Doorman Don't Dance

In building a solid hour of material is it important to go back to the skillsets of years past, and take things one piece at a time.

In my MANologues, CarRaps, spazzing out in other voices, an endless narrative where the only one listening is the microphone; I am reminded of poetry. Where a one or two-page sonnet was tightly edited and read to an audience from memory.

A piece that went on to have a life in college Speach and Debate, where other college students recited the lines of “The Guy in the Back on the Bus”, was a piece called “Medicine of Mics and Stages”. This video is of a birthday performance at The Bach Dynamite and Dancing Society in Half Moon Bay. I always like to perform on my birthday.

In bringing out old material, I write and read some newer work in the podcast above, “Doorman Don’t Dance”, part of a series on odd jobs.

Last week I announced to bring out some voice work, a slue of other voices, and I am still working in that direction, but am now looking for someone to read/hear/annotate in a kind of edit before I submit to larger goals. Let me know if you are interested: jw@madone.me

The Creative keeps pacing ahead, even though energy can be wild or sluggish. Finding the happy medium is the goal, for sustained persistent pursuits.

Still At It.

BAM (Building a Following)-

If you are up for spreading the word on this newsletter I will promote your link of choice. This week I watched fellow artist Justine Lucas, new artmaking video blog, “JUSTINEDOM”. I found it a good way to calm the nerves and get inspired to create. We are solo in our creativity, but community around creation is the ultimate way to feel that life matters.

Thank You for your Support.
