Wow Kevin,
I love that new sound there! Yes, we have some new conversations going on. Isn't that amazing how that happens. Glad you popped over here. Nice to hear people are still alive. I have always said that as long as other people are contributing, I'll be around. But if it only descends to "Likes" and other superficial things, I can find other things to do with my time and efforts.
Glad to see you and thanks for the new discovery. Think he'll go far. Especially with all the "Evil Clowns" that are all over the place. It's find of funny to me. I believe CLOWNS are about to go the way of the RINGLING BROTHERS CIRCUS. It's funny how they are all being branded "EVIL" now and people who have been clowns all their lives are now complaining they can't get work, are only scaring people. Steven King is coming out with a new movie that brings back his evil Pennywise the clown" from "IT." Final nail in the coffin.
Sometimes when history and public opinion changes around you, you best find a different lively hood. And it's easy to see how this happened. Back in the 1800's into the early and mid 1900's, Clowns were huge because they WERE comedy. They were the entertainment for circuses, Vaudville, etc. Even into the 50's and 60's. Then some things happened. All those kids in the 40's and 50's that went to circuses and were SCARED by clowns (I was one of them) grew up and became writers, actors, directors, musicians, etc. And those "Evil" clowns" started to pop up in horror movies and other things in the 70's and 80's,
There were serial killers like John Wayne Gacy and others who raped, tortured, robbed banks, etc. and could get away with it behind the masks and clown make up. So the image of the clown started dying and being destroyed about then. After hundreds of horror movies, TV shows, and the like, now the Internet is filled with "Evil Clowns being spotted all over and luring Children into woods. Don't know how much is true, I think it's all a bunch of idiots pulling off stunts for the Internet but I'll tell you, anyone trying to be a clown in this day and age, is....well a CLOWN. Better look for a new line of work.
Just like PETA has done away with Circuses, and the way we treat animals is changing, Clowns are the next to go. Just outlived their day.
It's funny how trends will do that. And how some things that are innocent can be TOTALLY changed for the bad. It is in many things. In the ate 1800's into the 1900's, a very popular mustache was called the "TOOTHBRUSH MUSTACHE." It was so popular a very successful (former CLOWN) named CHARLIE CHAPLIN, made it famous in the movies. It was that little black thing over a lip that looked like a caterpiller. A lot of men wore them, expecially when Chaplin came out with "The Little Tramp."
That all changed about 1936, when this little man out of Germany named Adolf Hitler wore one and tried to take over the world, plunging us into WORLD WAR II. From then on, it was not so popular.

Trends can do that. What goes up, must come down.
Enjoyed the "Clown listen." Hope he doesn't quit his day job. LOL!
