The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare depicts the courtship of Petruchio and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew. Initially, Katherina is an unwilling participant in the relationship; however, Petruchio "tames" her with various psychological and physical torments, such as keeping her from eating and drinking, until she becomes a desirable, compliant, and obedient bride. The question of whether the play is misogynistic has become the subject of considerable controversy, particularly among modern scholars, audiences, and readers. (Wikipedia)

This is not a demo or a review of the Zoom R24. This video explains why I like, and have bought several, of these digital recorders. As a singer-songwriter it is one of my most useful tools. I try not to splurge on gear since I´m not a professional musician but the R24 is pretty affordable (under 400€) and I hope to keep using it for a long time.

I believe in positive thinking BUT it can also lead to being unrealistic about your expectations and all the affirmations in the world aren´t gonna do the work for you. My New Year´s resolutions kick in in a few hours and it´s gonna be a bitch. I can do this!

Yes, Covid 19 is all over this song as well as my ideas about viral videos, earworms and the like. The idea of putting something out into the world like a song or a virus fascinates me. We are all experiencing together this new cultural phenomenon. Books, radio, TV and now the internet, reach us like the old trade routes did back in the day. Of course, the faster the trends rise the faster they fall (unless the lab engineering is really good). I have no label, no manager, no gigs, no nothing but I can still put this out there and you can read it. Incredible. "In my day we didn´t have any of this fancy shmancy....."

The idea comes from the book The Selfish Gene. ""Selfish", when applied to genes, doesn't mean "selfish" at all. It means, instead, an extremely important quality for which there is no good word in the English language: "the quality of being copied by a Darwinian selection process." The final chapter of the first edition introduced the idea of the meme, a culturally-transmitted entity such as a hummable tune, by analogy to genetic transmission.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released their first album on November 9, 1976. This song is dedicated to Tom Petty and David Bowie, two of my favorite songwriters ever. My dad, another Tom, also passed away a couple of years ago and there is a bit of that in there too. Support my musical fantasy camp here: https://shtmusik.bandcamp.com/album/2....
