This one on my my mind, what with the recent movie and the new music release. Played last night at open mic, but did not get vid, so here ya go. It's been a day today to relax and create, it's been a great day.

A little late, but the anniversary of Tom Petty's passing was this week. Still missed. I love so much of his music, this on has always astounded me with its genius simplicity.

Another tired but super fun night at
open mic. Played one of my all time
favorite songs for the very first time. Romeo and Juliet,
in the piano corner.

"I'll Keep It With Mine" is a beautiful Bob Dylan song that I first heard when it came out on Biograph. I fell in love with his vocal performance. Bob's version is strange to play as it has a randomness about the chords and meter that make it difficult to copy.

Kitchen table session today, with Tom Petty's "A Woman in Love (It's Not Me)". Had to do an edit before the last verse because my phone started ringing and totally distracted me.

A bit of my songwriting work today. This is just a demo to hear the bridge idea, but I figured I'd video it just to share. Live in the basement. The original demo has a big arrangement and that's almost surely how the release version will end up.

Gloomy looking Friday, and the weather affects my mood a lot. Live at the kitchen table. Screwed up the ending, but sorry, you just get one take today. Great Petty doc now on Paramount +, "Heartbreaker's Beach Party". Highly recommend.

Writing lots, doing demos and happy with what I'm doing. I am tired of working in isolation though, and I really must take steps to fix that.
"Something in the Night" is a song that I would listen to, to fire myself up before performing some 40+ years ago. Maybe it can still work its magic?

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Malcolm Gladwell's books and this one was no exception. I've had it sitting on the shelf for awhile (along with many other books) and finally got around to it. Lots of great history and insight into the human experience.
Highly recommended!

What do I do when I have a little time to kill? I find some words I've written and sing them. It's not always a serious writing session. I might have been thinking about the first Dylan record too. Anyway, a little off the cuff Shit Show for you on this snowy evening.

Valentine. I wrote this song about a year ago, and it's been put aside since then. Streaming everywhere now. Please listen, and share.
