He laughed like he wasn’t breaking inside.

I Silently Cried

He laughed like he wasn’t breaking inside
Masking the tension that he wanted to hide
Troubles and sorrows trying to fry his brain
Inside that rubber room I felt so damn insane
Visiting my reality is where I silently cried

I Need a Raise

And not the shitty cola increase they are offering and then being taking away with Medicare part D removal. YOU GO TRUMP! straight to hell.

Adjective - Delightful; joyous.

Since I am retired and the salary “Social Security” I am underpaid with each month, many jobs would be turned down quickly. I would need some fantastic perks to go with the salary like equal raises, 1st class travel, bonuses upon completion, you get the idea.

Or am I reading the daily wrong? Does this ask if the salary hasn’t changed from when I had the job back when? Either way, the answer remains the same this morning. It would be NONE! In this day of outrageous inflation you couldn’t expect anyone in their right mind to do a job for the meager pay of the past, besides, I enjoy being retired and doing whatever I want to, when I want to do it.

In the early Sunday sunshine
Starbucks awakens my mind
Challenges are set forth to use
Frabjous answers for you to view
Even if most of them are asinine

Rewind and Replay

Three days in sixty-eight years, tough choice.

{The why’s are highlighted.}

Even leaving the daily at one I would find this tough. I thought about tossing Esther’s challenge in the mix which could easily heat up the answer but…

I guess the first one that comes to mind would be from 1991/92, don’t remember the exact date but the experience was unforgettable. I overcame one of my biggest fears by stepping out of an airplane at 3000′. Scared shitless I was until my chute was fully opened, then a beautiful peaceness overcame me as I floated down to earth. I missed the target landing from about a mile because the instructor kept telling on a one-way speaker in my helmet to watch out for a fence I couldn’t see, so I steered myself into an open field. I wanted to go again but the wind had picked up to much so they shut down for safety reasons and I just never tried again.

2 – July 4th, 1996 This date has been burned into my mind. I finished the work week on the 2nd and having the next four days off, I make the bad choice of going on a three day mind bender. I started out the evening by getting a six pack and making two strawberry pies for our family reunion on the fourth and needing to make a peach cobbler for my sister.{(Never got to that}

I went to the American Legion meeting up with my boss and some other friends and family. After they all have the common sense to quit and go home I hooked up with some other friends and took {catching a buzz} to the professional level. I closed the bar, partied all night and opened the bars the next day. On July 4th at 12:10 am I was standing in my living room while a friend was searching through my music collection for something to listen to. He had a guy with him I didn’t know and he was across the room from me. He picked up my thirty-eight and said he was going to shoot me so I pulled my .357 out and as I brought it up to fire I hit the hair trigger and shot myself in the knee.

The docs at the ER kept talking about cutting my leg at the knee and I wasn’t having any of that shit, let me tell ya. A doc was walking by and came over to reassure me he would save my leg. The result was a year on my back but 96% of movement remains today.

One happy memory and one unforgettable nightmare that I hold dearly in my heart for different reasons. The third?

Your prompt word is FIRE ✅

December 2/26 I bought into the app Suno Pro
The beginning of a journey with a long way to go
Money spent on new gadgets & stuff for me to sing
Not knowing the future this addiction could bring
Creating a new spark for poems that I have written
Not knowing if their worthy enough of giving a listen
I'll keep travelling this path as long as I have the desire
To create music with AI that helps fuel my inner fire 

1. Three o'clock Blues

With this post finished I’m off to the mic and practice

Happy Friday my friends! A2126 ©https://www.peaceful-threads.com

Reflections or Regrets?

Cleaning the Blackboard or Scratching the Fleas?

One of the first answers today was to erase the events that happened to my parents on February 6 1958, my birth. That didn’t last very long though, a blink in the eye of time, because let’s face it, I enjoy being here most of the time.

Maybe I would go with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I have often wondered what history would look like if he hadn’t been shot. I have a strong dislike for the events following his death and believe LBJ screwed the pooch as well as America.

I’m keeping these answers in my lifeline so the third choice would probably be the internet. Even though it has been useful and helped the world in many ways I think it has accelerated the downfall of society. I mean yeah, I can find out what Kim Lee made for supper in Shanghai last night or what Peppy Morgan dislikes about blood pudding but is this trade off worth what I am doing in my life right now?

Damn Skippy it is, which brings me to why I am writing this post.

Welcome to another update of my journey with AI.

Good morning. I wasn’t planning on doing the daily prompt but plans are like the wind, changing on a moments notice. Yesterday found me laying tracks down all day. I recorded one song repeatedly filling up one side of a reel 2 1/2 times, (about 85 minutes per side or roughly 70 takes) and still am at the starting line with it. It is 3:04 long and after seven hours the day was finished with two takes I liked enough to transfer to my DAW today and see if I can keep any parts of them in editing.

