MUSIC
and words
Hey Everyone:) I hope yr great! I’m good. I have been so busy with family stuff lately-Feeling very connected and grounded. It is a wonderful time for us.
I’m promoting work-making promotional work. It is mostly ok-overall very excited to travel and be with the band again! I am scrounging for time to make new artistic work until tour. It’s all coming along even though time feels increasingly scarce as my kids get older. Im coaching baseball- I love it much more than I ever imagined I would. I’m helping my daughter make visual art-Doing some light carpentry/fabricating objects for her to utilize in her work. I drilled a hole in my finger recently-that has healed quite nicely and instilled a fear in me that I will carry into all my future encounters with saws and drills.
Yesterday I repeated the mistake of reading and responding to comments on facebook and it reminded me of all this work I did here a couple years ago. I pulled all these down last year in a little temper tantrum I threw because I discovered that a subscriber here personally asked for dropbox links, then sifted through them and curated his own ‘best of’ compilation and was sharing it on a message board for obsessive listeners of the band Phish. I guess I coulda been more flattered and gotten cozier with this relatively minor exploitation. Listening back I see why someone would want to edit these down a bit:) At the time I couldn’t tell but there’s lotsa bullshit here-Ha! That’s much of what podcasting is right? Bullshit sprinkled with hopefully some half decent stuff. Anyway it’s all water under the bridge for me-I have chosen a difficult path in life and need to learn to take it on the chin with half a smile. I definitely see how I could handle myself a little better on and offline. It ain’t always a walk in the park. I wish it were.
I feel like a dork asking you guys to sign up for something on a site yr already signed up for- but it would make my new highly optimistic manager happy if we could text you about the band’s upcoming activity… I think I want you to type “rager” somewhere or another.
We’ll do 5 of these today- I think I have 5 more that I’ll repost if I remember. Much Love!

sent in my digits and texted RAGER — much love, and sounds like that new highly optimistic manager has good taste 🗣️
I don’t believe I have typed RAGER yet, but I did submit my phone # and got a text. Kinda figured I was all set. Psyched to learn of more tour dates, hoping for a Bay Area date! That one in Camino sounds fun though. Thanks for the tunes! cheers 🫶🏼
