Here I proliferate my random thoughts and stories about music, movies, creativity and life. I'm a musician and I also think I'm funny and smart but no claims can be realistically made regarding any of those. Expect possibility of explicit or mature or immature content.

Featured segments include \"A Musical Nugget\" where I play music live, and \"GPT Corner\" where I talk about my adventures with AI.
