I could have started off this post with a much larger and more gruesome photo post. Be glad that I did not. [shudder]
I had Exploratory Knee Surgery on this past Tuesday. It wasn’t much fun on its own, but with my wife there to keep me company (and some VERY, VERY strong post-op drugs), I had some fun. That, plus the fun of meeting nurses, doctors, and lab techs that I’d met from previous admissions, and we all had a good lime. I got to tell them about the works I have up on my MyScore account (also loacted at this link, but with score previews and full audio previews online), and I got to play one or two of the latest arrangements I’ve done since April (e.g., Bruckner’s 2nd, 1st Movement).
In any event, the surgery went well as far as I can tell, and the post-operative period is going about the same. I had a goodly about of bleeding into what I’m calling my “blood grenade” (it’s a vacuum pump that’s shaped like an American M26 grenade). I didn’t experience any swelling that I’m aware of this time, so that’s good. My next appointment is in 2 weeks, so we’ll see what happens then.
Now, to cease the medical droning (I know, I know), In addition to what’s been going on with Bruckner’s 2nd, 1st Movement, I’m working on his 2nd movement now, as well! I’m also looking for someone, ANYONE, who could bring me a working cover version of any of the songs on my Calibrations album, with the exceptions of Spicewood (track 12), and the two speech-only tracks in tracks 13 and 14. Only one track entry per true name or synonym, so don’t go off and fire me 20,000 tracks from 20,000 proxies. We *will* check you out.
With that said, have fun, and good luck! I hope you’ll enter. The entry deadline is September 30, 2024.
FINALLY! After all the wait, after all the hype, after all the cryptic lyrics posts, FINALLY! The collaboration single between San Antonio Nü-Metal band Agony and myself is out! COME GET SOME is finally available on major streaming outlets. Here are some links:
