That’s me, playing my song on my guitar. I recorded it in sections because I still struggle with coordination after all these years, but I know what I hear in my mind. I’m writing the composition now.

This weekend’s bakery output: Banana-nut loaf with raspberries and blackberries, a whole-wheat base mix mixed with Chia seed and flax seed Verdict: moist, tasty, filling, and surprisingly healthy. Goes great with coffee. #healthyalternatives #banananutbread #wholewheat #homemadebread #breakfast

The theme of this song is growing up during what has become known as the Jones Generation, which was from 1954 to 1965. This song explains what it was like to grow up in those years. #generationjones #jonsingit #selfesteem #fallingbetweenthecracks #livingthenightmare

This piece was Inspired by a relaxed post from a friend right here on Bluesky. I composed the lyrics and source music and then uploaded it to Suno, prompting it for contemplative jazz with subtle Asian elements, a song about settling in and letting life's burdens drift away. @beckybunzy.bsky.social

I’m working on a choral anthem that celebrates orchestras and choirs, along with the music they make. This is just a work in progress. There will be more in the coming weeks.

May the fourth be with you? Really? Are you into bad puns? If not, you may want to skip this video.

How many times have you reinvented yourself? 🕯️ This original song explores the quiet deaths we die before our time is truly up. Listen to the lyricsiwhich line resonates most with your journey?

This song began with something a psychologist once told me: there’s a real person inside me waiting to get out. I recorded the original version with just voice and guitar, then expanded it in Suno AI music using a late-60s / early-70s jazz-rock arrangement featuring baritone lead.

Today, April 25, 2026, I decided to update the source music and lyrics in this song. The original lyrics were pretty nice, but they still had problems with the meter. I think what I ended up with today is probably a bit better. I recorded the melody and harmony before uploading to Suno AI Music.

These images are unedited and edited photo stacks of the whirlpool galaxy (M51). I took them last night, 4/24/2026. One of them was a full three hours and eight minutes of stacking time. That’s pretty fantastic. I’m hoping to get four hours of stacking at some point.

This soliloquy is a reflection on overcoming life’s hesitancy and choosing to proceed despite the fear of failure. One of the most common themes of living is failure. Even people who are well above average in intelligence fail. Even those who are highly organized fail.

I recorded a simple guitar piece into Suno AI music as the background for this soliloquy. It reflects a fear many of us carry late in life: losing work, losing savings, losing recognition. Some of this is imagined. Some of it I’ve already lived. #growingold #layoffs #employmentanxiety

I composed the source music for this piece on my synthesizer and later developed it in Suno AI Music. I wrote the lyrics to celebrate music and the English collegiate choral anthem tradition. It reflects the cathedral sound associated with British composers, while expressing my own choral voice.

Venus and the waxing crescent moon, Luna, over our Saints Johns river tonight

Sometimes I said I didn’t mean to cross the line. But sometimes I knew, even if only for a moment, and crossed it anyway. This soliloquy is about recognizing those moments, accepting what cannot be undone, and choosing better next time.

Are my posts showing up?

I wrote the lyrics for this song to capture the feeling of two souls communicating across spacetime. It isn’t as mysterious as it sounds. People remain connected across distance—and even across years—without needing words. I sang the melody directly into Suno. It blends jazz with impressionism.

Four photos from last night in my driveway. First one is of Jupiter and it’s Galilean moons. I’m taking pictures of it several times a week so I can look at the patterns. Second entered of the Box galaxy (C21 or NGC4449). Fourth one is the Fireworks galaxy (C12 or NGC6946). More coming soon.

When someone special disappears from your life but never really leaves your heart… This song is about companionship that has gone missing. It could be any kind of relationship. That part doesn’t matter. What matters is that one soul left while the other stayed. Has that ever happened to you?

Some recent photos of civic dawn from my driveway. To quote a famous Jazz musician, “What a wonderful world…” #dawn #morning #twilight #civicdawn #daybreak

Four photos of the recent full moon. They may not be the best quality, but they were taken at an historical moment in time. Our astronauts had just launched toward it for the first time in over 50 years. That fact alone makes it worth keeping these photos around.

A basin isn’t just a geographical feature. It’s a condition.

Folks, the only thing that war against Iran will do is hurt us. The Iranian people will be damaged, but in the long run, we will be worse off.

The year before last, I was coming home from Syracuse, New York when I snapped this photo. I think it was over Chesapeake Bay. It was originally in color and included part of a window frame. I removed the window frame, converted the image to b&w, introduced some haze and reduced clarity.

