Bawitaba was big on the radio back in the 90s when I was a dumb kid.
We liked it because it had an anti authoritarian sound on some tracks:
‘Paint the town red, and paint the sheriff’s wife white’.
That got a giggle from us.
The tracks in between were lack luster, even alt-country.
The next album was a no-buy.
Sounds like something from 1001 Arabian Nights.
When you live in a big city you learn where you can spend time on the cheap. Look for libraries, beaches, parks.
If you find the right Cafe/bar/tavern, be kind and tip well a couple times and they won’t get sore if you nurse a pint while grinding out the last hundred pages of Dune.

Or they would just tell me to pirate soft synth in Ableton and use a cheap midi, which is financially rational, but it isn’t the same.

I’m having a terrible anxiety flashback from installing Ubuntu on a netbook back in 2010. It was like a 20 command process that required babysitting and a second computer. It felt like each thing I fixed broke two other things.
Things are better now, thankfully.
He got the three ghosts, he just slept through them.
Y’see, that’s not quite how it works.
Hey, maintaining that server is a 24/7 job after the last update. There are dozens of people depending on me.
Copilot? Write me a terse reply to the highlighted comment.
And when Mercury is in retrograde, you can make an excuse for anything being kind of shitty or off.
He had a bit role in Joe Dirt as well, that my friend group was super in to the year it released for some reason. We weren’t even southern or country, I think we just liked mocking the aforementioned designations.
