Lulu’s Fate w Georgie Jessup at Edith May’s Paradise in Jessup, MD. Wednesday June 26th saw us playing a sadly underpopulated show – but an amazing one despite that. As thunderstorms rocked Adams Morgan, DC we rocked Club Heaven and Hell with Laura Baron and Nanny Assis… and Nanny Assis’ bass player who was kind…

Quinton Randal performing at my Teavolve open mic and demonstrating why you DON’T use glass slides! I’m a brass man myself. I am a sleeeeepy button. But it’s time to run my open mic. In the last month (35 days) I’ve had no day “off”. I’ve had 6 nights where I wasn’t playing music, but…

Old Bowie Town Grille w DeJohn and Bruce Lebowitz. Weird dreams last night – weird enough as to give my friend Erica a run for her somno-theatric money. She dreams them crazy and I’ve always been jealous of that… Last night I had a fairly typical Game of Thrones dream: my mom’s house was some…

Burrrrning. Amy Law brings her neice into House of Musical Traditions to purchase a ukulele. She’s thoroughly excited at the prospect! Friday night was amazing. I mean absolutely amazing. The Takoma Park shows we’ve done have been things I’ve worked really, really hard at. I think I’m working under the fear that this community doesn’t…

Ah, back to recording mOsno – here’s his face after I recommend perhaps recording my 5-string bass as a bowed drone… But I convinced them – and we gave it a try…. And now look at him! Happy as can be! I win. Conjure Woman featuring at Old Bowie Town Grille in Bowie, MD. Wow.…

ilyAIMY at the New Deal Cafe. ilyAIMY at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt, MD on May 19th, 2013. Sigh. Sometimes I AM the bad guy. I do my best to MAKE the best of bad situations, but sometimes you’ve just got to hold your breath, ignore the stink and get it over with. It’s…

Being an open mic host can be a pretty thankless task. It’s definitely a labour of Love, and one that can get you down. I’ve been hosting open mics since 2008 or so and have been attending them since I learned of their existence in 1993 or so. By 95 I was playing with others…

Aw, I can tell I’m home. Juno dances with joy! I couldn’t sleep last night. Two reasons. One’s not a good one: I had a mashup of the “awoos” from “The Monster Mash” and INXS’ “Devil Inside” stuck in my head. As earworms go it’s one of the more bizarre one and I think it’s…

We’ve passed this a dozen times going to and from Coffee Amici and I’ve long wanted to stop in. I’ve actually had today’s visit on my calendar since I scheduled tonight’s gig. Finally we visit the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum here in Wanananatok, OH. So – did I catch Heather’s cold? Or is…

At the end of the show, we were relaxing in the kitchen and our hosts finally released their cats. Selkie here came down the stairs and just as I was being told “oh, and Selkie’s really shy” this mammal got really pushy about needing my hands-on Love. Our hosts were kind of stunned. I think…
