March 31st, 2023. Money.
My work with Sandy Spring Museum has been a big part of having money recently. I hope it continues. Sunday afternoon I went and documented their monthly Bluegrass jam and was pleasantly surprised to run across a lot of known entities. Frank in the middle there, Ethan Mendick on the side there. A good collective…

March 28th, 2023. Boom, Like That.
Wednesday night’s Live from the Lair with the marvelous Jeff Miller. Always a pleasure to have him. Wish we didn’t ALWAYS feel cramped for time! If he gets rained out on Saturday, we’ll see him again then. I’m trying to slow down. Stop the sense of hurtling. On and on pressing the little blue “signature”…

Flawless.
Written for one of our VOM songwriting challenges… I think this was “a different success than you were planning” Re: the weird illustrations. I’m enjoying adding Stable Diffusion graphics for things when I’m just brainstorming. Throwing it the word “flawless” returns a LOT of images of women in dresses. Interesting. Let it be known, according…

March 28th, 2023. The Spark with Dalton Potter.
It’s always SOMETHING with me, isn’t it? Two weeks ago wind blew the power out. Last week everything was green. This week I forgot to bring a battery for my camera. S’truth. I’m just a wee robbish disaster! In any case, tonight felt like we were back to our normal rhythms, plus or minus that…

March 21st, 2023. The Spark w From the Dirt.
A good list. Lights are a PROBLEM some nights. I’m sort of frustrated with the light trees we’ve got and so I firmly leave them in the hands of, and at the feet of, Dave Eisner. I think he landed us on green tonight. It was the result of a LOT of stomping and that’s…

March 20th, 2023. Distracted and Meandering.
Sunday March 12th found me running sound for James Keelaghan and David Woodhead at Tikvat Israel in Rockville, MD. Great songs, incredible bass player. You don’t hear a lot of AMAZING BASS PLAYERS in my world right now, so it was really cool to see someone using it as the lead instrument, as I’d oft…

March 9th, 2023. Stressed.
This little guy helps. I’m stressed about our house. About whether it will BE our house. About how it becomes our house. About whether or not our landlord will lose his patience with the whole process if there are further roadblocks. Only YOU can keep me from being stressed about turnout! I’m stressed about healthcare.…

March 11th, 2023. Get through it.
Yeah. The sounds of moist murder. Skewered. One can relate. (this is from one of the only good episodes of Carnival Row) Joe Isaacs in charge and hosting and playing and doing the THINGS for his Music Matters Showcase. Heh – I’m packed in tight at OCA Mocha – which is a good thing I’m…

March 11th, 2023. Denny Crane.
March 7th we played to a collection of women realtors to celebrate International Women’s Month. It was quite a party, fundraiser, and shindig. By the end of it they were digging us, but it’s a reminder of just how much money some people have! Good dresses tho. This turned out to be a place where…

March 7th, 2023. The Spark with Bobby Thompson.
A good night – levels were a bit wonky at the beginning of the night, but once we got into it I logged into David’s new (to us) board and got the levels a little LESS wonky. A small list tonight. Juels Bland eventually popped in too. T’was a slow night at the spark, till…