This image is of the pinwheel galaxy (M101). It is in the constellation Ursa Major, otherwise known as the Big Dipper. I took it last night or should I say early this morning? Yes I took it then. That is way early on 3/28/2026. It is a grand design spiral galaxy. #astrophotography #stars #galaxies

A sililoquy

Join us for the No Kings protest today!

This deep-space image is of the Koi Fish galaxy (NGC4559/C36). I took it with my SeeStar S50 Telescope, early this morning, 03/27/2026. I only got 36 minutes worth of stacking, which comes to about 216 frames. This galaxy is part of the Coma Berenices constellation. #astrophotography #galaxies

Overnight

The first two images are of our closest star, the sun. The second two are artistic renditions. One is a composite image I created in Photoshop with the sun combine with a picture I took of the M101 galaxy. The other is an artistic image I created with Adobe AI art.

This exercise is a personal triumph for me because it marks my return to composing serious music. Normally these days, people prompt AI music generators to create music on their behalf. I asked ChatGPT to turn tables on me and prompt me for music.

This galaxy is classified as M101 otherwise known as the Pinwheel galaxy. I believe it is 21 million light years away from us. It is located just under the ladel of the Ursa Major (Big Dipper) or just above it depending on your perspective. Enjoy!

Bach Chorale Exercise 003b – Puer Natus in Bethlehem A 4½-minute listening piece exploring 18th-century counterpoint: chorale → invention → fugue. Part of my ongoing attempt to sharpen the techniques I first studied 40 years ago. Not a sound bite. Sit back and listen.

A reflection on the bricks

Puer Natus in Bethlehem was originally a Bach Chorale. I used it as an exercise to improve my eighth century counterpoint skills. I hope you enjoy listening to this arrangement as much as I enjoyed composing it.

Last year, I decided to practice some exercises harmonizing Bach Chorales so I could improve my skills in 18th century counterpoint. I learned these skills initially around 40 years ago. That’s when I was still composing with pencil and staff paper. This is one result of those exercises.

Happy women’s day, everyone!

This is the original music for my song, “Watch that clothesline.” It started out as Mississippi Delta Blues, but quickly evolved into something else. If I had to compare it with food, I would compare it to a greasy bowl of jambalaya that sent you to the bathroom five minutes after eating it. Enjoy!

I composed the lyrics and original music for this song as a theme for my fictional character, Rufus B Thud, a graduate of Rubonia Auxiliary Trade School (RATS). Rufus is a facts of life major. He knows a lot about nothing. He’s also a wannabe championship wrestler. He’s making his way up the ranks.

Rufus B Thud, graduate of Rubonia Auxiliary Trade School (RATS), isn’t too proud to admit he has tripped and fallen on his face. If he can admit that, you can too. In fact, he’s willing to help you learn you can fall on your face. If you don’t already know it, he’ll come over and give you a demo.

It’s been foggy tonight. It’s one of my favorite types of weather.

Happy birthday!

AI is a mirror. Sometimes you see yourself. Sometimes the version you’ve been avoiding. A Rufus B. Thud promo on digital bravado, alpha cosplay, kayfabe, and the clothesline that clears the air.

Rufus B Thud, Valedictorian of Rubonia Auxiliary Trade School (RATS), has something to say about folks calling him borderline. That includes his arch rivals, but it doesn’t leave out anyone that dares question his sanity. Could that be you? #wrestling #promos #bugsymcgraw #philosophicalrants

Rufus B Thud, alumnus of Rubonia Auxiliary Trade School (RATS), doesn’t like blizzards. But there’s one thing he likes even less and that’s a long-winded speech. #speeches #blizzards #snow #publicspeaking #glaciers

I started this as a jazz–Impressionist exercise. It drifted toward brass, misbehaved harmonically, and earned its title. Blow It Out Your Brass. Sorry. Not sorry. 🎺

Sintellectual Curiosity: Too Smart for Our Own Good Rufus B Thud, graduate of the Rubonia Auxiliary Trade School (RATS), has concluded that we all know way too much for our own good. We need to unstruct ourselves and abandon knowledge. It’s destroying us. #unstructions #sintellectualcuriosity

I took these photos of the thin crescent, moon, Mercury, and Venus earlier this week while I was on my evening walk. Enjoy. #moon #Luna #Mercury #Venus #conjunctions #planets

A cardinal perched in our shrubbery not so long ago. While these photos aren’t very detailed, I feel lucky to have gotten them. It’s rare that a cardinal stops long enough for you to take a picture of it. They’re extremely active. I grabbed my iPhone and did the best I could with the time I had.