Editing is nothing like when I did my books, way more technical and challenging to me. The two takes I kept might leave me with less than 1 minute of the track I can use for the final outcome.. I am feeling more comfortable with singing and even have been finding my groove so to speak. The problem? keeping my vocals in the same pitch or range. I tend to change octaves quite often and although less than before I still get out of tune easily. 😁

The good news, I am feeling relaxed in knowing I’m finding my range in vocals as well as the distance I need to be from the mic so as not to overpower the music or be so far away as it sounds like I’m not in the same room as the music. I’ve also found that breaks are needed throughout the day. If I don’t take a break my vocal chords start feeling scratchy and I don’t want to over do it. So it goes that 1 – this is way more complicated than I thought it would be and 2 – the rain is both tears of joy and regret as I step into the void and try to fulfill my goal.

Happy Wednesday to you all and may the sounds of success fill your world with fuzzy thoughts as I try to learn my DAW this morning before jumping back into the rhythm of practice makes…more practice.

A Little of This, A Little of That

Just going where the keys take me on the start of the weekend.

A new challenge for me to try out, I found it through Kymber’s site https://booomcha.com/

Hello and happy Friday, friends! We’re ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we’d love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.

1. The older I get, the _________ I get.

2. I frequent _________.

3. Back in my day, we _________ at school.

4. I _________ during these last few weeks of summer.

A1 - The older I get, the more solitary I get.
A2 - I frequent more sites about AI law then I ever did before.
A3 - Back in the day, we said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school
A4 - I start growing my beard during these last few weeks of summer

A Little of This

I might as well ramble for a minute. Have you ever found a point where you just want to admit total defeat and quit? I’m sure we all have been there {I know I have many times}. I am at a crossroads with my AI journey. I understand the new laws being implemented and agree that they are needed for control of the mass slop flooding the air waves. I also understand Suno and other platforms putting Strick rules in place.

After September everyone in Suno will have a download limit, with a Pro account I will be limited to 20 a month. I’m okay with this too as I don’t download that many anyway. I have went in there and downloaded many since this announcement as they are unlimited before then and I don’t want my work trapped in their site. This doesn’t mean I am going to churn out a shit ton of stuff before then either. Just removing ones I think I’ll use in my DAW and since I’ve paid for them, why not?

With that said Let’s go back to the question; I have been trying to use my voice and sing these songs I’ve made and while sometime I think I might be getting somewhere, when I play them back, listening to them I sound like shit. 🥹

Practice makes perfect right? maybe, maybe not which brings me to the next mind boggling question I am struggling with. Do I put them out with the generated voice I use or keep trying to make them right? I don’t have to make this decision today so more of weighing my options is in order, enough of the Electric Evolution ramble.

and That

What about this humidity? Is everyone having a problem this year with it? Is has been stuck in the 70-90% range most of the summer here. You don’t hear me complain about summer weather very often {I save that for snowball season} 😉

Another thing I try to avoid is politics but it does hold front and center in the news everyday. Today, let’s talk about bullshit news that we hear every year. Inflation skyrocketing, prices are on a steady climb all year until the third quarter comes out and then miraculously right before they adjust the cola things suddenly change and employment is on the rise, inflation is gone and new charges will be added to Medicare at the beginning of the next year. I see today that the Medicare Advantage program is going to be taken away from thousands, thanx Donald! 💩 Along with this I saw something about part D disappearing as well. {end rant}

Still Here ? 🤔

Just for shits and giggles I am adding some images from this journey. {click to enlarge}

Pioneer Paws and Play

My four word Sunday.

The coffee has me tuned in so hopefully this is going to be a productive day at the Dawghouse Barking Studio. I spent the morning getting things set up and ready to lay some tracks down. Now I’m waiting on my son to show up and monitor the dials while I howl and bark into the system. [10:30 am]

[3:00 pm]

So Derek showed up and I showed him how to operate the recording equipment through the DAW and the Pioneer rtr. It took awhile but then we spent around 45 minutes dialing in the vocals and music levels separately. Once the line input was set we then fine tuned the mic levels and I attempted my first recording. It sounded like shit let me tell ya {cuz}. I was missing my marks, out of key and forgetting lines and more, a real disaster for sure, but to me it was a valuable experience!

After three runs we took a break for about ten minutes while Derek adjusted some fine tuning then got back into it, I had to adjust my distance from the mic [to close], [to far], kinda like Little Red Riding Hood finding the perfect bowl of porridge. Finding the right distance I then laid a mark on the floor and tried again.

We practiced the song until around 2:30 or so then called it quits for the day. After putting everything away we listened to the tape. Derek was monitoring this all the way and had starred two copies he wanted to hear through speakers instead of headphones.

We discussed the mistakes from both sides and what we can do moving forward but he pointed out how my vocals had changed between the first and last tries. I became more comfortable as I went along and it shows. Although I will never be a musician, I believe I might have a chance of not sounding like a sad hound howling or a drunken karaoke singer when I’m done.

