Anyway I was writing some thoughts about our process last post. I have this song that has been near and dear to my heart for a long time but we could not find it's musical home. It's called "River of Stars (Carry me Home) and last night, it came to life, thanks to the inspiration of >>>>>>

When I post soundbite videos I'm posting us at our best - the things we would want to release in the future. I have written a lot of songs that have not found their music yet - we have worked with them but not been satisfied with what we came up with. I write lyrics sometimes collaboratively >>>>

I had a special request for some blues. This one needs a re-dub where I made a mistake in the lyrics. Sometimes when we're in the mood we just start a theme and jam the blues for a long time. ##MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #NowListening #blues

Oh! you caught me putting on my panties, or was I taking them off? 😉 Actually, Jia @jia-feng.bsky.social caught me 😊 #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #panties #boudoir #artnude #nudeart #B&W

A photo from a glamour set shot by Jia @jia-feng.bsky.social a couple of months back 😊 I'm going to call it 'boudoir' since it was shot in a hotel room and I have high heels on 😉 #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #glamour #artnude #nudeart #B&W #nudemodel #boudoir

Jia is coming down to SC tomorrow to meet the band and their better halves, hang out with us, visit my parents, and hopefully play some piano for us. Jia was classically trained and quite a prodigy, and her skills are astounding. But she loves the blues 😊 Maybe we will record something 😊

Well we were making music most of the night. I'm actually going to take a nap for a few hours and start the day later. I will be "offline" for a while, probably catch up this evening. Hope everyone has a good day 😊

I guess I can still belt one out. This one is called "Broken Road (Love is a...)" and I wrote it when I was 20 but we never did anything with it at the time. It was good to bring this to life. #newartist #MusicSky #rockmusic #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #NowListening

Nude against a fence in our back yard - a "vintage" photo this one taken by my ex. I was 21. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudeart #B&W

Dayum these boys can f*ing rock ❤️💋 They just needed some inspiration for recording "Outrunning The Blues" - good thing I still have my short leather skirts and knee high boots to strut around and flash some thigh while belting it out. These guys sound better than I do anymore. I'm proud of them.

I wrote so many songs when I was in my teens. Lyrics, melodies, keys, chords etc. I would work them out on my old Martin 000-18 guitar. I look back at them now and (mostly!) I'm not embarrassed of them - they show maturity, insight and complexity (maybe I should not be saying this about myself) >>>

It is so good to see these old friends again from the band Windlass - Jake, Em, Al, and Jimmie and their better halves Liz Caroline Sophie and Angelica are new friends now. Being together again is healing my heart and I am rediscovering my voice #NewMusic #MusicSky #newband #newartist #nowplaying

Every since I was a (legal) teen I've had people taking nude photos of me. It's always been a part of my life. But I never really "identified" as a "nude model" until I met Jia and Gregor. But now I am rediscovering that in my heart I am a musician. That's how I "identify" now. When I post >>>>

I had the privilege of shooting a couple of sets of fine art nudes with the talented Gregor (Jia's husband) @fotografica-gregor.bsky.social I love the images we made. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudeart #B&W

Our drummer Al's girlfriend plays violin - sort of Americana / Folk style. I've talked her into playing a couple of short solos on a recording we're going to do. Jimmie's girlfriend Angelica and Em's wife Caroline have lovely singing voices and are contributing some background and harmony vocals.

Man, when we were doing music together Windlass was about hard rock, metal, heavy blues. Now these guys are into soft rock, folk-rock and yacht-rock. Wow. But it's growing on me. I love what we did with "I Wanna Be With You (Jia's Song)". Trying to belt out hard rock ballads does not come >>>>

Jia @jia-feng.bsky.social caught this shot of me last fall. It's kind of cheeky 😉 Good pinup though. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #pinup #artnude #nudeart #glamour #derriere #B&W

@jia-feng.bsky.social sweetheart I can't find any other way to say it right now - I'm sorry - I'm really blocked up, don't know what I'm thinking. But I know what I'm feeling... and I hope you get the message from my heart to yours.

Among other things we are going to try to record two songs tomorrow - one is "Hard To Hold (Don't Let Me Break Your Heart)" which I wrote at 19 but we never did anything with. The other is "Hard To Hold (I don't wanna be)" which I wrote last night. It should be interesting to see if either or >>>>

I have not known how to relate to Jia since she's been back from her wedding and honeymoon with Gregor. Jia has been walking on eggshells around me. Gregor came to me and said he did not want this, that he wants Jia and I to be together, but we've at least for the moment forgotten how. Gregor >>>

My bandmate and talented drummer and percussionist Al took this photo of me back when I was in college and a member of the band. (I seem to be a member again now 😊) To me I look so young here but I guess I was. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #B&W #glamour #wet #artnude #nudeart

Words and keys and chords are just spilling from my heart today and I can't turn them off, don't want to turn them off, tonight. Eventually I'll fall asleep but in the meantime I'm not feeling driven or manic, I'm feeling like I've been put in touch with a part of me that has been too long silent

I did not realize how bound up my heart had become, how closed off I had become, until I saw my old friends Jake, Em, Al and Jimmie and met their way too good for them wives and girlfriends. A part of me belongs here. I've been opened up like an old can and not everything that has come spilling>>>

I've lost track of where we are I've lost sight of where we're going But here is what I'm feeling And I hope that you are knowing That I want to be with you

I'm not going to be "on" bluesky much for the next few days during my visit to SC. I'll check in now and then of course. I'll try to catch up with comments and discussion at least once a day. I am enjoying reconnecting with my old band mates and their wives and girlfriends and kids and making music

Man, Music is just pouring out of me tonight. I have not felt this right in a long time.

