Ok, so I'm guessing all you shits missed the memo, but Lithium = the end of my virtuoso career. I'm deadly serious - my brother injured my pinky, which isn't great, but I literally have small but constant tremors from my Lithium. That's a typical side-effect. So, if you're wondering why I pivoted to rhythm guitar, that's the reason. My fumbles are still plenty audible, but for rhythm guitar that's essentially ok. - So, what this means is that me performing Pan like Gershwin = no, only no. I physically can't, and nobody would tell me to stop taking Lithium. It's still the gold standard when it comes to bipolar stabilisation. - Much like Brouwer was forced into early retirement, so am I. He became a great composer after his performing career, so maybe me as well? đź‘‹

That's Michelle's story, both in the past and over the last several years. It's fiction, but it's close enough to the truth.

My singing is mostly unaffected, hence all the karaoke! But mostly because I dug those songs and I wanted to share. People who think that it's all about Chloe or one of my other friends are naive. I like those songs more than my girlfriends (it's a close call, but yeah).
