Merry Xmas from Antietam

video?

the wind up

tonight we play
the windup space
more and more
i want to
believe that this
is the venue
i want to
play in baltimore.
russell, the owner,
is attentive and
working on the
the room to
get a good
sound dialed in.
i'm thinking i'd
like to set
up shop there.

we are playing
ramshead live in
january. strange how
that is. big
place. balt. country
festival... all day.
i suppose we'll
have to get
out our more
country material. i
don't think we've
been sounding as
country as we
used to. but
then again, my
banjo has been
making the rounds
into the mix.

chuck prophet, i
don't think i
talked about him.
he's not a
very amiable fellow.
for sure... for
certain... a shame.
but i think
that adds to
his success as
an artist. he
complains and makes
awkward moments adversarial
especially with soundmen.

he wasn't very
polite to us
which was good...
my friend waiting
list is pretty
long and i
cannot edge anyone
out just because
prophet wants in.

the guy can
play guitar though.

see you tonight?

maybe maybe maybe

that old familiar feeling

it had been
some time, since
i stood in
front of persons,
all sounds emitted
were lost in
conversation, smacking of
lips, semiotics swirling
meaning in two
way communication, the
intruder that i
am... without a
ruffle, the audience
clapped anemically after
i fizzled plainly.

the long recursive road

since i've been away from the blogosphere... school has been more of a priority than i normally let it be... so sorry for that... not feeling creative to do my normal formatting... just a quick note to say i'll be doing some solo acoustic stuff soon... i miss playing in that mode... it's fun... i've kind of gotten out of practice with carrying tunes by myself... no one can blame me... the current june star line up is really incredible.

tonight i'm playing solo at the windup space in support of my wife... she's giving a presentation and the group wanted music... so here we are...