I'm staying with Al (percussion) and Sophie. I was shaking my hair out to help it dry and Sophie shot this. She's kind of taken back that I post nude images. I showed her my page and she's a little "wowed" by it and also I think jealous that Al was taking nude photos of me when I was in the >>>>

my old bandmate Jimmie's girlfriend Angelica likes to jot things down, sometimes write poetry. She's had this idea for a blues song for a long time but did not know what to do with it. So she and I polished the lyrics and meter and the guys jumped in with ideas. I think we're going to play >>>>

I could not believe what I saw when the guys took me to the old metal building where we used to practice and jam and record stuff on reel to reel. They built a studio. They have the proper sound absorbing panels everywhere, a dedicated computer system TASCAM multi track setup and the best Shure >>

Another (the third) sample of the music of our band Windlass. This one is more of a ballad. I'm trying to post samples that show the variety and range of our work. I hope you will enjoy it. I expect that we will be >>>> #band #windlass #soundbite #music #sample #new #unpublished #copyright

So I spent yesterday driving down to South Carolina. My former bandmates and I are hanging out for a few days. Not trying to force any music but just catch up with each other and see if the vibe is still there. If we start feeling musical we'll see what happens. We are all interested in >>>>

Hey I actually have a little bit of clothing on 😉 #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #panties #artnude #nudeart #glamour #boudoir

Well it's been interesting to see the response to our band's music samples that I have posted. There has been a very strong positive response from a number of people with really good comments. Overall though response is a small fraction of that received by nude photos. This tells me a lot about >>

I'm going to be scarce online today. I will check in occasionally and will catch up with replies in discussion or comments this evening. 😊

Something a bit more "glam" than usual 😊 #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudeart #glamour #B&W

I get comments that I am so "beautiful" I must be able to "have" anyone I want. Truthfully I experience more downside to being attractive than upside. I mean, there's no shortage of people who want to f*ck me. Many will say or do anything to try to manipulate me. Trying to find someone(s) who >>>>

I was thinking of Playboy Playmate Claudia Jennings' centerfold of November 1969 when I posed for this. The images are not anything alike really, just a vibe. And of course I've got the reflection going on. #amateur #model #nude #artnude #nudeart #glamour #B&W #reflection

Another soundbite from the material we (Windlass) are having mixed. This one is more in the hard rock vein, by request. I hope you all will enjoy it. #band #windlass #music #new #soundbite

I am trying to decide which music sample I will post next. I've got blues, blues-rock, hard rock and metal, also a piano ballad with a metal edge to it. I'm thinking of a piece that is kind of between hard rock and metal. As long as people keep enjoying them I'll post the soundbites that >>>>>

The first sample of our music, just a clip. It will sound like crap on a cellphone or computer speakers - use headphones! I'm nervous to hear what people think of this. Lyrics and music by me. Style is kind of rock-pop. Our stuff is usually more rock prog rock or blues (my favorite).

For those of you who have wanted to hear our music, to hear my voice... it's coming. I will only be releasing about 1 minute samples of a few of our songs here for the time being. But a while down the road you will be able to hear us in other venues. We are also getting back together to >>>>

Sitting in a window sill, taken a good while ago. I was just really in a contemplative mood, not "posing" but Jia @jia-feng.bsky.social thought it a lovely moment. Yes I go around the house nude a lot. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #window #dramatic #light #artnude #nudeart #B&W

I might actually get back into music after all. All of the guys from our band have been found and three of them are interested in getting together to record original music. Also I sing the blues for fun with Jia on Piano and Gregor on Sax and we are talking about recording some of it now...

Let's talk for a minute about AI. I use professional tools in the final stages of image production. These tools employ AI in some capacities. For example if there is stuff in the photo and I don't want it in the final image, photoshop removes it and uses a function called "generative fill" >>>>

I am going to be away from the computer today. I will check in occasionally by phone but won't be available to respond to comments on photos or conversational posts 'til this evening. But know that your likes comments and follows are appreciated 😊🖤

A photo from a sunny day on my cottage's front porch, kind of glam 😊 #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudeart #glamour #outdoor #naturism #B&W #smiling #sunny

Going back over the lyrics I wrote back in my band days I feel like I've outgrown them and would do it differently now. I feel some teenage angst in those lyrics and some lack of polish and life experience. Of course when I started with the band I was 16 and when I moved on I was 20. A lifetime ago.

Oh! I'm told that finished music coming out of the production companies sounds better than any of the bands that recorded it IRL - sometimes a LOT better - who knew?
