I’d like to first thank everyone for their kind comments and listening. My dad is thankfully home and out of the hospital. My afib was quiet this week. Buuuut my 2017 iMac decided its hard drive had enough of me. On Wednesday I was trying to be adventurous and revisit the Butch Vig drums that I had in kontakt. I hadn’t used it since WB24 when I made Darkillian’s Peak. Well somewhere in the past year I unwittingly upgraded the Native Instruments loader app which in turn changed how kontakt files were viewed. So on my old OS some libraries were no longer visible. The only solution was to upgrade OS or give up. I prob should have given up in this situation. When I tried to upgrade the OS the HD started acting weird. Long story short. The HD failed. Thankfully I anticipated this debacle and uploaded a track hours before.

Thankfully the repair shop I took it too was able to restore the original hd image and will also be installing an SSD HD rather than the old moving parts default hd I had. The scary thing is I do have Time Machine backups and I do have my music and pictures backed up on external. But initially when I tried to Time Machine to the failing hd it was only showing one backup from back ‘21. Soooo I’m hoping everything goes smoove for the repair dude.  It’s kind of sad that my whole life sorta resides in this one lil “box” (monitor). My music. My pictures. My memories. It makes me wish I just had a real piano and a 4 track sometimes. But the truth is without the computer I wouldn’t have released an album. I just hope I can get this before week 8. Or you might be hearing an acapellla track or even worse me trying to jam on the harmonica for 60 secs. So I apologize for the sorta slow_trash that is this week and possibly next week. My room feels so empty without the brain (cpu) of my music. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are all well. Looking forward to this weeks tunes though I might be a lil late as I have no pooter **ginger_waves**

PS I couldn't even save a pic into the track or edit tag info because my computer thought it was out of hd space while trying to upload thursday.  So I apologize for the less than usual post.