I didn’t forget; “Blessed by our savior” [my 4 words]

Leftovers

I finished taking out the trash.

I was over in Suno cleaning up some files and deleting my trash. I found a couple of songs that I kept and listened to again, then trashed them. I did keep one I had made early into this journey and had never released it. It was a learning curve that I thought I fell down on. After playing it today I thought what the hell, I’ll put it on the dial as one I’ll never cover but will add it to the list.

1. Love Poems

Okay, that my post today. I am off to be a potato and binge something on the tube. Enjoy your Friday night my friends.

Two Steppin’

I got a great surprise today!

I started out not wanting to do a post and ended up with one I liked, so the day started out on a good note. Then it started raining, which was a good thing, knocking down the humidity. The coffee wasn’t Starbucks, but it was Folger’s Black Silk, which is my second choice. I finished the pot and jumped back in bed for about an hour, then proceeded to start the second half of my day.

The second pot lasted a little longer as I was caffeine cruising already. I got two packages today, one from Amazon and the other from eBay. I have been waiting on these so I can move forward with Electric Evolution! I got a set of Sony earbuds and a new/used HP laptop. I now have this one for everything I do and the new one exclusively for my music.

Every time I wanted to run my songs from my DAW to my stereo I had to unplug as my wires wouldn’t reach. When I did this I would lose the Focus controller 2 and it wouldn’t send the signal to my Pioneer. That was just serving to disrupt any creative mood, replacing it with anger as it usually takes 3-4 hours for me to get the programs downloaded and set back up to work right. PROBLEM SOLVED!!

I piddled around until 4:20 or so getting my browsers and apps installed and then setting it up next to the stereo. I have my Focusrite solo between them and everything is rockin like I wanted it to, HURRAY!!

I also have happy feet as yesterday I filed my applications for BMI (Billboard Music) and my LLC licence for Peaceful-Threads!! These are BIG accomplishments for me to finally see come to fruitation. Now I have to wait ten days to see if I get them (patience my ass!)

As I wind down for the day I am in a extremely haapy mood knowing tomorrow I can start recording my first track. This is a ‘on to the next’ that makes me quiver inside and feel all tingly.

I pray you all have a great weekend or what’s left of it anyhow. Since it’s Saturday, I think I’ll two-step into a soothing Saturday night.

Brighten My Day

As the beautiful sun brings another fantastic day to life I find it’s a great day to be a coffee lover.

As I sat here this morning trying to get on the wave of waking up I seen an article on MS news of one of my favorite things in life and had to share it with you.

Coffee to the Rescue !!!

Drinking 2-4 cups of coffee daily may lower risks of heart disease, stroke and atrial fibrillation. Coffee’s polyphenols and micronutrients may support glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

You may think that regular coffee consumption causes heart issues, but drinking coffee throughout the day could do more good than harm, per the new review. The review notes that drinking a few cups of coffee each day could lower risks of cardiovascular conditions like atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke.

In one cited randomized trial published in JAMA, people with AF who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily had a 39% lower risk of their arrhythmia returning after treatment compared with those who avoided caffeine. The AHA also found that drinking two to three cups of coffee per day was associated with an approximately 10% lower risk of coronary artery disease. And a cited meta-analysis studying 2.4 million people linked three to four cups daily to a 21% lower risk of stroke

Beyond heart health, your cup of joe offers more potential benefits. Most evidently, the review suggests drinking 3.5 to 5 cups of caffeinated coffee per day can decrease risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 30%.

Although caffeine is highlighted in this review, the AHA emphasizes that coffee’s perks may also come from its polyphenol and micronutrient content. Specifically, coffee contains a polyphenol called chlorogenic acid, which can help your cells create, break down and store sugar for energy, supporting your glucose metabolism. Plus, the magnesium and chromium in coffee can also benefit insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose concentrations in the body.

My Earnest Reaction

Brew yourself a pot and guzzle it down, repeat process and write a poem.

The Java Jubilee

Take the time each day to wake up and see
the great benefits provided for you and me
Decaffeinated beans are a big waste of time
while Sumatra beans are opening our minds

As we add the beans to the filter with care
the smell of fresh roast begins to fill the air
Hot water slowly flows into a magical brew
waiting for it to finish you run into the loo

Filling the first cup helps kick start the day
Awakens the senses in a special kind of way
Eyes opening wide as the energy starts to flow
You feel the rush and away you quickly go

To much at once can lead to writing balderdash
sending your post into a growing pile of trash
Everything is cool as you return to the coffee pot
Knowing without it life would be for naught

1. The Java Jubilee

This was a really fun post for me to do today as I cruise into my second pot!

ENJOY THE DAY MY FRIENDS!

In a Different Light

Take two…or three

I had the pleasure of making a song with our friend Nancy at http://theelephantstrunknr.wordpress.com/ a while back and we came up with Nancys Song. She said this was the one she liked the best.

