Hello friends, I am Ulysses of the Iliad and today I feel optimistic.
It is my first time here and I see familiar faces, I understand that it is a room to praise the inspiring muse. I want to tell you how I got here, I have designed an agenda to make the most of my time, in that programming this platform has a very important space, the truth is that #Hive fills me with good energies, and I want more of that pleasure, before it was like very precise (I sang, I used to be very precise (I used to sing, run to the station and in a fraction of seconds I could take the bus to my next responsibility) I have changed sidewalks, now I feel empirical and when I feel that way it is because something wonderful is going to happen to me, I have the map, I know what I have to do and that generates a deep breath of relief.
The truth is that I was a hermit and nomad through life without paying much attention to details, I confess that before I was here as a hidden observer, so I did not touch hearts, I thought it was not a place for me, now that I read with pause I see that yes, and how nice.
Depending on the moon phase I can be very poetic and histrionic like an Elizabethan theater artist.
Oh, I just lost the thread I had in mind.
In these last days I learned many things about how our platform works, I pressed almost all the buttons to see what discovery managed to fascinate me and I came to a little star right next to the description of each user, you touch it and it changes color, like an act of magic you make a showcase of favorites, and you go to that gallery when you only want to see the material you like the most, and there I found several written reflections of the experiences of the musicians with their neighbors, and as I live in a nice neighborhood, my neighbors love me and I love them, I came to give my humble opinion...
_ Yes, I am a musician, I am a singer. For 17 years I lived in a city, there the houses are separate, the lots have spacious front and back yards, I didn't have musician neighbors nearby, I always wanted to be where there was music. In my later houses I had no musician neighbors.
_ Yes, my older sister played classical guitar and sang, they were praise songs from the catholic church, she was in the musical band of the Sunday ceremony, there were very beautiful songs, I learned many, my sister was very talented, and I speak in the past tense of her gifts because when she got married she stopped singing and playing the guitar, her first baby broke her instrument, and until now I never heard her sing and play again.
_ No, for me it never was, many times I was invited to rehearsal sessions and when I saw the whole ensemble, I felt like being part of them, but I was very shy, thank God I overcame my shyness and began to live the experience as part of the team.
It is difficult if you are part of the gear and for some reason the work does not go well, it is repeated so many times and still does not come out in harmony, it may turn out that you are the piece that fails and your voice is fine but your ear hears a different tonality, hahahaha, it always happened to me, but I learned.
_ A lot of joy, I remember what I lived and I long to live it again, because of the pandemic the live music sites had to cease their activities so I kept that part of my life, but I am a lover of art in all its manifestations as a transmitter and as a receiver.
_ Many, thousands, I hated singing in events with cable microphone or I was blocked if I felt that the sound equipment made maneuvers and affected my return, but I had a very scathing advisor and he told me that the good artist transmits in any situation, in any scenario and condition, he only needs his talent and to know how to flow, and well it was difficult for me to process it but then I took hold of that precept and now I am more naturalistic, the funny thing about all this is that when you enter in confidence and "you lose a cock" (tragically out of tune in the peaks of the most demanding songs) jokes are made that you just had sex and a singer, like a soccer player, can not have sex before singing because the vocal cords relax, is this a myth? I don't know, but it's the primer I've always been read.
_ No, in my case, I enrolled a few years ago in a recorder course for children with my 9 year old niece, I was the only adult, I did it so she would not lose motivation, and we learned together, I practiced at night when I feel silence and I can concentrate, of course the first days the sound was not the best, but my family and neighbors never complained.
_ In my city, on holidays, cars with speakers and urban and tropical music usually go out in the streets, it is very bad, because they turn up the volume to the maximum level and saturate and distort the sound, I do not like it, there are also neighbors who celebrate Friday night at their homes with their friends and turn up the music so that the whole block can hear, I do not like it, here, in my city, the laws of noise pollution do not apply, I am not aware of anyone who has been fined by the authorities for the volume of their music. I don't like to listen to loud music, I always wear my headphones.
_ Hahaha, my neighbors have loved me, I've had many, I've moved many times, I'm not one to throw parties, I like it, but not to the point of making them part of my normal life, within the boundaries of neighbors and music, I never bothered anyone, or at least, it never reached my ears their annoyances.
_ There are songs that are karaoke classics, Mamma Mia, YMCA, I will survive and many more, those songs are to sing them and let the whole world hear it, I never did it, but I can do it today or tomorrow, I like the idea. I like to listen at full volume to the playlist of zumba songs, these songs are mostly super energetic, cheerful and magnetic.
_ I've only been held by the police once in my whole life, it was for having a glass of wine in high school, the rest, I've never been reported.
_ I have some neighbors who love traditional Venezuelan music, on Sundays at breakfast they musicalize my day, they love an album of the maestro Luis Silva, great icon of national folklore, I love it too, they are very beautiful songs and with a lot of feeling, thanks to my neighbors I was downloading little by little all the musical treasure of Luis Silva and other artists of the same genre.
In conclusion, I am a good neighbor to my neighbors, they have asked me to sing for them spontaneously on many occasions and I have never indulged them, I like to prepare myself even for what seems improvised. Thank you.
