Ruby Come On

Demo

Hey Folks- Hope everyone is alright. I’m alright. We’re alright. My boy has taken to baseball more than anything I’ve seen him take to in his life thus far…except maybe Fortnite. Thank goodness we are moving away from that a little bit. Naturally I’m all the way back into the game I grew up knowing better than anything else. It’s got me out there everyday in the sun after school. I like that. We work together an extra 15 or so hours a week and he’s improving quickly. We are so similar-He is talented and demonstrates strong leadership on the diamond but is a very anxious and emotional player just like I was. I’m trying to teach us both to meditate and visualize positive outcomes.

My daughter won first prize in an art contest last week! I dunno if I shared the picture of the Devo inspired piece we made. My phone is dead…Maybe I’ll share it later. It’s the march of evolution but in reverse with a giant cloud of information emitting from a device held by the subject at the final stage of devolution. It’s cool. We made another sculptural piece over the weekend that is tackling the issue of teen mental health. I helped her make this video so she could submit it to another contest. It does not do the work justice. We were down to the wire on a school night:) You understand!

I’m very proud of both of my kids. I am so happy at home with my partner and our stinky babies. I will miss our life together so much when I hit the road with the band this summer and fall but I gotta get back out there and sing for our supper. I’m visualizing positive outcomes.

Here’s a demo of Ruby from 6 years ago! Hard to believe. I have a very nice full band studio recording somewhere with a big honkin guitar solo that I will try to get to a place to share-maybe over the weekend. It’s the pandemic stage band. Ripping. It’s very good but in the end I wanted the feel to feel like me. A little more unfrozen caveman lawyer if you will.