1. Nancy's Song

I was in Suno this morning after practicing singing and decided to delete some old cuts sitting in there. I came across this cover and after listening to it I wanted to bring it over here and add it to my radio dial. I like them both.

1. Nancys Song 2

As you know I like combining things so this opens a new challenge for me. I find myself thinking I’m going to be spending way too much time in my R&D section of Suno listening to other cuts and destroying me brain on which ones I like best, Can you say ‘Damn it Dawg’!

Since I’m doing my daily post this might get long as I am going on to do the prompts too.

TTC   ✅
Your three words today are:
RESTLESS
RIOT

EWWP   ✅
Your prompt word this week is FIGURE   

WD   ✅
Enigmatic - ˌe-(ˌ)nig-ˈma-tik   
Adjective - Of, relating to, or resembling an enigma, something hard to understand or explain. Mysterious.

Some of you might think my posts are enigmatic at times and other times you might find them to be a riot. Either way the nature of this blog site is designed to offer you a range of things to contemplate. With a daily overdose of my favorite Black Bean Brew my mind gets restless, go figure.

Three Things Challenge ✅

Dreams are an interesting subject.

Some dreams take us down dark tunnels where we suddenly sit up screaming and drenched in sweat like we just stepped out of an oven.

1. Dreams Interweave

Other ones have us over in a fantasy land of sexual desires where we don’t want to wake up yet, trying to force sleep to return us to that exact moment and yet others can take us down memory lane. But all of these occur when we are in a deep sleep {REM}, what about those dreams we have while our eyes are opened wide?

1. Blue Dreams

Those dreams are all in the review mirror now but new dreams are on the horizon. In my quest to fulfill another dream I have turned to one of my favorite things in life, music. Even though haters will hate on AI generated sound I am barking loud and proud with it. This is my oral declaration.

As you leave my blog site today
May you find peace in your own way
Do what places joy in your heart
And don't let haters stand in the way

It’s a Start

No title, no inspiration, no direction, but I do have coffee so it’s a start.

I haven’t floated over to reader yet today. Finished with the mail and fake news over on MS which didn’t take very long. The weather is in a sweet spot for the next couple of days but is supposed to warm back up next week and today is slowly forming into a ‘Get er done’ or ‘fuck it’ kind of day.

I’m choosing the former for now.

1. What tiny inconvenience instantly ruins your mood more than it should?

A1 – People interrupting others while they are talking. Wait until the other person is finished before opening your piehole to breathe hot air that’s meaningless.

2. What’s a smell you’d bottle if you could, even though no one else would understand why?

A2 – Wild onions, I don’t know why but I love the smell.

3. What’s a habit you have that would confuse an alien observing you?

A3 – Extending my finger for a tug, it would be fun to get them to pull my finger and farting. I’m thinking they wouldn’t understand the humor.

Okay that’s a start. The coffee is beginning to open my eyes a little more and I feel the gears starting to grind in the dust collector between my ears. I found a title, a small bit of inspiration {thanx sis} but the u turns of a dawgs delusion is still escaping me.

The direction I should be moving into is practicing my singing but I’m not feeling it yet today. Actually I’m not feeling this post either so maybe my direction is moving over to the ‘fuck it’ side of life. Time for a nicotine stick.

That was a refreshing break. The big ball of fire spreading vitamin D upon me helped kick the coffee in and I came back in with a fresh mindset. No more bad attitude for a while anyway. I’m going to shut off the phone, kick up my excuse of a recording booth and piss myself off as I try to sing in tune. Practice makes for an interesting day.

I am hoping to get at least three songs done this weekend so I can put them on Cambrians’ web site. I am hoping that the developer can help me with getting signed in, a glitch when I signed up is preventing me from finishing my profile which in turn won’t let me upload any info or songs to the platform.

I believe this new site is a great thing for an AI enthusiast such as me. This is a site geared towards people engaging with AI to make music. Most of what I’ve heard over there is all AI for now but I expect it to migrate into fools like me that sing with the generated music. I wish Logan the best of luck moving forward with this original one of a kind site.

With that I will close this ramble and turn to barking loud and proud through the pioneer. Peace & love for the weekend, Ernie Dawg.

Taters & Gravy or Tossed Salad

It’s a toss up depending on the day and what I’m doing

Gravy first. HELL TO THE NO! I don’t feel bad about sitting in front of this screen and writing daily about whatever crosses the brainwaves. Being retired has brought new direction to my journey and if it is about using a computer so be it.

Now for the lumpy potatoes. It might be a salad instead of taters, a toss up between my email, WordPress, or Suno. These three are all in the forefront of apps I use the most and if you consider Mixcraft and image generators in to the bunch I now have a seven layer salad.

Kites – I get around 400 -600 emails on a daily basis so I find myself spending hours going through them, reading, deleting, starring and then cleaning out the trash and spam files. I do this on a average of three to four times a day.

