On Phil Lesh Lane just outside the Capitol Theater in Port Chester NY... I don't know if someone purposely vandalized the crosswalk sign to make it look like Jerry Garcia's hand telling you not to cross, but, if so, it is genius!

A jazzy, Beat, Waits-ish song about seedy 42nd Street in 1990s Times Square before it became a Disneyfied tourist den.

#Song about staring into the eyes of death, the long day almost over, nothing left to look forward to, and all that remains is the hope that you were kind to others.

RIP Tom Robbins, one of my all-time favorite writers. This photo was taken in 1967 while he was working on his first novel, "Another Roadside Attraction", in what appears to be a cardboard office in South Bend, WA.

A song about facing past mistakes and realizing there is nowhere to go but forward, no matter how barren the landscape.

A Wilco-ish song about when later in life many things you had are gone and the world you once lived in no longer exists.

Inspired by late 80s-early 90s pop, "Electric Bed" is a catchy tune about an evening of romance sparked by a frayed extension cord.

"Owls on the Propeller" is a #song about how it is #wise to land the plane and wait out the storm, to stop and let the parade of fools pass, and to allow the chaos to consume itself, before continuing forward. #NewMusic #music #singersongwriter #forward youtube.com/@rdaub82
