I have a very good friend that I have known for almost 30 years. About 16 years ago he had a son born with a condition known as Friedrichs Ataxia, a genetic, neurodegenertive movement disorder.

I guess the reason I’ve always loved instrumental music is due to the fact that in a certain way, it invites you to become an artist as you listen. There are no words to tell you what the music is about, you must create a picture or a story in your mind as you interpret the music in your own way.

Tonight I heard a solo guitar piece from a friend of mine named Antoine Dufour called “These Moments”. I always admired that tune and maybe even wished that I could’ve written it, it’s so incredibly well done. He and I think alike in many ways thematically and harmonically. I was moved to tears.

I hate hearing my previous recordings. I’m enjoying the new material I’m coming up with lately, though, and I really want to nail the performances and recordings this time. I guess it’s a common story. I have an autographed copy of Leo Kottke’s Circles Round the Sun signed “burn this record- Leo”

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

Looking forward to kicking off my March tour in the NorthEast at the beautiful SOPAC in South Orange New Jersey! Grab tickets at my website while they’re hot 🔥

Yo! It’s the real me, for real.
