April 24th, 2022. A good day.
The closing act of the closing festival of the day. I’ve known about Kelly Bell Band for years – but holy crap I’ve never seen them Live. An old, old friend from the Vault days turned out to be their guitarist and Eric (guitarist on the right) recognized us and has apparently been with KBB…

April 20th, 2022.
We watched the Batman last night and for the first time since Watchmen I feel like the grimdarkery of DC Comics had a PURPOSE. Overall, I’m very, very back and forth as to whether or not I liked the movie, but it DID feel like it had more purpose, more message than almost any previous…

April 17th, 2022. Happy Easter.
Getting all warmed up Friday night in Ellicott City. I know the series is technically “folky Friday” but… we made do with a whole lot of original US and deep throbbing bass.

April 12th, 2022. I’m up, I’m up.

April 11th, 2022. A really good article.
This is a pretty impressive article – take a moment (well, a couple of moments as it’s pretty long) and read through it. If you’re moving through it and get your TL:DRs on, at least skip to the last portion “Democracy After Babel”. I don’t agree with all of it, but honestly my own solution…

April 9th, 2022. Music on the Heights.
Music on the Heights house concerts in Broadlands, VA. What a beautiful room! I know, I know… act like you’re used to it Hinkal! Muhahahaha. Music on the Heights, with its managerie of animals (both stuffed and not), beautiful house-concert-worthy house and Loverly presenters was just – a JOY. I swear, there are audiences you…
