Thanks to all my friends, family, music-buds, and any fans out there!! This is my first blog as "oldNfunky" and it's kinda fun to just write about the ABSOLUTE crazy time this is, when you are trying to finish a "record" of where you are, what you do, and how people and music have impacted your life, humanity, spirituality, and love...and when so many are involved in the process (when you ask them - and my GOD, I did - and they sure told me!!) collaborating with Axel Schneider (Digitalsymphonix), Kyle Wood, and Dan Kusz (and all their friends)...amazing artists and absolute talents in writing, arranging, playing - HELLO peeps and there over 700 days into this bedlam (try to stop me now) so imagine: you are 57 and have played, performed, recorded, and whatever, since you were 11 years of age, AND people encouraged you............WHAT? and still DO!...that is trouble to the 2 0 1 0 and what everyone says, and how they respond really resonates and then the process begins:

1 - Idea (be oldandfunky, because you are)
2 - Collaborate with all new people (and younger)
3 - Test it with everyone (even those that don't want to - you may get a reality check on that! and I did) find out it's 15-30+ and keep the "schmaltzy songs" because most people love the "LOVE Songs"
4 - Be obnoxious about presenting your STUFF (and suffer the consequences) I have, but I don't believe I ever hurt anyone in my obno-icity
5 - Believe your own bad self and your bad stuff - please tell me why not?
6 - Have your son "mattmcloone.com photography" do your photos and videos and wait until hell freezes over to ask him to try "one more deal, sonny boy" the sun comes out tomorrow
7 - Add one more song on February 9, 2010, when the completed tacks and recordings are finished (don't tell Axel, please) and the insanity prevails...and oNf gets closer to the ??????