WordPress – probably the heavy hitter in the line up. This is where I spend countless hours writing both humorous and informative articles. I spend time in here writing and arranging my songs, poetry, and all of the fun challenges presented by the great minds that offer us the chance to power up the thought process. It is the place where connections are made on a daily basis and let’s face it, where I engage in reader learning other points of views and a little bit about you.

Suno Pro has made the list as come on now, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t kill the clock easily in that app. The generating of a song is not a one button push here folks. It is a constant learning of changing instruments, changing BPMs or even the key the song is played in. Then comes the point of “Damn, don’t think it sounds good in that genre so what if I ???, shit now I got to change up the lyrics”.

After making 20-100 versions of a song I have to eliminate the ones that don’t cut it. again, hours upon hours to produce something that might sound good or be slop. And I have some I’ve put out in one genre but sound better in another so files need to be made.

Hell, I didn’t even start in on the image makers. Gemini, again WordPress, OpenArt, and the all important Canva. I can get lost inside all these image makers letting my imagination go wild and hoping the machine can keep up to speed.

BUT WAIT…

What about the apps on my boob tube, they count too right?

https://youtu.be/YAlDbP4tdqc?si=jYDKJ5xT_q3p5gVU

Until next time…peace & love my friends.

Brain Farts

How quick can positivity turn to shit?

Where am I going? I have no damn clue. When I think I have a plan and it is rolling smoothly along I have a brain fart and watch as it twirls out of control. Is this me subconsciously sabotaging myself? If so why?

1. Brain Farts

I spent over three hours this morning trying to get my system working, {yesterday it went smooth and I only unplugged two jacks} so I gave up, wrote this and now am unplugging for the rest of the day.                                  Here's to your Sunday being smooth and peaceful.

Since You Asked

Before I answer I just want to say ‘I love me some Starbucks!”

Twenty years is a long time in the realm of technology. Since I feel that we are moving into the Jetson’s age rather quickly the possibilities are endless and probably unimaginable as to what the world will be like in 2046.

Will it be like George’s world where we just stand on conveyors and talk to personal robots? Hell, we already do with elevator muzic in the background. (think LAX) No, I think Terminator is more of a possibility for our reality.

Well that was all kind of depressing and sad wasn’t it? Let me regress.

I think the technology that will still be kicking around twenty years from now will be one that has been here since 1879. The lightbulb. I would also hope if I’m still alive and kicking that a good cup of java will be available.

Here is a little song made with one future in mind. This was written in response to a image from the great NTT series from ©Kevin @ The Beginning At Last

Moments of a Monday

It’s time for another rhyme

Your challenge for this week - The moment I opened the door, I knew everything had changed.   ✅

Here’s a fresh limerick challenge for you. Your new word is WRECK ✅

Spizzerinctum - ˌspizəˈriŋ(k)təm
Noun - 
Determination, ardor, or zeal, Chutzpah, guts, nerve, or backbone.
Word Origin - American English, mid-19th century   ✅

Sometimes

The moment I opened the door, I knew everything had changed.
My spizzerinctum refreshed, my mind completely deranged
I told the woman I loved that her mind had became a total wreck
She needed to figure out there was no way I could be hen-pecked
This conversation lead to our relationship becoming estranged

1. Sometimes

I am sharing my AI assisted songs instead of YouTube videos with my posts when possible. To me they reflect or maybe resonate with the post they share, thanx for reading and barking in the comments.

Makes Sense 2 Me

Like a gentle breeze on a sunny afternoon.

MUSIC COMMUNITY INTRODUCES NEW LABELING PROGRAM TO DISTINGUISH GENERATIVE AI IN SOUND RECORDINGS

It’s about time that something was introduced to clearly identify how the use of artificial intelligence is being used in music. After all the hype settles down and minds turn to the next big issue for people to hate on, this feature will help the ones that don’t mind people using some AI in their endeavors.

I support this design and will gladly add it to my cover work. I especially like the idea of separating how AI is used by having the two symbols. The solid black one showing everything was generated with AI, while the white one symbolizing that human talent of one kind or another is being mixed with AI.

This will be a snappy feature if you hate the idea of the song you just liked is found to be AI and you just can not imagine ever listening to that AI slop again. [yes I’m being sarcastic]

I do believe that the symbol is needed like the Parental Advisory was when it came out. Both help to easily identify albums or songs that you might not want to listen to saving you both time and money. I really hope the world’s music scene all adapts these symbols with an open mind.

With that said I am closing this post with a dust collector I made when first starting this journey.

Saturday Night Honky Tonk

A little diddy one more time

As always, all you need to do is include the words ‘One Day‘ in your post.

