please stop asking me to perform

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? 👋

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).
