Today my five-year-old piano student walks in with his parents, he is wearing a fancy suit with a bow tie.

I said “hey bud, I like your bow tie!”

And he says “it’s the 100th day of school so we all dressed like old people!”

Here is a friendly reminder that you can just walk outside and play guitar. Sometimes people will come up and sing and dance with you.

Also you can just go outside and draw on stuff.

you can just write a really good thought on a piece of paper and hide it somewhere.

People really never stop surprising me.

I teach an ‘intro to music’ type class and one of my favorite things is that sometimes there are people who give a strong vibe of having more conservative views on the arts, but then that person really loves the unit on John Cage.

Weird guitar sounds! I was playing around with some extended techniques. Wasn’t paying attention to camera angle and so I also kinda look like cousin It which is cool.

After doing years of live music, I have really grown to appreciate people who enjoy public events with a low level of self consciousness.

One time I saw an old hippy type dude doing tai chi in a crowd that was otherwise dancing.

Florence Reece wrote the original version of this song during the Harlan County Miners Strikes.

Love, honor, and peace to all those who sacrifice to keep oppression at bay.

If you had to listen to only one band for the rest of your life, you could do a lot worse than Queen.

They say the Eagles are the American Beatles. I think Oasis are the British Eagles. The White Stripes are the American Oasis, and Arctic Monkeys are the British White Stripes.

Being in a band is hard, and a lot of the time it doesn’t work out. There are silver linings though. Imagine if you were in a band with kind of a dumb name and it worked out, and then for the rest of your life you have to be the guy from like, Dust Knuckle or something.
