Data Report

Masked Man coming at ya with some more late night music to help get you through your weekend...

..Those last recordings were pretty rambunctious but fun ..I got that out of my system for now... Let's bring it down a notch or two for some late night grooving.. let's plug guitar back into the clean channel.. I turned down the treble just a tad on my amp...

Hope you 'stay at homers' are enjoying my little music productions. I like to share my music with people such as yourselves who respect microscopic entities. Its nice to know somebody out there has bit of respect for such entities. It takes a certain kind of person to appreciate the significance of the studies and work that Data Report and other members have collected, archived, and done a bit cross-examination and shared some introspection and insights as well in this forum...

...its always good to share and play a bit of music from the heart for such independent individuals such as you people here at Data Report Info forum...
Here's some slow blues stuff for ya to groove to!

I tell ya things are looking tough. We've got a lot of challenges ahead of us. Too much is happening to say the least... they say music soothes the savage beast so we better do some more blues...

... ah this is a pretty sweet sound on this one almost sounds country to me reminiscent of a steel guitar sometimes with long whining notes but also might be somewhat mellow with some warmth in the notes.... there's some nice musical riffs I think in this one.. I take a little more time with the notes in this one...

Keep on Groovin' Data Report Info members and guests!

Happy Easter Everybody,

Data Report indicated on one of his programs there should be a virtual music benefit concert... damn right! So many musicians have gotten messed up by covid too! There's music benefits for everything .. a music benefit for covid is long overdue! Masked Man agrees with Data Report! There should definitely be a virtual benefit concert for those with long covid in fact there should be many virtual concerts to raise awareness and benefit those suffering from long covid...

Let's ROCK! and Swing  for those with long covid and to those who know a friend or family member affected by covid! Here's a virtual concert which is just me rocking out in my bedroom with my dog Scamp curled up in his chair obviously enjoying the groove... I personally think there should be more virtual concerts and that musicians should stay home and not draw crowds and adapt to the times and play from home ...play it safe and smart and use technology like online performances to not get sick ...I'm having the time of my life just playing away from the safety of my own home that's for sure!!! Feels like I'm jamming for the world when I hit that little send button to share my music online! its awesome! Its just as real as anything playing my music sharing  from my bedroom. It feels just as special to me if not more so because its real me playing my guitar and Its my pleasure to jam for you brothers and sisters!This is what I live for! This is my dream getting to play guitar for ya!

Its time for my Happy Easter and Long Covid Awareness Concert for you...

Happy Fourth of July 2025


Musical Tribute  to Doc Watson Fourth of July Special  2025 with Masked Man and his guitar (special guest virtual online appearance Sheriff H***an)

I create public awareness videos and musical productions to encourage masking and precautions. I discourage gatherings and encourage people to stay at home especially on holidays.

So I emailed my sheriff wishing him a happy and safe fourth of July
..I share my way of life in regards to masking  ..I send public awareness messages that invite first responders and emergency workers to mask and safety precautions and send a video or two or some music wishing his team safety and happiness every holiday . Sheriff helped me and my street out when he helped put and end tp some totally out of control post football game parties/raves that were taking place on my street...Sheriff plays piano for relaxation and so I send him music. I use him like a therapist when I have something on my mind and try to send messages of respect and happiness to him basically. He shares a little ..he served in war so on memorial day I sent him some navy song...

I talked a bit about me and my loved one.. the Hurricane flood, the pandemic  and how it used to be before all that on my street just sharing my way of life before and after  . At one point he asked me about the construction on my street and what all the construction signs were for.. so I told him all about the construction stuff and at the end of email said he was going to request county send a building inspector to one neighbor who needs it.. anyway by the end of my email of me just babbling a lot I also found I was singing and creating music at same time so I was able to send him an audio music album of mp3s at the end of our email correspondence to celebrate Fourth of July!..

.. I created a stay at home Musical tribute to Doc Watson a local musical hero here renown for flatpicking guitar and keeping Appalachian music alive...


