That's awesome!! Jethro Tull was probably a great show!
And yes, it is quite a bit different now, but I played music and was always at shows (before kids). I get offered tickets all the time, but I think I've done enough hearing damage at 32.. Playing in front of a full stack of marshall amps with drums pounding in your ears for a decade has a way of taking a toll..haha
Did you know that Tony Iommi lost his finger tips at 17 and still ended up having a successful guitar career?! I didn't believe it until I met him at a show and saw him quickly hide his hand. Then I , of course, googled it. It is pretty admirable, not sure why he would hide it. And Bob Ross - that was shocker to me, I never would've guessed!
Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi is a godfather of heavy metal, but his career was almost cut short. As a 17-year-old, Iommi was involved in an industrial accident that resulted in the loss off the tips of middle and ring fingers on his right hand.
Still shreds! I saw the Black Sabbath farewell tour and the reunion tour. Between Ozzy and Sabbath I've been to 8 shows between the two. Funny thing is I spent so much time at concert, I started working at them. I got free tickets and passes for all sorts of good shows. Sometimes I'd be handing out demo tapes for bands or working a beer stand. Anything to get in for the show. My brother started working there too (edit: but you'd already know that..wink)((there being a large local concert pavilion called Merryweather)), so we could get in free..Damn good times!
That's wild to learn! I love that most art comes from adversity. And, I suppose, that last sentence just put meaning into my Flame Painting explorations...
Also neat that you worked at what you loved! My software career was similar, I loved teaching the computer to do things.

Yes it sure does
art in any medium is a great outlet. I think I'd die without some outlet to create. One reason I'm thankful for this platform. I admire people that can teach computers what to do - I struggle enough with my kids..haha All jokes aside, I have always found ways to work at what I love, whether it paid or not. I have done all sorts of jobs and have learned many trades. I enjoy learning. I had never seen Flame Painting until you shared some works. Haven't been on much lately, it's been chaos and conundrums for me. I'll go explore some of your paintings now ;) Happy Friday and send some good videos my way whenever you like - you curate music and video better than most tv networks! Seriously!

Wow thank you so much for that ending! :)
As far as children, they tend to interpret the words we throw at them. Computers, not so much. :) But -- you need to be specific in communication, which I've learned to do -- but talking to my family is an exercise in ambiguity...
I hadn't seen Flame Painter until three weeks ago when I visited my friend, who's now basically the other side of this continent so I won't see him for a while. Punning, I suppose both of us are in-continent? :D
I'm so glad he shared it with me. My brain feels a little more connected now. This healing takes time -- but some things can speed it up.
