Greg Klyma of Somerville, MA playing at my Java Mammas open mic in Reisterstown, MD. A great player, I was flattered to have him come through my little room, though it must’ve seemed overly tame after open mics like Tom Bianchi’s at the Burren or the Lizard Lounge. Still, it was great to have him…

The Streets of Frederick festival. Many major roads were closed and the directions that took us to our parking spot for our set involved going the wrong way down several tiny alleys. It was way more exciting to get there than it should’ve been. My housemate, Amy, has a problem. She’s obsessed with spoons. Bowls…

Keola got married yesterday to the beautiful Joanna Smith. I couldn’t wish for a more wonderful lady for him, and she makes him pretty close to the perfect guy. It’s amazing how we fit one another, and amazing how we flow into one another. It’s frightening how this DOESN’T happen for some couples, or how…

Heather was recently interviewed by an artist interested in the meanings and metaphors surrounding keys. On top of her tattoo, Heather of course has tons of keys that she’s collected for her found-object work. She still had them laid out when I came by to finish recording her new album “Samples” and it was too…

It was an interesting night filled with exploration. I LOVE playing…

I remember falling asleep to the gentle grind of the tape player, hoping that the soft thud of the auto-reverse wouldn’t wake me. After recording for 45 minutes on one side and nearly-silently flipping over for another 45, the sharp SNAP click of the cassette snapping off WOULD be enough to wake me, and so…

To the right, Seth Horan performing at Milk Boy Coffee in Philadelphia, PA. We play with the coolest people. I would like to petition the Powers That Be for an additional day in the week. It would be a day off specifically charged with making sure that people who do a part-time job during the…

Welcome the squid whisk into our Lives. I found it in a little shop somewhere in Boston. It was too cool NOT to bring home. A Friday all for myself. I didn’t think I was going to have one for quite some time (November some time). But here I am, sitting in the Living room,…
