Musical dissident. Jesu Java. #mandolin #mandocello #tenorguitar #songwriter - songs of dissidence, prayer, confession and love.

Oops sorry Mountain standard, 6:15/30 pacific

Going to do a #nostrnest concert tonight- I’ll get things going around 7:15/30 singing songs about love and God and the end of the American empire - was hoping to do it earlier but apparently we have a community meeting in our neighborhood at 5:30 I need to attend. #grownostr #plenchain #mountainmandolinband

So my wife was listening and said the balance between the vocal and instruments was off from her perspective. We are going to try running it through a mixer or a DAW for the next one.

It’s too bad- I’d really like for it to work. Promoting music online has in large part become all about the video. I really love how this works and the bitcoin integration and really a lot about it - but something might need to be done about video for this to work for certain content creators.

I think if I want to share video I’ll continue to link from my instagram account until something changes.

I just tried to upload a 3 minute video recorded on my phone to nostr.build and it said the file size is too large.

Also- for those who tuned into the #nostrnest last week- I am going to shoot to do another this week- probably Thursday. The audio quality was definitely sub par last week so we are going to run it a little differently this time and hopefully make it sound better overall. I’m thinking 6ish MST #grownostr #plebchain #mountainmandolinband

This is the album art from my old album Poison in the Wires - which is essentially the second of the of the two disc set/digital album Things That Came Before- I still love this artwork thinking of making some t-shirts or stickers with the design.

Hot off the press… I have physical audio product for the first time in a while- a 2 disc set of 38 songs. Things that came before- meaning all my old material re released. The same album is available on Spotify and iTunes but only has 35 songs (distrokid limit) - order yours today. Uh. How? That’s a good question. Anyway coming soon. 😳 playing tonight at the @goldminesaloon Idaho city. Let’s get loud. 7pm- if your not at my show you should probably be figuring out how to set up your #nostr profile. #grownostr #mountainmandolinband #birddogsandbanjos #mandolin #songwriter #countrypunk

Just had a close encounter with a Tom- just didn’t quite give me the shot I wanted. Probably should have packed a decoy this morning. Show tonight in Idaho City at 7 pm. Gold Mine. #turkeyhunting #crossbowhunting #mountainmandolinband #birddogsandbanjos #songwriter #mandolin #octavemandolin #grownostr #plebchain

I may not always play with a lineup but I try to bring enough instruments for a whole band whenever possible 😳. I’ll be playing all these slinging original tunes and covers of country, punk and indie songs tomorrow night @goldminesaloon @goldmine6b 7pm. I’m doing a lot of cross platform stuff and trying to see what works. Last night I did a streaming set on #nostrnests that was a lot of fun- planning for another next week. If you aren’t there yet- it feels like MySpace in 2005. Anyway if you’re in the #boise area head up to #idahocity for the show tomorrow night at 7pm. I’ll have CDs for sale - I know I know vinyl is cooler but this two disc set has 35 songs for $20, and I couldn’t have fit that on vinyl. Hope to see some folks in Idaho city! #mountainmandolinband #birddogsandbanjos #mandolin #octavemandolin #mandocello #mandocellosofinstagram #dammanncustominstruments #weber #eastwood #eastwoodguitars #tenorguitar #sparrowukulele #guild #guildd55 #grownostr #nostrnests #plebchain

But I’m just going to bed… though seeing people post things like this on nostr is making me want to get more done. So even though I’m probably gonna sleep first- here’s to getting it done today! #grownostr #plebchain
