“Everyone gets their own burden, everyone gets their own special beating in life.” -Flea
Last night my gifted bandmate said in kind, “You don’t need to get better at guitar, you just need to get better.” (Painting angel wings on him in memory.)
I believe I am getting better. That My Little Dark Age is lifting… I’ve got to believe it.
Dawn is arriving and I’m attacking the fretboard with newfound vigor and attention. Pretty Woman and for a split second, Eddie smiles through. It’s him, it’s really him! The Crazy Diamond I used to know.

Believe in yourself; your shadow side will reveal itself to you! (This quote is my own!)😉🖖
Quotes from you and other great philosophers are always welcome🖖🤙
Oh, brothe, You’ve made my day!😅🙏🖖🤙
great writing ! love ‘my little Dark Age is lifting’ 🙂
Hope you continue to get better. Good to hear from you though.
Keep on playing!
Music is one of the great things we have in life. It’s one of the arts that saves me ever day.
Coulda married a lawyer, a developer, an advertising exec… you know, but I married a guitar player. (made me the family’s black sheep… a musician …a fate worse than anything! The humiliation! )
Life could have been a lot easier, but not greater.
Cuz it’s about SouL Power😎 Isn’t it!? You love art, fashion, music, and guitar is your fav instrument. Your soul craves immersion in that world. I know I need it.
Understood!
Shine on you 🤪💎!
You too🐉🔮
This is awesome! Music is life, even as a film lover, I think music is integral in the cinematic experience. Btw, you probably know this already but Eddie Van Halen was half Indonesian, her mom was Indo and her dad was Dutch 😉
I knew that but forgot; thanks for sharing that! And in a WAyy, Europe and Asia are now descendents of Eddie!🌏
Just keep on trucking!
That’s it! Your knowledge of English language and its nuances always impresses me. I will😼
I had to try 3 times until the reply was posted… in the first one I wrote how 2025 started strangely with a lot of things happening at home and at work in January alone. It feels it’s gonna be an intense year!
Every new year we hold our breath and wait for ‘the shit to hit the fan’ as we say of chaos in the U.S. 😅😓 Best wishes to you and the family🥋🙏

Yes to music. Few things feed the soul more directly.
Two sources of much joy for me lately:
1.
Can’t say I understand 90 percent of what is being sung, but still, I’m lifted.
2.
A new phase is on the horizon. 🌤☀️
This is a good omen🌞🎵🎧
Agreed. 🤓
