I really got going in this one, plus it's two of my best songs ever, so it's a good chance that you'll like this episode. I only put these two in a row because I'm going through the album and they are batting 3rd and 4th on the album. Check out LightningLucas.com for all things LL ...
Best, and I hope to see you again soon.

The new albums are available on all the streaming services, just search 'Lightning Lucas Happy Early Birthday Jesus' for the lighthearted album, or 'Lightning Lucas Nothing Is Lacking' for the more serious album. (Or 'Lightning Lucas Before I Find Her' for the love song album.)
'Skyfinding' is not on the streaming services, but it is available on Bandcamp... here: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/skyfinding
Toward the end of a recent episode I mention the acronym (which I made up, but have yet to popularize) MAGIC... artists make MAGIC by
Manufacturing
Acceptable
Gifts and
Iterating
Continually.
A couple of notes from this episode. 1) The old song is called 'Consider the Lilies' not 'Lilies and Sparrows'... but you get the gist. 2) 'Consider the Lilies' says nothing about the hill which I mentioned in the episode... however, the man I greeted in the song lives on the hill, and the neighborhood I reference in the song is the hill neighborhood. 3) I want to be clear that I also believe that I have ostentatious wealth... so I try not to be judgmental, but the lyric from the chorus probably is literal. And of course... I'd love to have the financial backing of people on the hill... they're good people... life is complex.
Have a wonderful listening week!

These 6 mini songs (2 of which are featured today) were commissioned by a friend who wished to remain anonymous. The songs are for a supplement to her homeschool curriculum, which mostly focused on positive things about the United States.
Opportunities to see me live include:
Thursday, July 13, 2023 6:00 PMX2 Comedy Al Fresca Register
Island Wing Company Grill & Bar - Harrisonburg
More Importantly: Cave Fest: July 15 and 16 at Melrose Caverns. https://www.melrosecaverns.com/comedyClick that link, then click "Get tickets" ("Buy tickets is something else)... Then be sure to select 'Basement Comics' in order to see me.
Most importantly; Save the evening of July 21st for a potluck followed by a concert by me, possibly with a comedy friend opening for me, and likely at the Hershberger Event Barn. 25% of the proceeds will go to NAMI for mental health research. Stay tuned for details.
As always, if you'd like to commission a song, please reach out at [email protected] of 434-218-2618

It is interesting to note how "Not My Muse" feels like it makes sense with my recent relationship that I sang about in Ep 105.
Also, apologies for the popping 'P' noises. I seem to have that one figured out by now =)

Here are two weddings songs, one new and one old.
My brother-in-law Yugo produced the first song and played all the instruments, although I wrote the lyrics and mixed and mastered it. Also, notably, the center section of the first song is a parody of the epic anti-war classic "The General" by Dispatch. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdAlCXNPlCk
The second song was a major group effort.
The Nathan and Kaitlin Wedding Song is by: The Apostle Paul, Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Carmen Schrock-Hurst, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst. At the wedding, it was performed by Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Larisa Zehr, David Jost, Stewart Nafziger, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst. 10 years later we got almost everyone to submit a recording including Nathan and Kaitlin themselves, (THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING!) I mixed it together and this is the result. Hope you enjoyed it, and know that YOU TOO COULD COMMISSION ME TO WRITE A SONG FOR YOU, simply email [email protected] if you are interested... (and now you can also call me at (434) 218-2618 )

Here's an episode I made purely for myself. If you like it too, that's just gravy, (as the saying goes).
Here's the link I promised: https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/it-aint-me-babe-rough-cut
Other than that, please be sure to check out the new website: HoldThatNote.net and also make sure you're subscribed to the show on your favorite podcast app.

Today's episode spirals around the question of how we should know which decisions to rethink and which to stick with.
I discuss Beethoven, Seth Godin, Adam Grant, and the YouTube channel Productivity Game.
I would love your feedback on this or any previous episode. Email me at [email protected]
You can find the song Inexcusable on the album A Taste Of Lightning Lucas, wherever you get your music. Or you can download it directly from me at lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/a-taste-of-lightning-lucas
Have a wonderful listening week,
--Lucas-- (Summer 2021)
P.S. I would also love to have you as a supporter. Just check out Patreon.com/LightningLucas or email me with an idea for a song commission (or call Fiv-For-Zeero-746-0398)
The only things I would add here are that you can now download "Thought It Through" on the album "Cold-Hearted Monkeys" at lightninglucas.bandcamp.com ... and that the new website is worth checking out: https://linktr.ee/lightninglucas

This episode is in honor of my Grandpa Paul. He died tragically 10 years ago, and this episode features a song I wrote about his life, followed by a song based on one of his favorite sayings: "Aim high, there's room at the top."
You can download the song GrandPaul at https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/track/grandpaul
You can support this podcast at www.patreon.com/lightninglucas
You can email me about the possibility of hiring me to write you a song at [email protected]
Enjoy the show,
--Lucas-- (spring 2021)
For all things LL check out the new website LightningLucas.com ... and I still miss Grandpa Paul... (I think he would be proud that I'm still aiming high).

I actually remastered this episode 4 months ago, but since I'm doing them in order I thought I'd just post it again. It's a good episode. I may go ahead and do episode 5 right now too.
--Lucas-- 6/11/2023
My ducks are not in a row these days, and yet, life is good (and hard). Here is a remastered repost of episode 4, which came out nearly 2 years ago. I remastered both the songs and the talking and harmonica stings. Most of you probably won't be able to tell the difference, but that's okay. (The most significant difference is that it now sounds better on large speakers, though optimal listening is still through headphones).
This is a fairly solid episode and it doesn't really touch on current events at all, so it's very repostable. Feel free to reply to this post (or email [email protected]) with a question or comment, I love to hear from you.

Remastered Repost notes:
Don't Think You Can't is a lesser-known LL song from a few years back. It's based on a quote from Henry Ford.
Blank Page is a new one based loosely on a quote from Seth Godin.
Enjoy,
Lucas
