April 26th, 2021. Slipping.
Even the drive out to the Shore Retreat on Broad Creek is idyllic. We’re so grateful to Busy Graham for making this possible for us. Greeted by a friendly entity. This was the first of many animals we got to meet this trip… I’m trying to change my perspective. A willful alteration of the illusion…

April 25th, 2021. Off and AWAY.
Getting away to Busy Graham’s Shore Retreats on Broad Creek. So grateful we get to run away every once in a while. I can feel the weight falling off of me as we drive East over the Chesapeake Bay…. interesting to see HUGE freighters lined up in the bay – I don’t think I’ve seen…

April 24th, 2021. The Refuge.
ilyAIMY rocking out at the Refuge. Many thanks to a last-of-the-real-world fans Tracy for the photograph. It’s so amazing that many of the connections made in the EARL have gotten truly cemented via the webcasts and the streams – and now some of them have the opportunity to come full circle. The Refuge was a…

April 23rd, 2021. Playing OUT.
Uh oh, Live music is back enough that there’s turf wars! Fortunately Tomas Drgon’s playing out of ear shot down at Syriana’s. Not many local guitarists could make me feel intimidated but… he’s one of them! But seeing his face pop in to our gig as we got started made me feel… wait for it……

April 20th, 2021. Who SHOULDN’T you pray for?
I mean, I don’t pray for anybody. But I send out the good vibes cause I’m not religious but maybe I’m still superstitious. And thinking positively is sometimes all I’ve got left. I try not to do it silently though. Our voices, our thoughts, sometimes it’s all we have to offer, and letting the intended…

April 21st, 2021. Vaccine pt 1.
Us wee rabbits know sometimes you take a prick for the greater good. I got my first Pfizer today. Vaccination was kind of surprisingly painless from all perspectives. The shot itself went almost completely unfelt, the in and out was smooth and fast and so far at least (only three hours later) there’s not much…

April 17th, 2021. We bring the thunder.
Excitedly bringing the NOISE at the College Park Arts Exchange Porch Play on Saturday, April 17th, 2021. Mark H Rooney thanking the online audience. I Love changing things up. Mayhaps it’s why ilyAIMY remains eternally malleable. Well… that and the fact that we’re not big enough to pay everyone what they’re worth so I often…

April 15th, 2021. Why Can’t I Be Unconscious/
It’s 4am and there’s a lot of things completely out of my control right now. I can’t MAKE people see reason. I can’t kill COVID with a wish. I can’t make the birds outside my window be quiet. I can’t go back and NOT screw up an awful lot during last night’s Live from the…
