Taking a moment to celebrate the success of Zoukology 2025, the bouzouki/mandolin/cittern weekend I help organize in NM every winter! 2025 was our biggest year yet, and we're already excited for 2026. Check out more photos and thoughts on my blog:

My transcriptions shop is fully updated for the new year!

Older tabs are $4, while more recent ones are $5 and include an mp3. I have several freebies available, too! Lots to choose from if you're looking to add some Celtic or folk fingerstyle to your repertoire.

I try to wait to order things online until I have a good handful, that way hopefully the shipping waste per item ratio is lower and I don't have to feel as guilty.

Guitar Center really ruined that by separately shipping this one small humidifier in a box that could have fit about 50. 🙄

Soon I'll be headed out to Albuquerque for Zoukology! It's a full weekend of Irish bouzouki, mandolin, octave mando, cittern, & mandocello, co-hosted with my favorite NM friends. There's still room for a couple more students, and the 1/31 house concert is open to all!

I know the world is full of terrible things happening right now, but if you currently have the luxury to examine your quotidien choices, may I present to you yet more reasons to leave Spotify if you haven't already. Excellent article by @lizpelly.bsky.social
