I don't say it enough but this needs to be said. by Scott Stambaugh on The Pipeline at IndieMusicPeople

I don't say it enough but this needs to be said.
Our music portals become something a level better when they become communities. Artists should commune, who could possible take issue with that point?

I'm not much of a schmoozer so I think we should form a commune or cult to sing and dance naked around trees while worshiping our leader and I don't mean Donald Trump :)

I take issue with the point that artists should commune mainly because I don't understand it - do you mean we should collaborate musically or just chat more?

I'm down for some cum unity. All together now! No, but seriously. I thought that was what we are doing around here. Communing together in music. Granted there are some who don't participate as much as others but isn't it that way in all communities?
Lets be thankful for what we have rather than looking for other levels of communing. When people come together anything is possible. We should all vape together to. I just harvested a fine crop. Plenty for everyone. Larree, ALJ, and anyone near the Cali Bay Area, come on over and party with the Stoneman.

Much Respect To All

I may have to save my nickels dimes and quarters just so I can visit California
and stop in and break bread with both of you, Stoneman, and Larree....

I also like the sound of dancing naked around a tree for some reason.
This takes no one by surprise more than it does me.

I lied about that last one, it does in fact not surprise me that the sound of dancing naked around a tree appeals to me.

Okay, I'm getting myself into mode here....
I don't think the boys are awake yet. Typical.

It's almost dark, and it's morning, it's all rainy and gray here,
and no one is dancing around any trees, naked or otherwise.
Hey, wait a minute. Aren't ALL Trees naked???

John? George? Helloooooo?

George Martin, good to see you, wake those two up, would you?
Or get Brian to do it. We have a comeback album to make. Thank you.

I wish this all were as easy as I make it look. You have no idea.
Nor do you need one. I was the one who wanted to be superhuman.
I can't very well complain when I realize the amount of effort involved.

Now can I.

Oh what. The Tree Dancing bit.

Nah, I mostly wanna see her dance naked 'round the tree don't I.

Besides, nobody wants to see me naked, I assure you.

Just a bit of fun with it...

That said,

I will be smoking mine, and would be proud indeed to die beside you in battle,
but, let us hope, it'll be a bit more mellow and we can just enjoy a puff.

If not, you're Awesome, I'm Awesome,

The Awesome Should Stick Together.

I'd visit if you were closer.
You're not,
I'm on one end you're on another.

Damn sure curious to see and sample your batch.

Meanwhile, as Mr Brown put it,

"I got a bag of my own"
and I'm about to go hit that....

Then get back to work in the studio.

Oh, wow.

That would be cool.

I think I just got an idea for a song talking to you, Stoneman.

....but you left me all alone... now I'm a man made of man made of man made of
Man Made Of Stone.....

Hmmm...

okay let me see if that has bells and whistles with it...

Later,

~L, out

Cool my musical brother. Let me know when its up and I will be sure to check it out. I have been in the studio all day also. Not making much progress today though because I am also reteaching myself how to play some chords on the keys. Every since the brain surgery I have been forced to reteach myself a lot of shit. That's the bad news but the good news is that I retain anything new that I learn. What a trip. Some of my songs are way too complicated for my depleted skills. Every day is a day of discovery. Kind of cool and kind of frustrating at the same time.

Much Respect To You ALJ

Stoneman!

I have called you 'perhaps the biggest star here'....

Man, I gotta say, I just put the 'perhaps' in there to make everybody
else not get uptight, you are the biggest star here,

I too am at a loss in the memory department.
Tons of pot smoking in my life, ain't about to stop either, pot makes life possible...
Mostly it was having been dead, even a few minutes, that killed more memory...

so in a way, both you and I in our way,
have that old saying,

"I've forgotten more about this game than you youngsters are likely ever to know"

And the upside to having forgotten, Stone,

is we can, re-discover it.

We do have the heart, and if we level the effort at it, who knows.

I did incidentally go ahead and it became a song, and a pretty fine one.
"Man Made Of Stone" is now a song on the up and coming BEATLESEX album.

I wasn't trying to write about you per se, honestly, I was writing about me,
but I also had very much in mind,

"this thing has to be good enough, I mean way good enough,
that Stoneman will hear it, and think it is damned fuckin' cool"

Just wouldn't do to have Stoneman be not impressed
by a song that I only thought of 'cause I was talkin' to Stoneman,
and the 'man made of stone' idea popped into my head.

Yeah, you can't look back too long, Man.
Shit, I used to have so much music and ideas flowing through my head,
I thought it would never stop.

It's downright quiet now in comparison.

Even stuff we've forgotten... that ain't the point.

The point as I see it, as take all the heart we have now,
right now, 'cause now is the only place we can work from, you dig?
And run at that bastard like "wall, I'm coming through your ass, brace yourself"

Minds may grow, minds may go, but heart, heart moves mountains.
