That's really a great piece! Thanks for sharing. why are you a failed musician? How did you get so many followers? I've been on substack for a while publishing sometimes I think they’re shadow banning me.
I don't know why I have so many followers beyond I've been putting stuff out pretty much constantly since I think May 2023 -- I don't think Substack does "shadow banning", considering the controversial (not to say "dangerous"nature of a lot of the stuff I post.🤔)
The "failed musician"? Well, that's a long and bitter story. I didn't fail I guess, so much as I was consistently and thoroughly fucked over and eventually the accumulated frustration was too much. The genesis of it is here:

Thank you Roy, I tried to post a comment on WordPress about my experience in Academia but I was unable to. Anyway I like your video of the elbow plane and don't consider you to be a failed musician. As far as the shadow banning goes, I would be interested to know if my substack ever shows up in other people's suggestions for following. I tried to make a comment on one of Hamish MacKenzie's posts once and was blocked and received a message that I couldn't comment for 98 years!
The "elbow plane"? You'll have to remind me.. I've no idea who Hamish MacKenzie is, but some people are odd... Just keep plugging away at it, you'll eventually gain a following..
Hamish McKenzie is the founder of Substack. Elbow plane is supposed to be oboe playing. I use dictation and didn't proofread it sufficiently - pardon my error, please!
Gm not Dm
The original post on YouTube said D minor. But you're right, it's in G minor.

Thanks I needed that.
You're welcome. Now for the fun part. 😬
But I did love hearing this! Thanks for sharing this great piece for oboe.
Now, to spend the next 8 - 12 months, working up the chops to play it! 🤪
