Home for a couple of days, People. The Seattle and Portland shows were great. I scheduled them so I could get a day or two in each town as well as the shows. Dean came with me. We did the Seattle show at ...

Back for a couple of days, Folks.I have to say I haven’t changed my mind about Missouri but St. Louis is great. When I travel I don’t always know where I am. I remember some things from some places. ...

Jazz, People!I know it’s ridiculous but I’m just now getting into Bill Evans. I don’t want to hear anything about it. There is no more late-to-the-party. Some people will go through their entire lives ...

No more good news, People!It really feels that way. I guess I’ve said it before. I just seems like there’s not going to be any good news about anything ever again. Now we have to grade the news on a ...

I rocked it pretty well, Folks!The combo played Largo. We have no name for the band because I wasn’t sure we were going to be a band for the long haul and obviously we may not be. I do think we will do it ...

Back from Utah, Folks! I did five great shows in SLC. I mean it. Really connected, wild shows. With a lot of exploring, riffing.  I loved to riff on the Mormons and they seem to like it as ...

Panic, People.Am I the only one on the edge of total panic most of the time? I’m surprised I haven’t lost my shit, like at all, in terms of panic. Not in years really. It must be because I’m older and I ...

The heaviness, People.Rodney called it the heaviness.That weight in your chest that you are trying to pull up with your mind. That sinking heartache. It’s depression if it’s depression. It’s sadness if ...

Movies are back, People!I went to the movies. I guess that’s what I mean. I wore a mask and sat with others and enjoyed the communal experience of seeing a movie. I was at an art theater so the screen ...

The past, people. The past. I don’t know if anyone else experiences this but when I am in waking consciousness, not quite a dream, my entire brain is mine but the life I am living is not the life I am in. ...

I need some sleep, People.It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed I still seem to wake up at 6 am. Just happens. I thought it was what happens when you get old. You need less sleep. When I wake up though ...

Hola, Amigos!Sorry. In New Mexico for a few days. Seeing the old man while I can and he still has a few marbles left. Which he does. I met my brother out here. I don’t think the three of us have been ...

Eating, People.I don’t know what’s happening in my mind really. I’ve been aggro and impatient and cynically angry and very funny. I guess it all feeds the same beast. I guess the way I innately gather my ...

Okay, People…I guess everything is back to normal? I have no idea what the rules are. Is it business-to-business in terms of masks? I go some places, like supermarkets, and it seems that masks are still ...

The heat is here, Folks! Again, another summer of fire panic is starting. People wonder why people leave Cali and I believe the reason is primarily fire panic. ‘They’ are saying it’s going to be worse ...
