@pulmyears.bsky.social

Oh look! It's just EIGHT albums of EXCEPTIONAL Rock & Roll!

It's there for the whole world to discover...AND SHARE (widely).

There's a young musical GENIUS who loves Wilco, Paul Westerberg, and NRBQ?

*He'd probably a great on a PODCAST.

I grew-up weirdly around a bunch of singer/songwriter folk who would be on a Mt. Rushmore of Americana.

One was Townes Van Zandt, my Godfather.

TVZ fanclub made a shirt that said "Get Involved With A LEGEND".

THAT IS

***GABRIEL BERNINI***

Imagine a young Elvis Costello fronting classic lineup NRBQ.

"Ride Romeo" LP was recorded in WILCO's studio w/ Q-Drummer John Perrin.

Goodbye Bluesky?

Not so much, but I am starting to see much better engagement for what I've been trying to do on social media with music influencing and instruction via REDDIT.

What's the name of the Ready Fret Go Reddit you ask?

Well it's...

Happy #NZmusicmonth! Maybe you'll see our faces plastered around Aotearoa as part of NZMC's 'Outplay', which is calling for all New Zealanders to try and outstream global cities throughout May.

Pervert-tier kit is my middle name, baby! πŸ₯΅

I'll be talking more about this instrument in another vid, but basically it's a taishōgoto synthesizer. Although that only scratches the surface of how weird and wonderful it is.

Here I am playing some Ishikawa Sayuri on it... PLUS SAX πŸ’–πŸŽ·βœ¨

Ready Fret Go! would like to apologize for mistakenly calling @timbaltz.bsky.social "Tim Balz" in recent posts.

We assure you this was COMPLETELY accidental because we forgot his last name is actually, "BALTZ".

Mr. Balz was DEATHLY funny on Righteous Gemstones and is a COMIC GENIUS.

Dammit! 🀦🏼
