R.I.P. Jack DeJohnette. I consider myself blessed to have seen/heard him in concert 3 times, the first with Miles. But this was my favorite of all Jack's groups. Jack, Lester Bowie (trumpet), John Abercrombie (guitar) and Eddie Gomez (bass).

lt took a full day of picking along the Montana-Idaho state line ... and an hour or so of simmering and processing, but my pantry now holds enough Huckleberry Jam to piquantly sweeten a long Montana winter.

I went to the Montana Folk Festival in Butte last week. A diverse lineup of music from around the globe. Fantastic.

Goddamn. Thank you for Pet Sounds. Thank you for all your teenage symphonies to god. Thank you for being open about your struggles with mental health. Rest in well-deserved peace.

A hitmaker elevated and burdened by the label of genius, he transcended the breezy surf genre to create complex harmonies and intricate soundscapes in the studio.

I've "hunted" wild asparagus throughout my rural Montana neighborhood for many seasons. This year the harvest was abundant. Any good recipes? Send them my way!

If you hate Pope Leo XIV because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

The mutual benefits of BARTER.
Struck up an easy deal with a friend: I provide fresh, home-roasted arabica coffee in exchange for eggs from her generous backyard free-foraging hens. She's getting the best deal, she says. But I happily dis--agree!

This article isn’t for the Democratic Party — it’s for you, the Democratic base.
Democrats champion diversity in appearance and background, yet increasingly the base suppresses diversity of thought.
If we want to be a broad coalition that wins elections, it has to stop.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

A neighbor, who I consider a culinary artist, has this winter been experimenting with varieties of sourdough and wheat bread. I am a lucky one... I get to sample and offer "feedback!"
