November 16th, 2024. Short Shrift.
Tequila shots for the band. Happy birthday Heather Aubrey Lloyd!!! With the tenseness running up to the election and the spectacular letdown afterwards, I fear I gave short shrift to the highs and lows and birthdays and shows over the past month or so. The Journal is my memory though, so I should at LEAST…

November 12, 2024 – Reckoning.
Kristen here: It’s been a week since the election, and I still can’t look at the news. Can’t look or listen to a descent into facism being discussed or presented “objectively.” I’m not really ready to face my anger & confusion and think about what comes next. Normally I’d be devouring analysis – from those…

November 3rd, 2024. The Music City Music Open Mic.
Jack’ll take care of the car tonight. There’s always a setlist sitting on the stage when I get to Morsbergers. I hope that’s the “Black Widow” I’m thinking of cause that’d be awesome back to back with Outshined. Even WITH some (talk). Tonight was Loverly. A great cross-section of artists, new and old, some people…

October 29th, 2024. The SPARK w D Davis.
At a show recently a new friend excitedly asked if he could have my broken guitar strings. People have various reasons for asking this and GENERALLY it’s not creepy. This guy gave me the best answer EVER. He paints them and uses them as railings and hoses on model railroad engines! He just sent me…

October 28th, 2024. Go Vote.
Kristen and I got out and voted today. I feel fine about it. Not like I’ve accomplished anything great, but neither like I’ve abandoned my vote to nihilism. I try not to #robrant about politics TOO much, but I will put forth these thoughts: Leadership matters. Maybe you don’t get to vote for a perfect…
