Over a year ago my first-born son posted this guitar piece on Soundcloud. It pains me to no end to listen to this and having found out that he passed away on October 27th 2023. - He was just 52 years old! His funeral is set for November 3rd 2023 in Calgary, Alberta. Jay was his nickname, in fact he went under Jay Wormbox on Facebook. Wormbox is the name of the band he was the lead guitarist. His given name is Jason Rapp. RIP my son - I love you and my heart aches. Perhaps we see each other again when I too will go over the rainbow bridge. I weep as I write this.
The last time I seen my son personally was 2015 in Lethbridge, Alberta, when I came for a vacation visit to my former home. He came from Calgary to see me, together with his two children Trista and Sebastian. Spending time with my younger son Otti and his mother Christan.
I remember as if it were yesterday, the times we had when he was just a little boy. These pictures are particularly precious to me, recovered and scanned from an old album. His mother, Mary Jane, passed away in 2009. After we separated in 1988, Mary Jane also had 2 daughters, Tasha and Nicole.

 Mermaid Corinna on Facebook My friend Coco aka Corinna Herden, who is also a associate member of our Freimaler Group has just now released a new song "Brand New Day" Electronic Byronic featuring Mermaid Corinna
Song lyrics inspired by the story "The Little Mermaid": -I can still recall the days of you and me Salty skin, hot breath, embraced swimming in the sea. -When you swam to me, I did not know your name, Songs you sang to me, seduced me all the same. Promise of pleasure in a kingdom by the sea, Whispers of legends that used to be. -It’s a brand new day, the future is you and me, Everlasting love, and immortality. It’s a brand new day, my love will set you free, Earthly bonds that bind, just follow the call of the sea. -When I sang to you the yearnings of my heart, Songs of pain for you, we should not be apart. Sands of time wash by the memories of pain, Hope that springs anew brings life to me again. -It’s a brand new day, the future is you and me, Everlasting love, and immortality. It’s a brand new day, my love will set you free, Earthly bonds that bind, just follow the call of the sea. -I can still recall the days of you and me Electronic Byronic Mermaid Corinna & Corinna Herden Cover art by Paul Allan Ballard (This song is © Electronic Byronic)  How metal is Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights"? Here's a fantasy metal version of the 500 Year Old Butt Song from Hell, based on the recent transcription of the music written on some guy's butt.

Live in Odeon. Vienna. Austria. 2011
The "Strings and Stories of a Troubadour" concert became the closing of 10 years travelling around the world. Since then the music has changed flowing into what is known today as "Internal Flight". This song is still performed live, yet as an ever expanding improvisation. http://estastonne.bandcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/estastonnemu... http://www.EstasTonne.com 
Fantastic visionary music by lovely Schaye
UPDATE July 2020
This blog linked to a MySpace account that is no longer functional (nor is MySpace, for that matter).
Beatrice and I had been friends for a long time, and she changes names and personae quite frequently. On Facebook, she is Beatrice Bear (Beatrice Little Bear), and before Amazone Schaye. Confusing perhaps if you look for her music, because that is not listed on Facebook either, and a Google search does not help either. However, I had been following her of late on Soundcloud, and depending the genre, she has different accounts on there as well.
