It only took a week to figure out how to write new posts on the phone. While on the phone or tablet, I am automatically logged in on my Google account. I have to go incognito to log in otherwise. Kind of symbolic, I guess.
I have recorded a number of discs that have never been mentioned on this blog. The computer at home has a dial-up connection, and keeps telling me to update the browser. When I attempt that, it tells me it's already updated. Needless to say, I'm way behind. I won't be able to post the covers, but they are on the music site.
I also have a bit more spare time, which I can't really explain right now. If you are reading this in North America, Russia, Europe, Asia, or wherever you are, sit tight. Information is forthcoming.

Oenyaw and the modern world
I'm using my tablet for the first time, getting use to the keyboard. I plan on working on the website. That's it for now. More later when I get more familiar with this thing. I seem to be getting more views now. Please respond.

working on #40
So, I'm thinking. I need to start playing gigs again. I wonder if anyone is really looking at the website. I wonder if the music is being listened to. I'm thinking of renaming everything.As you can see, I'm really bored. Feedback, please.

#39
Quoting two LA rockers from the early 80's: David Lee Roth "I hear all these songs about falling in love and falling out of love, so I decided to write a song about robbing a liquor store"; Frank Zappa "One can be assured that a love song will be much more popular than a song about celery". Arlo Guthrie has compared song writing to fishing. Some you catch, some get away, and some you wish you had let go. Finally, Holst said "Never compose anything until you can not compose it".
To me, art is about being creative. Creativity relies on the intent of the creator. If an artist creates something new, that the artist has never seen, heard or heard of, then it is art. Creating something new van take years, or minutes, depending on the inspiration and perseverance of the artist. There are no limits to creativity other than the restrictions placed on the artist from within the mind of the artist. Inspirations can come from any source. Books, movies, events, interpersonal relationships, bad days, food, ect.
I have recently become ill, and I am in need of a certain medical procedure. It's an interesting procedure that I will be asleep for, and will find out what is next on the agenda after the all of the results are in. As far as the procedure, it takes one day at home to prepare for it. So in the name of artistic creativity, I decided to do a piece of music for it. "Music to accompany a colonoscopy prep" is almost complete.

#38 title
I have titles for all of the tracks. I can't decide on the album title. I don't know if it will be "Someday you just won't wake up", "A Portrait of Death" or "Sore Loser at Ping Pong.". Suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Someday you just won't wake up
I'm finally finished with disc #38. Seven months. I haven't spent this much time on one disc since I began Oenyaw ten years ago. 18 tracks, the theme, as the title states, is a humorous side of dying. Ironically, I have been sick the entire time I've been working on this disc. It took a long time to come up with the titles, and I was looking at a DVD of a movie, and the scene titles fit perfectly. I cut a few tracks out, added a few more, edited half the tracks, I didn't think it would end. I need to catch up on putting the covers and tracks up soon. Late night, so TTFN.
