Some nights, the Gretchen Peters cover of Tom Russell’s song Guadalupe is the only thing that scratches a certain quiet late night itch.
“I am least of all your pilgrims here/but I am most in need of hope…”

So... there's a headline today about a "dog that won't bark." If you find that confusing, I'ma let the late great Ted Hawkins explain why that dog ain't barkin'.

Somehow, and this is one of the things I actually love about music, I missed this at the time. The ongoing discovery of new gems as the years pile up keeps ya going and engaged with creativity. Amen.

Typically, I don't play much electric guitar in my solo sets. But sometimes, it's fun on a few songs. So... maybe this comes with me to the gig at Ojai Underground on Sunday night? Nothing like some good P-90s to throw an aggressive handful of dirt into the mix.

Hi friends, I'm playing a show on Sunday, November 9 at Ojai Underground Exchange in Ojai, California. 7p downbeat. If you can't make it up to that delightful mountain town, you can get a ticket to the live stream. Details coming soon.

Another B&W panoramic from the road last week. It was raining when I pulled into Gardiner, ME. But diner food on a cool, rainy New England day… perfect.

And there it is again, the quiet after the gig, alone and reflective, but deeply grateful.
Thanks, Brookline, MA and Village Social Club. That was mighty fun!

Welp, that’s a new one. Due to the power outage here in Los Feliz, just had to rehearse for tomorrow night’s show by emergency solar lantern. But, the show must go on… or something.

If you are bored easily by the neverending nonsense, mess with folks who don’t travel, don’t research, and don’t read. When they spew forth about Tylenol and autism, first test them to see if they can pronounce “Acetominophen.” Then ask them “Oh, what about Paracetamol?” IYKYK.

Not bragging or anything, but my record of predicting the rapture not happening is much more accurate than anyone predicting it would.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Hotel Cafe last night for the show. Live music is pushback against the gloom.
Cynthia Brando and Ed Tree sounded so good! Man, what a difference a solid FOH mixer can make. Jorge Sanchez on the board, wow! Best I've ever sounded in that room.

Many people know the Maya Angelou line: “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” But it always seems to surprise people when you then treat them accordingly.

A broken clock being right twice a day only applies to analog. We're mostly digital now. When they wrong, they stay wrong until someone unplugs them and resets them.
