As the more astute of you have noticed, I haven't made very many shows at all in the last few...years. Aside from my age & questionable health, I've been finding it more & more difficult to keep up the maintenance on a sizable house on just over an acre of land. Lots of painting, foundation repair, lawn/garden care and plumbing nightmares. Which reminds me - Protip: Guys over 70 shouldn't be climbing tall ladders. Just saying.

The upshot of all these factors meant fewer Mad Music Shows and more focus on my actual life. Now, for the first time in 8 years, I have a new PC. I'm still getting used to Win10. "No, sir. I don't like it!" as that cartoon horse used to say.

In a short time, I'll have driven out the bugs, Microsoft's spyware and the name brand bloatware from the new machine. I'm glad I bought it last month before the coronavirus hit. PCs will start getting more expensive soon, I'm thinking.

But I digress. This message is supposed to be about my show plans for the near future. Since I can only make shows when I feel well, holiday shows like the upcoming St. Patrick's Day show will be made whenever the hell I can manage it. It might arrive in June...or September. But it'll still arrive. And there's still half a Christmas show due from "Celestra Arrgula" that hasn't been delivered to me yet. Yes, it's months late, so sorting that out's on the 'to do' list as well.

Meanwhile, I'm still fighting to load all my old programs & data on the new machine and get the old machine working in another room. Once that battle is over, new shows. But that battle has been going on for a month now, so don't hold your breath.
