Perspectives From An Older Musician

I talk (ramble) for a while about what it's like to be an older musician.also some corrections: I think I might have said Robert Daltrey instead of Roger Daltrey, or at least it sounds that way.Also Loyd Love and Cody never lived in the house I mentioned but they were in my band at various times and that's what I was referring to with them.I also forgot to mention another housemate, my friend Eric Electric from the band Krackpot who also sat in with my band at various times.We also had some people from the band Wee Doggies. I lived in the house mentioned from 1985 to 1990. It was in San Francisco near Alamo Square, an area thoroughly gentrified by now, but at that time far from gentrified, a place where a bunch of musicians could put as many people as possible under one roof to get the rent as low as possible. I could tell many many stories about this house but will not today.if you would like to support my path with a financial donation https://venmo.com/Jay_Socrates https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WCRBZ9FBMGSL2&ssrt=1776096181019I have 2 other podcastsDeeper Political Thinking-Jay Socrates Jay Socrates Talks on personal growthThis is a talk I gave on personal growth https://youtu.be/gFyj3qKl-r8?si=GteYyem7PF6Z-5DqMusic podcastSinger Songwriter podcastMusician podcastOriginal Songs PodcastPersonal podcastBusking PodcastStreet Musician PodcastArtist PodcastBusking Stories PodcastLife Experiences PodcastPersonal Stories PodcastBusking Tips Podcast Street Performance PodcastStreet Artist PodcastMusical Artists PodcastLive Music Podcast

Episode 11 - More wanking on lead

Another excuse to play some leads. Lots of mistakes and sloppy playing, I just plugged in without warming up. Sooner or later this will get deleted too, but at least you get to hear me some play some more lead.if you would like to support my path with a financial donation https://venmo.com/Jay_Socrates https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WCRBZ9FBMGSL2&ssrt=1776096181019I have 2 other podcastsDeeper Political Thinking-Jay Socrates Jay Socrates Talks on personal growthThis is a talk I gave on personal growth https://youtu.be/gFyj3qKl-r8?si=GteYyem7PF6Z-5DqMusic podcastSinger Songwriter podcastMusician podcastOriginal Songs PodcastPersonal podcastBusking PodcastStreet Musician PodcastArtist PodcastBusking Stories PodcastLife Experiences PodcastPersonal Stories PodcastBusking Tips Podcast Street Performance PodcastStreet Artist PodcastMusical Artists PodcastLive Music Podcast

Episode 10-Three chords with lead

I plugged in my Looper, recorded a couple of chords, played lead over them for a while. If I was actually recording this for an album I probably would have deleted the track, but it gives you a little idea. Listen to it now because there's a good chance I will delete it sooner or later and replace it with something else.if you would like to support my path with a financial donation https://venmo.com/Jay_Socrates https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WCRBZ9FBMGSL2&ssrt=1776096181019I have 2 other podcastsDeeper Political Thinking-Jay Socrates Jay Socrates Talks on personal growthThis is a talk I gave on personal growth https://youtu.be/gFyj3qKl-r8?si=GteYyem7PF6Z-5DqMusic podcastSinger Songwriter podcastMusician podcastOriginal Songs PodcastPersonal podcastBusking PodcastStreet Musician PodcastArtist PodcastBusking Stories PodcastLife Experiences PodcastPersonal Stories PodcastBusking Tips Podcast Street Performance PodcastStreet Artist PodcastMusical Artists PodcastLive Music Podcast

Song-Fall From Grace

A lot of people think I'm just an acoustic guitarist but the truth is I'm mostly a rock guitarist but when you're playing solo it's just easier to play acoustic. This is an original song. I've kept it very simple without a lot of leads even though I am very much a lead guitarist. You have to use your imagination to hear the band and a bunch of the leads but I know you can do that.if you would like to support my path with a financial donation https://venmo.com/Jay_Socrates https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WCRBZ9FBMGSL2&ssrt=1776096181019I have 2 other podcastsDeeper Political Thinking-Jay Socrates Jay Socrates Talks on personal growthThis is a talk I gave on personal growth https://youtu.be/gFyj3qKl-r8?si=GteYyem7PF6Z-5DqMusic podcastSinger Songwriter podcastMusician podcastOriginal Songs PodcastPersonal podcastBusking PodcastStreet Musician PodcastArtist PodcastBusking Stories PodcastLife Experiences PodcastPersonal Stories PodcastBusking Tips Podcast Street Performance PodcastStreet Artist PodcastMusical Artists PodcastLive Music Podcast
