8:45 Alexa, turn on the Basement lights alright hello I can hear you too that's a.. all right so good morning or afternoon... morning morning for me Yeah. Mine really only progresses in one direction, in the forward. Yeah, I ...
9:51 I can't go the other direction and every once in a while a kid
9:54 myself into thinking I can and it never works, of course. Yes. In my case, in my case it really doesn't matter.
10:29 It's just... I'm wired for... I don't phase lock to the sun no matter what I do. I can pretend that I will but... I mean that... I'm lucky that I've found the profes...
10:41 in which it's actually kind of an asset rather than a liability because of the alternating need to be up at midnight when nobody cares what you turn off, and also talking to you know people in India and the Ukraine and w...
11:41 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
12:50 Alright. ... Yeah. all right Yes. Right. Right. Alright, let me try that again.
14:52 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
15:43 The tongue of Angels. Yeah, no. It is. Yes. Let's see here.
16:20 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
18:31 yeah, Truck Drivers Gear Change, classic, one note. One step up. It's how Bono does it. yep so I will
19:10 Be punching this out and sticking it in my notebooks because it seems like seems like I can I Can fake it well enough and once I've done that a few times
19:19 ...and it will get a lot smoother too as you can guess but...
19:34 And I'm also- I was also kind of looking for voices where I don't just use my head-
19:39 throughout. So just to get some more variety in the kind of, especially with, and…
19:47 With my air exercising last night, for the first time, I passed the 7-liter mark.
19:53 So that's progress. I started out at, I think, 5.6, so, as I said, they say it takes about a month.
20:03 I definitely feel like I have more air than I did. Part of what's interesting is getting-
20:10 there's, there's kind of
20:13 At the end of all the way full and all the way empty that I think most people never really develop. But once you get the muscle control over it, you get a much larger range.
20:23 of lung positions that you can make air in. So, that's... it is a... Yeah, yeah. It is a real... really, really neat... okay, um, so... No, the... there's a
20:45 A bunch of different things, there's circular breathing, there's compliance where they have you inhale, exhale, hold your breath, prepare to inhale, inhale kind of stuff where they just basically, you know, you've got th...
21:13 as much as you can. So there's a bunch of different things they're doing. There's a little mouthpiece that has a pressure sensor and a Bluetooth center, so there's this little mouthpiece that's paired with your phone, an...
21:38 You basically you said it too. It tells you at the start of the exercise set the dials to a1, whatever it can't actually since the dial position, but it would it has is just a
21:48 A classic air pressure sensor. Then the it senses, which is just a load cell with a diaphragm, and then it senses how much air pressure there is, whether it's you know.
22:00 below ambient or above ambient and they can tell whether you're breathing in or out and how much
22:04 touched by that. Yeah, sure thing. Yeah.
22:22 Yeah, and it definitely is a little bit of a time commitment. It's you know, of five to ten minutes a day for at least a month. But yeah it is, I'll send you a link. I think it's pretty neat. And as I said I originally s...
22:44 this study where they'd done 30 professional singers who all increased their range through using this thing. So yeah. Yeah and some of it is, I've got to
23:22 Yeah, in some of this I've got to break the habit of...
23:25 you know I've got I've still got
23:28 habits based on my smaller, the smaller volume, I've got...
23:32 break. But, you know, we just keep chipping away at it, you know, give me another few months. So here's another one that deliberately, kicking things that are difficult, this is this is counting pros um shame I don't I d...

29:45 I will give you a side note, by the way if you ever get a chance to see Counting Crow's live you really should. They're a jam band and they're really talented musicians so they're way better than they are on the album. B...
30:12 Definitely when I get down to the end of it part of what's driving me is just when you start getting into the song you know and it's I'm
30:19 Not really thinking, at that point, so much as just being the music. Just to see that this is a challenging song, it's got...
30:35 A, it does have stuff like, you should be ashamed where it's, where it's like, you know, it's one word, but it's kind of all over the map as far as the page.
30:48 Yeah. Okay, very good. what we all want to bring to our table is to accept and pardon that this is all just the right assignment. And you know, I have one big change coming in. If you don't, we'll begin to read this toda...
