Haven't been doing #SpaceSongSunday recently, because I wrote TWO songs with lots of F & F minor chords and it cramps up my hand something fierce! Trying to get some good recordings... for now, here's a rough one of "Hell for Leather" – an anthem to chaos. :3
(The drawing is for something else [wink], but it fits pretty well IMO)
New #SpaceSongSunday, in honor of Tom Lehrer (take a wild guess) 💙 https://youtu.be/EcqrAfSVyC8
(Now a YouTube link, with fully edited subtitles and links to my chaotic performance notes + the Wikipedia article with the table of stars!)
It's a bit of a mess! But that's the joy of it. ✨
@radiofreefedi Had a BEAUTIFUL time playing for y'all! What an audience – many thanks to all who joined, shared, & requested. Favorite moment: breaking down laughing in the middle of the Red Dwarf megamix 😆
Just scrolled back through and realized I'd missed a request for "Russian Satellite" by Mighty Sparrow! An amazing tune about Laika, the unfortunate space dog. Will have to do that again soon: https://youtu.be/PSZOLAoOskk
Working on bringing future #SpaceSongSunday sessions to Fedi! 🤘💙✨

Friends, be starstruck as alex ports #SpaceSongSunday to a Wednesday with acoustic and voice covers and originals of all things space themed/adjacent. Good times off the starboard bow captain!
Another chance to #joinIn together at home as this awesome month long artists' streaming series jumps to light speed.

Looking forward to doing #SpaceSongSunday on a Wednesday as part of @radiofreefedi #RFFF25 ! July 16 at 2000 UTC (1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern): https://party.radiofreefedi.net
I've finally fixed https://www.spacesongsunday.com to point to the series' home, with lyrics and chords for most of the stuff I play. LMK if you have a fave on there and I'll include it in the set ^_^
Lots of other cool stuff happening during the Fest as well! 🤘🪐✨
Made some replacement string pins for my guitar with #Onshape and #3DPrinting ! https://glow-ahead.ghost.io/replacement-guitar-string-pins/#/portal/
About to go live with another #SpaceSongSunday, where we shall see if they immediately break and lash me with steel fury. (glowascii on IG / https://bit.ly/spacesongsunday)
Gonna start up #SpaceSongSunday again this weekend 💙🪐✨ https://www.instagram.com/glowascii
Live songs about space—covers & originals & rewrites—with requests taken! See most of my repertoire (plus many chords/lyrics & liner notes) here: https://bit.ly/spacesongsunday
Got a fave that would (probably) work with voice and guitar / mandolin / uke / Pocket Operator? I've mostly made it through the requests queue. :D
New #SpaceSongSunday ~ Now & then, I go on IG Live and play songs (covers, originals, altered lyrics) about #space :)
This week: my new mashup of Rocket Man + Nobody Home; my arrangement of the Nikita Gill poem "93% Stardust"; warm & #cozy songs for resilience (including one from #LotR)... and more ✨
