Good points Mike! I am over thinking a lot these days. It’s keeping me from recording. I just gotta remember to have fun.

[@424Recording]

Same here, Henry. I feel like I always come back to that idea of fun. That's the whole point of all this music stuff at the end of the day but it's so easy to lose sight of! Cheers, dude, and thanks for watching this series

[@nowavecharles]

424 Recording of course man. Gotta get back into it. Hopefully going to make some progress today haha.

[@424Recording]

It seems like you're moving along from this end!

[@nowavecharles]

424 Recording haha yeah. Got stuff ready for the album my dude. Excited to get it out there at some point

[@424Recording]

Heck, yeah. Sounds good, dude. Just keep stacking those tracks!

[@helluvakhai]

[@Mark_Williams300]

That looks like a backhanded compliment if ever I saw one :p

[@424Recording]

Thanks, Khai! I hope your insomnia goes away!

[@424Recording]

Haha Mark I think he actually can't sleep!

In my current song writing experiments I’ve been using Dan Harmons Story Circle. Funny how it totally still works for songwriting

[@424Recording]

That's awesome! I saw a video on that, Kai! I gotta try that, too. Thanks for the idea! I haven't been feeling too inspired lately

These are my favorite videos, pep talk/ life advice framed through musical life. What happened to the podcast Mike? Keep up the good work brother.

[@awienc]

Summer Of George I started to miss the podcast too :p

[@424Recording]

Hey George! What are some of your favorite ones? I want to get back into doing more of these. The podcast is tough to keep up and Jason and I got busy unfortunately. I'd love to bring it back at some point. I've also been starting to feel like I pontificate too much haha. Thanks, I will!

[@summerofgeorge585]

Imposter syndrome, the exercise one, generally appreciate the discussions that evaluate the struggle with innerself and creativity. Definitely feel how you connect restlessness with life satisfaction and creating music as the outlet. The short vlogs on these topics are great in your unique voice. Oh ya, 'finding your voice' was a good podcast too. I write and record in a similar vein (sort of), so the podcasts are great pep talks and 'centerings'.

[@424Recording]

Thanks, George. I want to eventually cull all of these together into a book or something so this is a big help. I appreciate you taking the time to reflect on this and send me your thoughts. That's what I was going for with those! I'm glad to hear they found their audience in you! Cheers, George!

[@Cantrip1957]

Hi, really enjoying your channel. What you say rings true!

[@424Recording]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear! I feel like I pontificate too much sometimes haha. Thanks for watching!

[@RogerHeathers]

[@424Recording]
