   It happens ;)

   I never expected to do any more than recoup the cost of making the albums if   
   even that, and since I Love playing, no problem.

   The Love Vibe is a psychological/spiritual condition conducive to totally   
   Loving the show and totally getting into and being thoroughly moved by it.   
   It can happen sometimes even when fakery is used but it's best when   
   *everything* is Truly Live!

   Then those 'track' were recorded, by those with the cellphones ;)   
      
   > we were alive.   
      
   More or less. More when it's *all* Truly Live, less when not so much.   
      
   > I like recording.   
      
   Me too, particularly when it's albums ;)   
      
   > it's cool you started out so wise :-)   
      
   Not so much wise as a necessity being the mother of invention survival   
   situation, which is probably why I'm still among the living now.   
   Caring what people think can be Very Hazardous to one's health as is every   
   now and then evidenced when a weak minded person on an online social network   
   commits suicide because they were 'cyber bullied'.   
      
   > I know death is coming. ..... it's just that lately it seems closer ....   
   > like they say about objects in the rear view mirror.   
      
   Some lyrics in the  Pink Floyd  tune "Time" states:   
   "...shorter of breath, one day closer to death..."   
      
   But I say LIVE FIRST, and Only then think about death ;)

   > creepy.   
      
   It's evolution is already well under way, in a large part because there's no   
   Honest Non-Zombie Innovative Creativity to fill the spaces left by the great   
   artists when they leave this world...which is much more than yet another   
   reason to write songs!   
      
   > In your sense, it has to be a one off, live thing. No recordings, no   
   > video, right ?   
      
   Yep. Just Live musicians performing Live ;)   
      
   > time ....   
      
   Time for new songs ;)   
      
   > so every chef should create only their original recipes ?   
      
   If it's Fresh instead of Stale, sure!   
      
   > If I order scrambled egss, I want scrambled eggs. Not something like that   
   > but not. So how does that fit in ?   
      
   I'm sure you'd want them Fresh, not Stale.   
      
   > go for it.   
      
   That's a song on the second album about doing precisely that, hence its   
   title, "Go For It" ;)

   Just so long as it's a Labor of Love!   
      
   > I hope you find a way to live your dream.   
      
   We're working on it - can't happen too soon!   
      
   > We do great with our covers. Who knows way. Doesn't matter why, as long as

   The only way to test that is with some Awesome Originals!   
      
   > I don't have the free time.  Sad, huh.   
      
   As long as I'll always have time for Music, I'll be happy ;)

   I guess those things happen sometimes.
