What’s the DI version of Duck Duck Goose? Felix, felix, felix, Fishman! The Grace DIs are everywhere in Colorado. Played at Etown in Boulder yesterday with some top notch pickers, and tonight I’ll be at The Rock Garden in Lyons with Lost Penny

Recording friendo. I love the technical challenge of session work - all kinds of different songs, styles, gear, people, and places… and the occasional 4-footed helpers. #studiomusician #sessionwork #uprightbass #womeninmusic

#Ain’tFromHere ’s stable of gitfiddles. Setting up to play a private party. Feels good to be back in the saddle of regular shows with a 5-piece band. I’m weird and *like* load in/load out. #touringmusicians #womeninmusic #bluedirtcountry

Should have talked about this gig on here, still getting used to having a Bluesky account. My office last night - last minute gig at Tom Davis in Loveland, with Ain’t From Here. Good times.

I heard some rustling in the corner, and turn around to find Jester had crawled IN the pot with my gooseberry start. 🤦 This is why I’m not doing much seed starting - trying to keep the cats out of the seedlings is a losing battle. #cats #gardening

The cats were “helping” me work on my bass lines book manuscript tonight. Felt good to start cracking on this again.

Caturday mayhem. Finally installed the supports for the #CatastrophicCreations cat wall stuff. The metal studs in the basement aren’t much better than cardboard - hence the reinforcement.

Fantastic to see so many people show up at the #colorado50501 protest. Had to leave fairly early, interested to hear the final tally. I got lots of video too. Tomorrow may be a video editing day.

The weekly Wednesday night #bluegrass jam at #TigheBros in Denver was fire tonight. A bunch of old faces that we hadn’t seen in a while and we tore it up!

My lesson/workshop zone. The dogs have figured out if I’m cleaning, odds are someone is coming over. The cats were comfortable enough to be pills while I was teaching.

Got my #dingwall out to work on some #countrymusic for #Ain’tFromHere on this frigid morning. 0F on my back porch at dawn, and the real cold hits tonight #justColoradoThings

Oz is very unhappy that I’m eating slow. He wants my bowl so bad. #doglife made some rib-sticking glop ahead of the nasty cold snap this weekend.
