The Second Act With RiF -

For anyone wondering what a Second Act might look like.
I left my career to make music—follow the transformation!
This is the sound that launched a thousands songs (ok, just 4 so far). This is what perked up my ears and made it clear to me that I wasn’t going anywhere any time soon. I can finally make the music I’ve always wanted to. I think I described something like . . . . a dark cloud rolling into town while the asphalt buckles under the weight of the coming storm. Alex Aldi (my producer) came up with this. He clearly read my mind.
Let's move off of the Music "Business" and our existential struggle with AI. Let’s build out a killer set of music related tips and tricks for the world to see. We have a ton of guitar players and musicians on this thread - this old dog wants to learn a few tricks.
Grab your axe, ivories, skins . . . and let’s go. Your tips and tricks go in the comments.
My little part of the internet was aghast upon reading that podcasters will soon be replaced (I mean joined). Article in the comments. It was the article I was expecting since the beginning of my musical experiment. One thing you don't get these days is more time. "They're here . . . "
Happy Labor Day!
For those of you non-creatives scrolling through LinkedIn on Labor Day, I presume you are either stuck in an airport waiting to go home or partially inebriated kicking back in a pool at a family BBQ.
A reminder - Networking is NOT allowed today.
For us creative types, labors of love don’t count. Plus, working stiffs need to be entertained!
To that end, here’s my latest. A couple excerpts from the 'soon to be released' RiF manifesto.
