Another month is beginning, so it’s time for an update blog. Although there’s not much new to speak of, everything I’m already working on is coming along quite well. The “Magix Music Maker 2016 Premium” software that I bought is fully compatible with the “Music Maker Jam” app that I used to write 3 new tracks on my smart phone (10 total). "Magix Music Maker 2016 Premium" comes with over 6,500+ sounds and loops, 17 virtual instruments, unlimited tracks, professional effects & mastering plug-ins. All of that makes me very happy. Happy is good.
I’m adding poetry and lyrics like crazy now. Lyrics are still being “updated” more than I would care, though. The count is at 30 separate songs worth of lyrics. Still writing a poetry book with one poem per each style there is, so why stop writing lyrics when they can turn into poems for a poetry book ? So... that’s still the plan now. Like I said before, not really much new other than gradual progress in my current creative works. As usual, I encourage comments on anything and everything musical, poetic, musicology, and what have you. I like talking about philosophy too, seeing as how it tends to free up my mind to write and compose. Again, if you’d like to get in touch to bounce creative ideas off of me, that would be terrific. Until next time, I wish you all of the best, and hope that your journey brings you back to my site. Sincerely, Hobbes Deutsch, Jr.

The Ghost, me, and my parents made a road trip to Nashville, Tennessee just before the 4th of July. Was a great vacation to go see my Mom's side of the family, whom I secretly love more than I ever say. My 2 cousins and their respective families all own Pinewood Store and Restaurant. They cook unbelievably great tasting food. Also their menu is full of the healthiest food you can get, but if you're just not open to gluten free and vegan, they have grass-fed beef and free range chicken.
The second amazing thing about it ? My beautiful cousin Mee Tracy McCormick, her noble husband Lee McCormick, their 2 girls and Mee's strong, and very real, sister Nicole Tracy... they grow and raise all of their vegetables and stock on Pinewood Ranch: cow and sheep herding dogs, horses, and everything else. One night, we all sat around listening to my Uncle Mike and Aunt Melinda play guitar and sing, like they have all of their lives (they have a music recording studio in their basement). Another day, everybody went kayaking together, and also I road around the ranch with my brave-to-take-all-of-this-on cousin Mee, her friend Patrick, and The Ghost looking at all of the animals and fields of vegetables. A most sincere thanks to all of you who helped make it such an awesome time. Can't wait until the next family outing. Next on the list my parents, the Ghost, and I met up with my sister and her family in West Virginia for the 4th of July weekend. The area is close to Seneca Rock (a huge monolith best known by rock-climbing adventurers) and we all went spelunking in the Seneca Caverns. We had rented a place there: a couple bonfires, roasting marshmallows, a hot tub, a grill, some fireworks... wow. Well... that's all my storytelling for tonight. If you'd like more information about Pinewood Store and Restaurant click on the link below. I should have an update about all things creative in a few days. Thanks for spending a little time with me and my ramblings. G'night. www.pinewoodstoreandkitchen.com/
I am a falcon, I am a bird of prey,
making a killing in a different way. Grown weary of flying in circles, losing ground chasing miracles, I’m just evil enough to know it. But too ashamed to ever show it. Am I making your skin, crawl ? or am I making your skin, thicker ? Am I making your skin, crawl ? or am I making your skin, thicker ? Is any of this sinking through ? Thought you had me, didn’t you ? Well… maybe you do. For whatever it may be worth to you, my one night stands were few and far between. Don’t mean to play my dismay in some cheap cliché, but when the walls fell, as I was facing Hell, There was my answer in a played-out movie line. “You make me want to be a better person.” Now I ask you: don’t those words ring true ? I could have stayed struggling and insane. I could have kept believing / living the lie. When I saw you, shining through, I had the chance; I had the choice. I took the chance; I made the choice, Far beyond spellbound by your voice. No longer a falcon, no bird of prey, I sing a new song on a born again day. Given up flying in circles, to rest these bones in the home of my nest. Don’t understand exactly why or how. But you’re all that matters now. Pray this doesn’t make your skin crawl. Pray you’ll choose to let me in. Pray this doesn’t make your skin crawl. Pray you’ll choose to let me in. Is any of this ringing through to true ? Thought you had me, didn’t you ? Well… you know that you do. Oh... you know you do. |