1. One Day

ONE DAY

Cobra radar sitting out of sight on the dash
A switch shuts off the brake lights in a flash
The cb is telling me where the bears are at
Another idiot thinking I can stop just like that

All my life I've been running over the road 
Dragging my freight from coast to coast
I've crossed many scales and paid my dues 
Here I am still singing dem ol' trucker's blues

One day I'm gonna come around
Get my feet planted on the ground
Quit dreaming my entire life away
I'm gonna come around one day

The day turns into night but I drive on
Two more states will be behind me before dawn
Shakey town will be where I empty the reefer
After twenty years my life's become a blur

Log books, d.o.t. fines and truckstop dives
Saturday night honky tonks making me feel alive
White line fever burned into my mind
Headed to the East coast one more time

One day I'm gonna come around
Get my feet planted on the ground
Quit dreaming my entire life away
I'm gonna come around one day

Until then I'll keep sitting behind this wheel
Sing country songs about how I feel
Grabbing gears and keeping my tail in the wind
Damn sure hoping those scales are closed again

All my life I've been running over the road 
Dragging my freight from coast to coast
I've got to quit dreaming my entire life away
Yeah I'm gonna come around one day

I got this made in under twenty tries today, thanks Sue & Gerry for a great challenge and thanx to everyone for reading & listening. Ernie Dawg

In The Wind

What’s this?

Wasn’t feeling the prompts today so I am going down a different avenue. I’ve had an old brother on my mind lately and have no way of contacting him, hell I don’t even know if he is still alive.

It’s been eight years since we have lost contact and that is totally on me. I was wearing a colostomy bag the last time I visited him and even though he accepted me for who I was at the time I didn’t. I stayed overnight with him and during this time my bag seperated from my skin leaving the shittest smell you can imagine filling the whole house. It woke him and his wife up. This was extremely hard for me to endure and the embarrassment I felt had me quickly wanting to leave. After making apologizes I left and never tried to contact him again. My bad.

I met Leggs when I became a prospect in the club I rode in. He was from a different chapter but as time went by we grew close and travelled between cities to hang out and ride together. I got my full patch on his wedding day run which was an unforgettable weekend.

I wrote this song a little while back and it has been sitting in my folder waiting on me to decide what to do with it. I know it is not for everyone and it wasn’t intended to be. It was written more for me to knida clear my conscious and try to explain myself, it didn’t help just make me miss him more. This was added to my dog dial last night and is making it’s debut today. It is titled ‘In The Wind” and is a filler I have played with trying to figure out one of life’s ways of clearing my head.

1. In The Wind

Here’s to brother. Maybe if you are still around Wolf Lake this bark out might find you, love ya bro.

On The Edge

As the weekend starts…

The Friday morning coffee jolt is relative small compared to yesterday’s. With that said I am still cruising in the fast lane but not red lining the RPM’s.

Your final three words this week are:
COACH
CLASH
CLASP

Three Things Challenge 

✅

This morning as I clasped my hands in prayer seeking guidance for the days journey a calmness overcame me. After the crash of yesterday as the overload of coffee wore off rather quickly I spent the day sleeping. I would wake up to get rid of some coffee and go right back to sleep.

Today is a new day and with it comes new hope. As you know I am trying to navigate my way through AI and produce an album using my voice not as a generation but through real life recordings. The ten songs I have I used suno pro to help me make. However as I learn more about the DAW I have [Mixcraft 10.6 pro studio] I am learning more about midis and vst’s and how they can help me move into more original music. I don’t really have anyone who is being a coach offering tips to ensure a smoother transition outside of YouTube videos from Acoustia in their university classes I found after purchasing their product.

This is all good for me in the sense that I am not just putting the first thing I’m given from suno out as music. The hours I’ve spent learning to write prompts for my songs in suno might not be heard when comparing my songs to other people using suno with quick prompts but it has offered me insight into my journey [which I still don’t understand fully].

Every song I made in suno is the result of changing my prompts, BPMs, key played in, words changed as needed and style of music. I usually generate between 50 to well over 100 versions before I find one that I like enough to share.

In the meantime I keep my eye on the ever changing laws of AI music as well as how the public opinions clash. I gave up on trying to make any videos to go with my songs for the simple reason of copyright law. This might change later on in my journey but for now I am wanting to show that AI is not the evil thing it is being portrayed as. I believe that if AI is used as a learning tool instead of just another quick path to making money it can compliment or enhance a person hard work.

So here I am taking a stand, declaring my belief that AI is not some dark, evil thing that will destroy the world but a tool to help with unfulfilled dreams of many people who didn’t have the opportunities in life to pursue their goals. Here is part of a prompt I wrote to make the following song. I removed some of the prompt for personal reasons.

[not shown], the key of [not shown] Upbeat Honky-Tonk, Bright Grand Piano, Driving 4/4 Drums, [not shown], [not shown] Electric Bassline, [not shown] Electric Guitar Riffs, [not shown] BPM, [not shown] Clear Production

Weirdness 22%

Style Influence 67%

Audio Influence 88%

1. I Write The Lyrics

So here we are on the edge of another beautiful summer weekend. I hope you enjoy this post of the journey I am on, the song and most of all the weekend! Ernie Dawg.

