I love these beats because it is so easy to let my voice lead where the music is going and the instruments follow. Walter

I hope you don't get killed
