What are your best tips for making Instagram videos that pop and are memorable and shareable ? I’m working to up my game and learn how to do this better.

What’s up Ashland?!?!?
Pastel sky as it rains through smoke. Loaf of sourdough bread… isn’t she loafly? The sky reddens at night, thought I’m nowhere near the sea.

I’m not all about the business side of trying to get my fellow musicians paid for their skill and time, though I care about that a lot, I’m also a singer because I love songs and have since before I could walk. That said, anybody coming on Sunday got carpool room in their vehicle, for friends too?
ID of vibrant orange blooms and green leaves and stalks on CA poppies at S Van Ness, because public transit in the Bay Area isn’t always easy, and i’d like to make sure and connect locals who want to come, who also know and love the beauty of these “burnished wildflowers”. Friends helping friends is a part of it all. <3

No make-up selfie…. Like that almost every day unless I’m performing. This is what one smiling face of a femme person not trying to be younger or smaller or dumber than I am, looks like. About to drink my afternoon tea and head into the cool, grey garden. Be bright, be big, be as wise as your years.
Amelia’s smiling face and long dark hair.

Sea grasses out at Sunset Dunes new park in SF. With sky and lightly graffitied sea wall. California Poppies beside the teal of a plastics manufacturer wall, over asphalt and parking lines. Me and S smiling in front of the Pacific Ocean. Deep blue grey in the background. Making faces while the wind tousles my hair and I’m bundled up in sweaters (plural) red and navy, beside the sea wall and a saffron tea. Bin and shore behind me.

Got work to do so, I’m hanging at the coffee shop waiting for tea and bruschetta. Feels like spring in San Francisco. What sweet things are you noticing today?

Studio work for my friend D. It’s good to be making music with pals again, more, still. Recording in the weather is a process.
Jimmy, and Steve in the booth at Foxtail. Recording a traditional song which is the first song I ever performed as a kid, previously recorded with Ray Frank at El Mundo Burno in Oakland. Me listening to squeezebox being recorded. Black shoes and white with skirt in cram at bottom. Out the winder on my way in the winter

Suzuki and me and Jimmy out taking pictures in a glade trying to be nice to our instruments. And a San Francisco heart sculpture. No better way to shift perspective and mood than a proper romp on a trampoline. Haven’t laughed so hard In ages. I needed that. You should try it if you can.
Three musicians in a glade with instruments. Amelia in front with drum, Suzuki and Jimmy slightly behind with guitar and fiddle. In dappled sunlight on grass. Lightly smiling. Three people holding hands and instruments on a trampoline, laughing. Three people holding instruments on a trampoline. Trees in background. Blue sky. Wearing black.

We’re in “central casting” at the orthopedic surgeons for a consult. (S’s joke). The view out the window.
Yellow heart sculpture next to the medical center parking lot below and out the window. Pretty view out the window of blue sky, parking lot below and houses.
