May 29th, 2022. SOWEBO.
SOWEBO Music and Arts Festival (once upon a time known as SOWEBOhemian) is loud and crazy. We rolled in just as the drum corps came thundering down the street with a mix of dancers shedding sequins every which where. I told Kristen that my no-doubt-never-to-be-realized dream would be to have a Baltimore drum team play…

Uncle John Sawbriar likes Saint Cecilia.
(reprinted from John’s post to Facebook – cause sometimes you’ve got to save the nice things someplace where you can read’em later) Hey Rob, just wanted to stop by and leave you a brief review of “… St. Cecelia”. (thank you!) – r Fantastic work, man… First time hearing it was like a familiar thing,…

May 24th, 2022. Ridin’ ridin’.
Gas is climbing spectacularly which means it’s about time for us to get back out on the road. Friday May 20th found Heather, Kristen, Rowan and I heading north to Mount Cuba, Delaware. I was so out-of-practice crossing state lines that I almost missed my photo. We got up to Mount Cuba Botanical Gardens plenty…

May 18th, 2022.
Just slowly catching up with the world. Ha. Sunday May 14th started off grey and thunderous with an evening forecast to match, so we once again canceled the open mic. The sky then cleared and it was beautiful all evening, with me sitting around the house feeling chill, joyous, and kinda stupid. Taking a walk…

May 16th, 2022. Cat’s snoring.
I almost dove into my day. I got up at 7 and took the long hot shower and I came downstairs and I fed that cat and fed this rob. I pressed the cold coffee and I read the news and ate breakfast. And then I stood up and went to go down the stairs…

May 15th, 2022. Hush.
Ahead of us on stage the Bethesda Fine Arts Festival was the Eric Scott Trio – but shockingly the amazing bass-playing gorgeous-voiced man on stage was… some OTHER amazing bass-playing gorgeous-voiced man! Apparently Eric had a last-minute conflict and had someone else pick up his gig. I mean – I guess betwixt that, the cancelation…

April 27th, 2022. Storms are brewin’ in your eyes… way oh.
An unrelated but beautiful pic from a depressing night at Lena’s in Alexandria, VA. Today I’m thinking about my… third (?) crush. Not my first crush (kindergarten, she and I have gone on to become friends and that’s a wonderful thing) and not my second crush (2nd or 3rd grade? I got teased by my…

May 13th, 2022. Friday the 13th.
Samia and Abraar Ahmad kicking off the music at the Sandy Spring Museum for the Montgomery County Apprenticeship Celebration. I am NOT a sound engineer. I play one on TV. I can do the job. But I’m never investing in the BIG stuff to run BIG events as I’m simply not interested in doing that,…

May 11th, 2022. Patent that Patton.
Jon Patton putting the hat on the mammoth. It’s actually quite a long story as to why I have not one, but TWO of these slightly-larger-than-my-cat mammoths, but a shorter story as to why I used to have 12 of them. It’s simple actually. When you see these marked down for sale at Target and…

May 2nd, 2022. You just have to wait!
Truer words never done been spake. Thank you domain tech support. I’m having one of those days where the world, which I KNOW is bigger than me, seems to be making a point about just how MUCH bigger it is. My brain just feels like it can’t keep up, and my soul is somewhere lagging…
