Interesting... I did have TWO listeners for a few seconds (interestingly, while playing a song by THE CURE. They are HOT right now!) However, my original intention was just to have music playing in the background while I worked on other stuff, then somebody showed up and hung out for a while... WEIRD...
I'm pretty sure that you can go to the "HANGOUT" page and listen to the music I played by clicking the "History" button! Here's a link to the HANGOUT: https://hang.fm/profile/a870fa65-0646-4be3-86eb-472808fef066
OR, if you want to join the party and get your own profile, you can! Here's my profile page:
https://hang.fm/profile/a870fa65-0646-4be3-86eb-472808fef066
People with profiles can chat, pick tunes, make playlists, start their own HANGOUT rooms... It's a HOOT!!!

"Pink Cupcake (Nonsense)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Freestyle poetry, but a really drunk poet who isn't able to hear what he's saying... And a goblin. Sure...

"Sick Terror" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] I THINK this is a partially-conscious memory trip into Marvel Comics bad guys... Or maybe I'm all wacked out on cough syrup...

"Smile Like You MEAN It" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] If he gives you THIS look, it's best to stay away, unless you want trouble... And trust me, please... You do NOT want trouble like this...

Friday... Evening... (Probably qualifies as night, honestly...) I've been sick for a couple days, but I've decided (just now) that it's time to get better. I'm going to sleep really well tonight and when I get up in the A.M., I'll be all healthed up! Looking forward to coffee... (I could have some now, I guess, but 8:00 P.M. isn't the best time to get all caffeinated.)
Anyway, so I'm doing a "STATE OF THE BRAIN" evaluation. How am I doing? (Besides the runny nose...) I finally got my BandCamp page up, which I've been putting off for weeks...or months... I've been working on music, and enjoying LISTENING to music, which is also important! I've done a metric smurf-ton of drawing lately, even if I haven't actually photographed and shared most of it... I don't need the social media validation to feel good about stuff I've created. (It's a bonus, sometimes, but there's also the risk that something I'm really proud of will get completely ignored. Indifference is the worst...) So... am I pleased with my current progress and direction?? Sure!
Tomorrow, if I'm healed up enough by the evening, we are gonna try to go to a local concert at a bar. A bunch of peeps that we know are playing, and I think Ellie is going, too. Hooray! I should take a bunch of photos...

"Home is Like No Place" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, and colored pencil on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] This is how I think and process and play... On paper with ink... And THAT image is a U.F.O., not a U.A.P.! Flying saucer, full on! (The fun kind in which buckwheat pancakes are cooked!)
