Howdy folks, this rare appearance by The Transmissionary Six, and even more rare appearance by James & Katy of Long Wasted, is coming up fast! This will be a lovely, intimate early evening of music 😍 and it’s open to all ages! Save the date, I hope to see you there!

At first they came for [fill in the blank], and we didn’t do anything to defend them, and then they came for [fill in the blank], and we still didn’t do anything, and then they came for us, and there was nobody left to defend us. This is not abstract, not a cliche. What are you gonna do?

Just a little reminder that Cory Booker, the Dems hero of the moment, voted yes to send more bombs to Israel. I agree with him that it’s not about right or left, it’s about right or wrong. He was deadly wrong on this vote and it’s shameful.

OK, so if you do listen to this wonderful new release, I would LOVE to get a thread going about it. There's so much here in these songs, recorded by Richard in his home, it's as if you're there as he tells works out these song/stories for the first time

With sweet piano, bass & pedal steel that introduce Claire Tucker’s voice (Conversational Vampire), the catchy Waterfront Property & combining sounds that oscillate between rock ballads (Sea of Averages), graceful melodies (the splendid, regal Plains), Revelers offers immediate, pleasant listening.
