It has been longer than I anticipated, but here is another episode of the podcast I have been doing for some years now. I will try to get a few more done this year.
This time I talk about motivation. I have some contributions on that topic from my Hive friends @steve-o2023 and @daniellemurray. Danielle also supplies the closing music.
I am open to other contributions to the podcast. If you want to record a short piece for me to include then get it touch. It can be anything to do with music. If you send me something I can also include some of your music in the show.
You can contact me on Hive or I am also steevc on Gmail.
Rock on!
It was your willingness to go all in with my imagined scenarios regardless of genre that got me playing jazz clarinet in the first place :) Looking forward to many more tunes with you and the rest of the gang! x
It's been a blast. Maybe one day we will write that prog album too! ;)

Great episode and I can imagine some instruments are harder to learn than others. Those who persevere get better at it! Great music and live jazz amongst many other genres.
You can entertain people with complex jazz or with a three chord folk song. It is all music. I should have said that setting up a pub session really motivated me as I had more reasons to practice and I learnt a lot at those sessions.

I’m planning on setting up a synth club here in Spencer’s Wood and online primarily to study both music, sound design and the hardware/software combinations for achieving those goals. Something nerdy and we could potentially organise meet-ups at the village hall. Only member right now is me, so need to gauge the interest around here.
Music needn’t be complex though. One of my favourite things right now is the Norns I’ve got and talked about in the episode of my podcast that has yet to be uploaded to cast garden. It’s great for building scripts for experimental music exploration.
Getting enough local interest can be an issue, but then I found a load of musicians when I set up the pub session. I advertised it on FB and also on Meetup.com. Need to build a critical mass to keep it going, but the musicians group is self-sustaining now even without me. Synth may be a little more niche, but good luck with it.
We’re already involved with the local community and our village hall. Tina is on the committee and I look after the website for it. Soon starting up an instagram account for it too.
There are one or two clubs that meet there each week plus various scout groups, a couple of evenings it’s not in use, so that could be when we fit other things in. I hadn’t thought of meet-up.com that’s a good idea
Our local halls seem fairly busy. I'm trying to get us back to the pub near me. You would think they would welcome more punters during the week.
I guess it depends on the kind of business model many pubs have in mind. PubCo pubs are perhaps more interested in profit than community!