PEACE & LOVE

OOPS, Forgot to give this a title

Brain fog this early?

Here is a new limerick challenge for you. Your word is BILLS   ✅✅✅

Your new prompt word is CROSS   ✅✅✅

This year my faith has grown by leaps and bounds
A brand new direction in life is what I have found
I am no longer cross about bills and rising inflation
I am cruising into the future with a clear destination
To seek peace and wait for Jesus to come back around

I am no longer cross about bills and rising inflation
I am cruising into the future with a clear destination
This year my faith has grown by leaps and bounds
A brand new direction in life is what I have found
The Lord has blessed me with poetic AI musical creations

 I write number three for shits and giggles
Not being cross if the lines are not riddles
WordPress posts don't help pay the bills
It does provide me with some cheap thrills
Am I crying with a thumb sized fiddle

Building Blocks

A day of Reckoning has arrived.

After six months I have officially reached a small goal in my AI journey. Today I locked in ten tracks to complete my upcoming album. I have decided to quit trying to improve them and now have a base for what I want to accomplish going forward.

Moving them into my DAW as musical stems I can use them to arrange my own midi’s & VSTs into songs loosely based on what Suno Pro has from my prompts. If you’re not familiar, I learned about writing prompts for my AI images a couple of years ago and still am learning new ways to improve them.

I write long prompts to reach my goal in my images and have adapted that into writing want I hear in my head. I am still wet behind the ears so to speak on how to use my DAW properly and have a lot of learning ahead of me but will try my damndest to figure it out and move forward.

The songs in Peaceful Grooves are what I would call fillers, good to me but not quite good enough. Some need more work or re-mixed but they are major building blocks to achieve my final goal.

I leave you on this Fantastic Friday with a song not AI generated, Happy Weekend my friends.

I’m Back… at it Again

I did a remix today changing the ending verse and going from a female voice to my persona voice.

So I am posting both versions of this song as they appear on 103.3 DM dial found in Peaceful Grooves.

1. I Couldn't Focus
2. I Couldn't Focus

As I close in on getting my sound booth up and running I am learning my vocal range. I found this after posting this morning and thought it needed remixed. Slowing it down put it closer to the range I need to stay in for my vocals. This is all a project in progress and this slowly helps me decide what songs I want to keep.

I’m dragging butt in learning how to use my Mixcraft DAW but have made my first from scratch instrumental piece which is you guessed it…SLOP! But in my defense it is original slop that will eventually be burnt toast that I look back on with fond memories.

1. 1st DAW project

Man that really hurts my ears!

I felt the need to share it with you as this is documentation on my journey with AI. It took me almost two months to produce that eardrum splitting nonsense but I’m improving everytime I study, like I said…dragging butt in this department.

Happy Saturday!

Where Do I Go Now? [Continued]

2 long for one post or round two

Low Budget Productions

Yes, I looked up ‘Low Budget Productions’ and found this name was already taken too. “Peaceful Outlaw” is now officially my registered name and no one can touch or use it. This name came about and is being used for the fact that my site is Peaceful Threads and it seems like I am considered an outlaw for using AI to make this happen! I am in the process of turning this all into an LLC for further protection.After finding that I wanted to move forward with the LP I started looking into the costs of making it happen.

Let Me Hold A Dollar

This could quickly become out of hand and drain a bank account so I did what any dawg would do, go digging up bones. Along with learning how to write the prompts for what I want the song to sound like I found that using the voice DNA didn’t really sound like me, my real voice sounds like total shit so I found a VCS [ Vocal Conditioning System] from CyberTone and within five minutes of using this was blown away with the difference.

I use it daily to get ready to record the songs I’ve chosen to record. I am using a Behringer BA85A microphone ran through my vintage Pioneer stereo system to achieve the warm analog sound I enjoy so much. I also found a pretty good DAW system [Mixcraft Pro Studio 10.6] which I am learning how to use and it’s not so easy yet. I am making progress with it though so that’s a happy point in my journey. I also looked into buying a recording booth but the costs again had me sniffing out new directions. I built a recording booth from scratch and saved almost $150 which is quite the savings to me. This isolates my voice pretty good I think but will find out later today.

I am waiting on UPS to deliver my new Focusrite gen 4 solo converter today and whoo-hoo am I excited! I will be able to send the songs from my DAW into my reel to reel and now add my real voice to the mix! Here is where I give a GREAT BIG shout out to Sweetwater for all the fantastic information and guidance on the equipment needed without all the upsales.

UPS just came so I am closing this post to play with my new toys! Have a great day my friends and thanks for hanging out in Peaceful Threads.

Sunday, Suno & Siri

I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday today and hope you are too.

