Thank you for this! I love the example of Moondog and his life. He was a real hero who followed his own muse and did his own thing.

Moondog is definitely an interesting chap. I listen to his music on ITunes fairly frequently, and particularly enjoyed “Witch of Endor”. Apparently, according to the biography he had an interest in numbers, and invented his own very accurate perpetual calendar.

I didn't know that about his perpetual calendar. Interesting chap is an understatement! Hope you are well!

I’m ok, though a bit bored and currently dealing with a partial power outage due to a storm.

If you like Moondog then I think the biography of him that I included in this post may interest you. Much of it flew over my head since I don’t have a deep understanding of music or it’s industry, which is a theme for most of the book.

A quietly profound tale. The minimalist shopkeeper's journey reflects the tension between inherited obligations and the pursuit of personal authenticity. Your storytelling invites deep reflection on the value of simplicity.
