Over the past several months I’ve changed my mind about the usefulness of posting my music on streaming platforms. The payout is pitiful and the streams mostly don’t end up as listeners purchasing my albums and/or single tracks. I know my music only appeals to a small segment of the audience, but even so, it would be nice to get some recognition.

The overarching classification of my music is minimalist in nature. I’m not really into lush compositions with dozens or, like most pop music today, hundreds of different sounds and parts to the music. I like to create simple soundscapes that fit into a background track to your daily life, rather than in-your-face compositions.

What do you think I should work on?

I try to walk every day, and keep to it all days of the week, except when my sciatica acts up. The sciatica has a habit of affecting my right leg on almost a daily basis, but between the Gabapentin and a couple of Tylenol Arthritis, the pain is held in check.

And it’s not really a short walk. I try hard to do at least 5 kilometers, which is more than 3 miles. I struggle to maintain a steady pace, but I usually walk for about a hour and a half. Not a rapid pace, but it’s all a 72 year older can manage without injuries.

I guesss one of my favorite genres is the blues, as I’ve got over 7,000 tracks in my library. However my days of playing the guitar have long passed. I suppose I’ve got arthritis; my hands and wrist ache almost constantly. I find keyboard work to be less painful. I eat these on a fairly frequent basis.