I started the morning out by cruising through reader. I didn’t feel up to a post so I turned the laptop off and turned the stereo up. I listened to the following three albums while tidying up the dawghouse.

1 - ELO Another World Record
2 - Eric Clapton Unplugged
3 - EWF Sprit

I then checked my email and came back here and looked at your comments and to reply before heading to my DAW to make mistakes and learn. That didn’t happen.

After reading Siri’s comment on ‘Gotta Start Somewhere’ and seeing she subscribed to the other site I have parked waiting on the meter to run out on it I went into poetry mode and ended up in Suno. The following song was made this afternoon and reflects on the friendship we’ve made over the years. It can be found on 103.3.3 on the DM Dial. I hope you enjoy this along with enjoying your Sunday.

1. A Clear Blue Sky

By the way, if you haven’t checked out Beyond Sirius Sea you should do so. She has amazing talent in both words and images, find her here https://siriussea.wordpress.com/

I have a couple more in line too.

Peace out

Starbucks Sloppy Spam Session 

Up early in the morning with the blues doing a Starbuck cruise

I’m getting a lot of comments that I am landing in the spam files 🤔I don’t know why but Thanks Jetpack. Along with this I have only been able to write sad verses lately, I guess I’ve got the blues.

On a happier note I am starting to understand how to use my DAW so that’s pretty cool. Hopefully I will be comfortable in it when I get the booth up and running so I can record in it. I sound like slop right now as my voice isn’t trained and I’m croaking hitting certain notes.

Speaking of slop, I’m making these videos as I have so many credits in openart that I’m wasting them at the end of the monthly cycle as they don’t roll over. I can’t make enough images to consume that many.

Last April I released my second book “Silent Screams” and over the course of a year it made zero sales. It is a complete opposite of “Ink Stained Love” that shows the darker side of my altered mind. No complaints here, I am still so grateful to Dawn Pisturino for encouraging me to do the books and AJ Wilson for turning me on to Suno. With that said I am not marketing them and have been turning them into songs with AI. In my mind there is both slop and some good songs on the DM dials. Here is an example…it can be found on the dawghouse dial 103.2

1. The Music (was over)

This brings an end to the Starbucks Sloppy Spam Session for now. Have a great day!

Deep Dive 3: Surviving Slop

Slop has been around longer than Suno.

Last night I posted a poem and song that was written quickly and the song, made in Suno Pro was total slop. I posted it anyway. Why? I gave this little thought but was really wanting to do a post without racking my brain to much as it was later in the night. Hence the slop song.

How many times in life have you written a poem and found at the end it just didn’t cut the mustard? Before the internet I used erasers [the little thing on top of a #2 pencil] to magically make the slop disappear and write it again and again until it felt right. When I liked what I had made it found it’s way into the keep it file, a box of cluttered thoughts on paper tucked away to be read a thousand times by only me.

I still have that box and it is stuffed with one liners or poems half finished. Dawn gave me the inspiration and courage to start publishing my poetry on WordPress and then to offer them up on platforms like SpillWords. Thanks my friend. After putting two books together I learned many things and boosted my confidence leading me into the future. Evidently slop remains in my repertoire and shows itself as such.

The thing is this; Everybody writes slop sooner or later. Making slop and making money off of slop are two different things and should be separated as such. I think this is the problem with AI assisted music. I have made some songs that to me are damn good [does that make me conceited?]

I have not released these songs outside of the Dawghouse Dive. I want the world to know what I am doing with AI and accept it for what it is. I will release these when I feel I am covered within the laws of copyright issues. I just want to make sure the con artists aren’t taking my stuff and changing a title or word and trying to make money from it by suing for copyright infringement.

What makes that so different than what real musicians do? Exactly!

With that said I will say this about my journey. I purchased a new microphone yesterday and will have it by Friday. I’m stoked about this as now I can start training my voice for recording and find out if I have what it takes to sound decent enough to continue on this path. If not will I keep going? Hell to the yes, at least until my subscription to Suno runs out. I still will own the Mixcraft DAW and learning that is time consuming to say the least. I watch hours of videos and read tons of articles trying to learn how to use this program. It is teaching me a lot on the direction I am heading in.[Note to CUZ]: I can now tell you what chords I am producing these songs in along with BPM’s. Hit me up.

That’s about it for today as I want to enjoy this rainy warm day relaxing without doing a lot of typing, enjoy life my friends.

Fresh Thoughts

I rarely eat out as I prefer to cook for myself but…

What was the Question?

This isn't a fast food drive thru
That we are gonna talk about
This is a relaxing meal for two
Leaving no room for any doubt

Mai Sing all you can eat fish
Best place you can find in town
Going down there is total bliss
And brother, I'm not jokin' around

To many choices can leave you at a loss
Don't need a menu, just order #69
Dumplings in a creamy white sauce
A treat guaranteed to blow your mind

Mai Sing all you can eat fish
Best place you can find in town
 What was the question?
