I feel bled out... I’ve bled for those who don’t deserve it... #bleed #new #cd #music #tired https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxtvWHBQCs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mllo35w2b8yh

Just a note: if anyone out there gets asked to text me for someone else, I’d appreciate it if you’d decline. I block people for a reason. Also, I don’t read any texts from numbers I don’t know. I block them as well. Thank you for honoring my #privacy #please https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvm6rRoBji8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c2wahojabftk

Decided to watch the last three or so episodes of The Walking Dead… It was difficult to see how damn stupid this show has gotten. It was my favorite show and it started with grit and has become a soap opera complete with over acting. Everyone grumbles like Clint Eastwood. Michonne is always angry. The “King” still talks shakespearean even though his jig is up. Negan is STILL around. The only thing breathing some life into this dying show is the brutality of The Whisperers. I will say “Alpha” is a very good evil character. Negan was a ridiculous storyline that went FAR too long. All industry articles I’ve read point to his character as the beginning of the end of the show. His character is when the show began to hemorrhage viewers yet the producers continued with an unpopular, dragged out storyline. It’s sad to see it go down like this. If they were smart, they’d make bad groups disappear quickly and move on to others. The dragging on of storylines kills the show. New bad guys who are brutal but end quickly. That’s how they’ll save it. Enough with the heartwarming fairs and boring storylines. I’ll be waiting for the producers to call me as to how to save the show…😊😊 #twd #alpha #great #character https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdDC1YhGT7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=138ok1udii07v

That was the easiest #casting #call ever! I just felt bad that I had to tell Tom Hanks I was busy for lunch. 🤣 The reason I won’t get a part is because on my cover sheet, I didn’t have my glasses and I noticed that for evening phone number I put “Sam” instead of “same”.... they’ll be wondering who the hell Sam is! Anyway, sorry Mr. #tomhanks 😁#film #music https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzCzwWhUz2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z262d91jys19

Recording my 5th #cd now. Every prior CD up to and including this one, I vowed to NOT make it a #marathon . I say “only 10 songs” and every damn one becomes a marathon of 14-15 songs. It just happens. I just finished writing the 15th song for my new CD. Ugh 😩 Done! Guess I’m giving folks their money’s worth! 😊 #music #indie #15 #songs #songwriter #musician www.johnschrader.com https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxQMEEhSnL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=84s358muwd8c

People keep writing to me privately so I’ll tell folks here... yes, I am going to the #hbo #casting call! Lol I’ll see what it’s about... I don’t have an interest in being “man with hat at end of hallway”.... lol But I’ll take some extra dough! 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/Buw4XsYh4tp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7bvn8ywga726

A picture of the exact transistor Radio I had as little kid. It belonged to my older brother Bobby but he gave it to me. I’d lay in bed for hours with the single ear piece listening for my favorite songs...when mom thought I was sleeping. I wish I still had it. #transistor #radio #brother #hours #listening #favorite #song #childhood #memories #music https://www.instagram.com/p/BuNiMqNBhDI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6mlk0dpfdypc

I’ve been in a lot of #music #venues in my life but there’s something about #texas .. it feels #real ..#no #bullshit . Especially this little place: Gruene Hall (pronounced Green) ... in the middle of a tiny town where #srv played. #austin has an awesome vibe too! If you’ve been in Texas, you get what I’m saying. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAUGUIhnKC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1anffflvaqoth
