April 30th, 2024. The SPARK Open Mic w Elena La Fulana.
The night was chaotic and the full of song. I was wrapping things up and putting things away in the next room when I heard a crash. I decided I did NOT need to come running around the corner. Alas, the list took a tumble and got chaied into oblivion. Fortunately, it was the END…

April 28th, 2024. The Music City Open Mic.
I’m a LITTLE embarrassed because when Gino the Bard rolled in (Gino Abellanosa) I got really gushy about their recent amazing successes in the world, touring the west coast with what SORT of seemed like a gender-fluid cover band of some sort (just Instagram posts, so not a LOT of information). Gino was dumbfounded as…

April 23rd, 2024. The Takoma SPARK Open Mic w Anna p.s.
On the way to the open mic I was passed by this Lovely Volkswagon bug and I’m jealous, jealous, jealous. I slowed down and rolled down my window just to listen to the engine go by. Engine sounds are something I Love (thank you Ben Burtt) and I’m ALSO very grateful to the Gentlemen (our…

April 21st, 2024. The Music City Open Mic.
Very glad I got a photo of this new-to-me artist Paul and his home made electric “veena”. Randomly Dave Eisner popped up – and I’m grateful he did as Matt Pless, legendary Baltimore punk-folk artist randomly popped out as well – and I’d ALWAYS known Eisner would dig him. In general it was odd that…

April 21st, 2024. Bloom Where You’re Planted.
Yesterday I was exactly where I needed to be. I’m hesitant to post this because it perhaps doesn’t paint the best picture of the parties involved, but by trusting one another and working together, we DID get to have an amazing show with a spectacular new artist. Again, tentative to throw in names just because…

April 20th, 2024. Saturday Afternoon Quarterbacking.
True to form, I’m about to embark on a two-pronged post. You can follow the narrative of me griping about politics and economics in the main post, or follow along with the pictures. The two will have little to do with one another. For example, this pic goes back to Tuesday the 9th, the Tuesday…

April 9th, 2024. Dense.
Sunday I went and shot video for Joel-Michael Schwartz. Interesting to be back where I went to college – Bolton Hill, Baltimore. I got to the church on time and was going to just go ahead and load in, but I got cornered by one of the congregation who wanted to talk to another white…
