Gaines Post - Author & Musician

Storytelling through music and words. 

Welcome to my channel! I'm an author of fiction who's addicted to music. What I aim to do here on YouTube is combine those two passions. 

I primarily play flute & guitar and sing. Lately I’ve been teaching myself violin, but it’ll be a while before I can play without sending the cats sprinting for cover!

All my life, I’ve been fascinated with stories and storytelling. These are often written or spoken, of course, but storytelling can take many different forms. Sometimes a jazz trumpet solo can spin a fascinating yarn, for example. A painting can, too. On this channel, I explore storytelling not only through words, but also through sound, vibration, melody, rhythm, and so on. 

I hope you'll join me on this journey through the universe of vibrations and imagination, and help me celebrate the very human act that is storytelling, in all its forms. 

I also keep a blog and post info about my published work over at https://www.otherspect.com .
