Well, this year has been the longest two weeks of my life. I’m guessing it probably has been for you as well. Back on March 7 of 2020 I went out to see a friend of mine (Mr. Andrew Geano – shown rocking out at right here) debut in a video he had shot (in… More »

100 Virtual Shows
My goodness, we have been locked up a long time, haven’t we? I was just sitting here planning the songs I’ll be playing for next week’s show, and the little chart that I use to make sure that I mix things up song-wise also helps me to track how many shows I’ve played and where.… More »
New Years Eve 2020 to 21
(Subtitle, “WTF was that?”) So I know that this is coming a little late. It had been intended as a New Years message, but… I’ve been on vacation. Seriously. No schedule. In my case this means my panic attacks have very little structure upon which to hang themselves, so… there’s that. But I have more… More »
Recording, and Being
Greetings everyone. It’s the end of another week, and the beginning of yet another. I cannot express to you how happy I am that I’ll be taking vacation time at the end of this week. Also, there are at least two new songs that feel like they want to be written. I plan to work… More »
Making Lemonade (and Music)
Not sure about you, but I am on day three of lockdown due to the coronavirus situation. Have been working from the house, making a lot of meals at home, even baking some bread. I hope to be finishing up some songwriting – some of that has been going on, but not enough yet to… More »
The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You*
Right in the middle of an e x t e n d e d travel jag right now. Do have some music news as well. So maybe let’s cover that first: Hey! I’ve got yet another new single up on Spotify! In The End has seen a lot of good play in open mic and… More »
Resetting
Resetting is a very necessary thing. And a thing I rather wish I had an ability to truly do. Work for me is an obligation, but also an aspiration. My brother and I have had conversations about this. Somehow we and everyone else in my family have absorbed the message that we are supposed to… More »
New Year, Stuff Done, Stuff to Do
A very happy 2020 to you all! 2019 was an incredible year, and I’m really looking forward to this new year ahead. In 1943 Woody Guthrie famously put together a list of things he wanted to accomplish in the year ahead. I’m gonna do something of the same here below (though a slightly shorter list). … More »
A Special Place
I am of an age at which starting new habits or routines is unusual and often difficult. We become set in our patterns and are loath to change them – which is why when it comes time to make a change, having a supportive community around you is so incredibly valuable. An institution of seven… More »
Fighting the Self Doubts
It’s been a lively and busy summer so far, and last night I just did my 21st open mic night since first getting back out on the stage last September. It’s been a transformative experience, and I am incredibly appreciative of the community of artists that I have been able to find, particularly in Newton,… More »
