My 10th Lightning Strike Anniversary is coming up on July 21st, and we're making a big deal out of it! And YOU are invited: here's the link to the Facebook Invite with all the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/812080733658458

(If you don't have Facebook, I think this type of link may work anyway, if not, email me for the details).

I hope you enjoy this remastered repost. I hope to do a live song or two on Wednesday and a brand new normal episode on Friday.

Thanks for listening!

These 6 mini songs (2 of which are featured today) were commissioned by a friend who wished to remain anonymous. The songs are for a supplement to her homeschool curriculum, which mostly focused on positive things about the United States.

Opportunities to see me live include:

Island Wing Company Grill & Bar - Harrisonburg

More Importantly: Cave Fest: July 15 and 16 at Melrose Caverns. https://www.melrosecaverns.com/comedy

Most importantly; Save the evening of July 21st for a potluck followed by a concert by me, possibly with a comedy friend opening for me, and likely at the Hershberger Event Barn. 25% of the proceeds will go to NAMI for mental health research. Stay tuned for details.

As always, if you'd like to commission a song, please reach out at [email protected] of 434-218-2618

It is interesting to note how "Not My Muse" feels like it makes sense with my recent relationship that I sang about in Ep 105.

Also, apologies for the popping 'P' noises. I seem to have that one figured out by now =)

Best,

Here are two weddings songs, one new and one old.

My brother-in-law Yugo produced the first song and played all the instruments, although I wrote the lyrics and mixed and mastered it. Also, notably, the center section of the first song is a parody of the epic anti-war classic "The General" by Dispatch. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdAlCXNPlCk

The second song was a major group effort.

The Nathan and Kaitlin Wedding Song is by: The Apostle Paul, Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Carmen Schrock-Hurst, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst. At the wedding, it was performed by Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Larisa Zehr, David Jost, Stewart Nafziger, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst. 10 years later we got almost everyone to submit a recording including Nathan and Kaitlin themselves, (THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING!)  I mixed it together and this is the result.  Hope you enjoyed it, and know that YOU TOO COULD COMMISSION ME TO WRITE A SONG FOR  YOU, simply email [email protected] if you are interested...

Here's an episode I made purely for myself. If you like it too, that's just gravy, (as the saying goes).

Here's the link I promised: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/it-aint-me-babe-rough-cut

Other than that, please be sure to check out the new website: HoldThatNote.net and also make sure you're subscribed to the show on your favorite podcast app.

Today's episode spirals around the question of how we should know which decisions to rethink and which to stick with.

I discuss ⁠Beethoven⁠, ⁠Seth Godin⁠, ⁠Adam Grant⁠, and the YouTube channel ⁠Productivity Game⁠.

I would love your feedback on this or any previous episode.   Email me at [email protected]

You can find the song Inexcusable on the album A Taste Of Lightning Lucas, wherever you get your music.  Or you can download it directly from me at ⁠lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/a-taste-of-lightning-lucas⁠

Have a wonderful listening week,

--Lucas-- (Summer 2021)

P.S. I would also love to have you as a supporter.  Just check out ⁠Patreon.com/LightningLucas⁠ or email me with an idea for a song commission (or call Fiv-For-Zeero-746-0398)

The only things I would add here are that you can now download "Thought It Through" on the album "Cold-Hearted Monkeys" at lightninglucas.bandcamp.com ... and that the new website is worth checking out: https://linktr.ee/lightninglucas
