Hi, everyone! I recently deleted my old soundcloud account, and relaunched not under my name but under a brand. There are less songs now because I'm sticking, somewhat loosely**, to a "botanical freedom and empowerment" theme. Coming soon (or not so soon, depending) will be songs about kava kava, ashwagandha, San Pedro, mushrooms, coca leaves, ginseng, kanna, and whatever else strikes my fancy. ** psychedelic campfire is not about a particular plant, but to me it fits the general neighborhood of moods, especially since I've tagged it with a pretty picture of blooming San Pedro cacti. Out of the 4 songs on soundcloud, only favorite resin is sans a BIAB contribution I've also included my youtube version (which is as yet missing psychedelic campfire) Enjoy! If you like, vote for your favorite medicinal / cognitive freedom plant or fungus you would like to see done up into a song on the channel! Please leave comments and upvotes ON THE SITES that host the songs! As you can see, I really need to get some traction. A pesky fact of human psychology is that people are reluctant to interact when no one else has, so I will be really appreciative to those who take the time to click like and write a word or two... or as much as you like, of course! I've put a ton of effort into these tunes, so I'm not at all embarrassed or shy about asking. It kind of drives me crazy, man. People will like, love and share the pages and the tunes on facebook...but yet the stats (which are reliable) tell me no one is even playing the tunes, so I guess those likes and shares are cases where the people like the IDEA of the existence of such a song. That's not very satisfying, for reasons obvious to any artist. Yes, some of you will have heard these songs before, on the old channel which I deleted. Some of you left nice comments, and "liked", and I'm very sorry for erasing those; please know they were very much appreciated but of course they are gone forever when you delete an account, and so it was a judgment call. I wanted a fresh, more anonymous start. the two channels: https://soundcloud.com/user-888317807https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIT14kd_NHZdtti7OSHfT-Q?view_as=subscriber The soundcloud tunes individually:https://soundcloud.com/user-888317807/right-to-bear-herbshttps://soundcloud.com/user-888317807/re-leaf-me-what-a-tree-leafhttps://soundcloud.com/user-888317807/favorite-resinhttps://soundcloud.com/user-888317807/psychedelic-campfire the facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/PAMAMIAM/

Very strange subject maters but nicely put together in songs. I liked two of them better that the other two but that is just my opinion.
Right to Bear Herbs - very clever rap song. Clever use of Bear.
Re Leaf Me (What a Tree Leaf) - Nice tempo changes but my least favorite, others may not agree with me.
Favorite Resin - This is the best of the four IMHO and not because of the lyrics. I liked the instrumentation. Nice guitar part.
Psychedelic Campfire - I really liked the song after your talking intro. Again nice guitar parts. Super groove. Flashback to the late 60's early 70's.
My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.
The other 2 jumped out of the way!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I totally dig your theme. Really like your songs. My favorite is "Favorite Resin". Great instrumentation and the lyrics are super interesting.

Thanks a whole bunch, Mario and TexasFrets! I truly appreciate the time y'all** took to listen and give feedback. - btw I give myself permission, a tad lenient though it may be, for that particular contraction, since I was born in TX, but...and here's where the leniency shines through...only lived there until I was 2...but I did go back there in '83 for about a year and did some stuff like help build a precut timber "kit" home somewhere near The Big Thicket in the east. Anyhoo...- Sorry for the late response, I'm in the grip of a nasty consternation, health-wise. Re: the strangeness vs the essentiality of the theme; I'd argue for the latter. In fact I purposefully draw attention to the fact that the right to defend oneself from ailments with whatever natural remedy can be had is a type of self-defense, and if one holds to the Natural Rights theory of governance, there should be a Constitutional Amendment protecting that natural right that is perfectly analogous to the Second Amendment. There will always be a tension between protecting proven, assumed or purported benefits to individuals, and proven, assumed or purported benefits to society as a whole..."The Public Good", "Public Safety", etc. IOW individual rights versus "the right to be kept (feeling) safe". Modern States have bought into the idea that experts can sometimes be enlisted to decide for everyone what is in the Public interest. We see that very struggle now with covid. Obviously, problems arise when an Agency falls under regulatory capture and the experts therein are purporting to protect the Public Welfare when they are really protecting Industry agendas. Perhaps no clearer case of this can be found than the FDA's blatantly false smear campaign against the natural coffee family "tea leaf" product common name of kratom. This, when kratom is helping thousands, nay tens of thousands, of people get off of the opiate addiction treadmill***. Kratom has been a real godsend for me, and thousands and thousands like me, for chronic pain and other ailments...and I will never stop telling (and singing) the truth about that. Anything can be abused, but kratom is, on balance, safe and effecting despite "experts" insisting otherwise. I could go on, but that's the gist of it. ***because kratom is a partial opiate agonist and recruits via G-Protein pathway rather than Beta Arrestin pathway, and is unique among opiate agonists in that regard, it is uniquely safe and effective for getting people off of harmful full agonist opiates, and treating some types of pain and anxiety with far far fewer and less severe side effects. Virtually no respiratory depression...you know, the thing that kills ya from an opioid overdose. These are scientific facts and can be found in the published papers of Henningfield, et al, and an objective survey of the literature
