Man that sucks. Good luck; I hope you can find someone else to jam with.

There are some new-agey type thinkers who say that road blocks are a sign that you are getting close to your goal.

Maybe God doesn’t hate me after all. Maybe he is just slapping me upside the head to get me to pay attention and save myself from myself.

And as my wife/ co-conspirator/ partner-in-crime/ musical partner can certainly attest to, slapping me upside the head is sometimes the only way to get me to pay attention.

I”m finding that ood posture is helping me in trying to stay loose and relaxed.

Frequent breaks help a lot, too.

And no, raking up an acre worth of leaves is not a break. If anything, it is WORSE on the wrist flexors.

[Byron]

Arrgh! It’s not letting me post the rest!

[Byron]

I suppose if there is to be a point to all this perceveration, it is: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. And, furthermore, LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU!

Now, my wife/ co-conspirator/ partner-in-crime/ musical partner can certainly attest to the fact that I don’t do the listening part very well. I think it was actually yard work that brought this on, coupled with a fairly high tolerance for pain and a tendency to work through it.

Medial Epicondylitis is the same as tennis elbow, but on the inside. I have had that a couple of times before, but it was rather mild and went away after a couple of weeks. This is being stubborn. A large part of the recovery process is rest, but unfortunately everything I do in my life involves using that same muscle group. Heavily. In fact, anything that uses the wrist flexors at all (meaning a continued mortal existance of any usefulness whatsoever) exacerbates the condition. Which means that as an upright primate with an opposable thumb, I am doomed.

This happens just as my wife/ co-conspirator/ partner-in-crime/ musical partner and I are putting together some stuff. Including a song we co wrote in a couple of days during Harvey and inspired by it (him?). I had grand designs of recording and mixing it during the ensuing week, but it just ain’t happenin’.

Now, I’m certainly not above recording all the parts in pieces, one section at a time, but even that is proving difficult. A few minutes of playing and my elbow is on fire. Bass is particularly excruciating.

And it doesn’t help a bit that in the evenings when I get home it is sore after using it all day at work.

I must have somehow hit one of the dirty words.

I have a message that I tried to post about 4 times yesterday that never showed up.

A cursory Google search suggests that a whole lot of people have complaints about TuneCore & their habits of theft.

[Byron]

YouTube can say whatever they want, but I am absolutely certain that if you provided them with proof that YOU are the copyright holder and threatened THEM with legal action, that the offending video would disappear in a heartbeat.

[Byron]

I”m not trying to be an ass or start any arguments here. I know that registering copyrights costs money.And I know how much. I’ve done it.

My point is that in a copyright infringement action, you have to be able to prove you own it and the copyright office is the be-all and end-all when it comes to that.

[Byron]

My comment was directed more to superblonde.

But Yeah, Tunecore probably has some automatic algorithm at work that it will take loosing several lawsuits to get them to change.

[Byron]

Seems that if you register your copyright beforehand with the US copyright office, it would be real hard to argue with that.
