All Shook Up!

I can’t afford to lose focus while editing videos or carving. Working on someone’s pet project is no time for my mind to wander to a memory stirred by a particular piece of music. 

A lot of music stirs me up. Running on Empty by Jackson Brown can almost induce a full hallucination. Trust me, we don’t want to go there. Those were freaky times.

There is usually no harm in it, just a recollection of times gone by. But it can be disconcerting to walk by the shop and see me with gouges and knives in hand, gazing at nothing while the Band plays The Weight, and I boogy at full tilt to the music.

Other songs to avoid include Psycho Killer, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, Money for Nothing, and any old Jimmy Buffet.

If you see me this way, just lead me over to a chair, get me fluids to rehydrate after all that dancing in place, and quietly repeat the date, that I am safe, and at home. After a while, I’ll drift back a little wilted, but no worse for the experience…really!
