A photo that Jack Torcolese took of me at Empty Bottle last month. Proof that I smile with my teeth out sometimes (especially when I’m playing at Empty Bottle 😌)

Unfortunate news for Matt’s and my tour with Rose City Band… our car got totaled by a giant box truck on the way to the gig in Toronto tonight & my dulcimer was broken in the process. Thankfully we are okay, but unable to perform for a time. Been a true bummer of a year, but at least life goes on 🙏

Made it official with my true love four years ago today. I love you beyond everything, Matt 💖

Dreamy times last night. I love live (and recorded) music 😌

It’s been on my shelf for at least 12 years and I still haven’t read it, somehow—I really need to get in there, ha

A friend’s IG got hacked so I tried to see if I could report it on their behalf—anyway, check out the first thing Google suggested after my own inquiry. I don’t know how to express my revulsion.

Very good show coming up in a couple of weeks. I’m pulling double-duty by collaborating with the amazing Leia for the first time and co-DJing with David throughout the evening ✨

Getting to see Takaat at Little Rose is a fine example of why I love living in Cleveland ✨

Oblivion, Ryan Davis, and my first time seeing Bill Callahan—can’t complain about a great day 😌

Recording new things today. One amp in the bathroom, one amp in the closet, one love in our hearts, way too many strings on our nightmare instruments ✌️

Savoring the final stretch of this book—insanely great. Yet another one I picked up for $1 at my library’s Friends shop. ✨

Some Black Sparrow Press Paul Bowles I picked up this week from a couple different bookstores in town.

Saturday night at the Empty Bottle ✨ Excited to help celebrate the release of “Horses,” an LP on which Matt and I are happy to be featured. I heard tell that ticket levels are low, but not quite gone yet! Hope to see a ton of friendly faces—been too long since I was last in beloved Chicago.

Very much looking forward to this event in early August—so many folks I admire in one place! Presale tickets will be available March 6th. ✨ flyaroundfest.com

Deeply pleased to say Matt and I will be hitting the road with @rosecityband.bsky.social for half of July. Going to be a wonderful time! Come out if you wanna—tickets for all shows on sale now. ✨

It’s been a fucked up and impossibly long month for so many reasons personal/local/national/global, but at least the Lake Erie got like, really frozen this winter, and it’s beautiful in its extremity.

They were amazing!

Still in the early stages, but Matt is making crispy chorizo potato tacos tonight
