I’m excited to note that our band Dirt Preachers Union will be making our Santa Cruz debut with San Diego’s Beat Farmer at Moe’s Alley on December 11. Dirt Preachers Union is the heir to Big Medicine Head, the legendary Santa Cruz paisley cowboy band.

This little guy melts me. On this trip Will rode a choo-choo train and had his first exposure to delta blues music.

Lea and I were walking past shuttered casinos and bemoaning the loss of any connection we were feeling to the campy, kitschy Reno of The Rat Pack. Then we walked by a street musician playing Sinatra. Lea and I slow danced on the sidewalk. It was magical. #reno #ratpack #sinatra #franksinatra

Reno Travelogue #1
For our anniversary Lea and I traveled by train across the Sierra to visit our noisy little neighbor to the east, Reno. Lea was radiant, as always.

"Confessionary Tree" may serve as a primer to those still struggling with climate science.

"Chief Seattle sleeps
there's a stain on the sun
his final act of conflict
when the day was done
was to lay a rose
across the barrel of the gun"