So I used to bum around, visit people, play my guitar and talk or whatever .. but nowadays this is my style to do more  stay at home visiting online and doing virtual online musical performances.. you know sharing online instead of in person to be on the safe side. I got to hang out with the sheriff online and just blab away talking about whatever I feel and I played guitar and sang the whole time just like the old days … I had a great time brothers and sisters and here’s our fourth of July celebration which is just my style….

So here it is: I am a musician and in one email me and the sheriff just produced a little album together of some songs Doc Watson would play!

Musical Tribute  to Doc Watson Fourth of July Special  2025 with Masked Man and his guitar (special guest virtual online appearance Sheriff H***n)

I performed these four tunes on the fly  with my nylon string flamenco guitar while hanging out with the sheriff via email on Fourth of July holiday..it was awesome…

Happy fourth of July 2025 to Sheriff H****an,
and to Data Report Info

I educate others about options we have and I share my masked way of life, I am also a musician, music is a way of life for me so I try to be entertaining while living, I never stop performing even if I stay at home or am a masker,
The Masked Man



.

I still get to play music with others even though I stay at home...

In efforts to inspire musicians and artists and whoever  to stay safe, to stay at home, and share things you love online...

I  share with you how I get to play and correspond with other musicians online without having to make personal contact. You can do this with painters, writers, people who do arts and crafts, scholars, etc. without having to meet face to face in person.

Here is a musician who posts something called a 'backing track' online  his name is Reinis Jaunais and here is a link to his backing track:



... So I, the Masked Man who takes a lot of precautions and who doesn't leave my home still gets to play my music with others online .. here is an example of how I can still play guitar with other musicians...

"Dear Reinis Jaunais.

I played along to your backing track!

"Hi, you are amazing. Here's some videos of me trying to play along to your backing track. Thank you for giving us a backing track. I wear a mask in public  and still take a lot of COVID precautions and  so its a rare treat and honor to get to play with anybody so I got to play with you virtually online to your backing track.

here's a few takes of me playing with you, Reinis Jaunais Jamming in A:

I don't have a you tube account  otherwise I'd reply .. feel free to post a link to my videos of me playing to your backing track or make some sort of split screen video of us playing together if you want.. just email me if you use any of my footage so I can watch it and send to friends... Thanks again for your awesome backing tracks!,

Thanks,
Richard/The Masked Man"

P.S. I hope this helps serve as an example inspires and helps teach others how they too can share interests, hobbies, dreams, online and still stay safe at home more

Masked Man the musicians public awareness message/challenge:

According to data and fact, I am losing my favorite musicians prematurely to airborne illness. Not only that, I have already lost so many of my favorite musicians already due to covid and/or airborne illnesses and diseases.

My message is" "Hey old musicians(and young wannabes and young musicians for that matter) stay safe in the recording studio and pass away not of covid or contagious airborne illnesses!" 

Just look at "List of performers Sick"listed here at Data Report Info:
https://www.datareport.info/celebrity-health-news/list-of-performers-sick-in-2025/msg4053/?topicseen#new

Look throughout Data Report Info and time and time again covid, pneumonia, (That is just mentioning a mere fraction of the many contagious airborne viruses available to you out there) is actually killing the ones I love. Its totally necessary, in my mind, that we should not breathe in the virus or rub it into our membranes such when we touch our eyes and nose or share germs by sucking on our glasses stems or sharing cell phones ...

anyway this is my Masked Man public awareness message/challenge to my favorite rock stars and musical performers:
You need to stay fresh by isolating yourselves from the average wanna be's. Stay away from people. Stay at home and be creative from the safety of your own homes , studio or private dens. You are needed in the studio to record and to compose.. we have that technology now... you need to record more work and take advantage of performing online instead of going out before the masses and creating frivolous gatherings

I tell you this from the bottom of my heart because I love you.. I'd rather see you not catch covid or pneumonia etc. an die at 80 or 85 .. I'd rather see ya safe healthier for having taking health precautions and living creating music in the studio and even performing from the safety of your own homes well into the late nineties and even in the 100's.

C'mon great old musicians I wanna see you live at least in your 90-s to 100's rocking from your bedroom like me the Masked Man who never gets sick because he takes health precautions such as masking.  Take some mask precautions and help prevent airborne diseases by not catching them which means more years of living playing music for us online!

I love musicians,
The Masked Man
