June 30th, 2025. Can’t sleep. Can’t wake up.
Friday June 20th we got to go play the Mountville Folk Festival. A moment of beauty and community action that left me momentarily filled with optimism. I didn’t catch the name of the guy on the left, but that’s Kipyn Martin and Andrew McKnight closing out the first night of the festival in Aldie, VA.…

June 24th, 2025. The SPARK w Sid Satellite.
Are you WORKING computer?!?!? Grrrowl, we’re beginning to have some weird new tech glitches with the SPARK streaming gear that’s beginning to fill my soul with RAAAGE – but in the room, most things were quite Loverly tonight. A slightly short night, but if even “short” means I’m not getting home till close to midnight,…

June 21st, 2025. Ups and Downs to Mountville and Back.
Heather petting a bee at Mountville Folk Festival on Friday, June 20th in Aldie, VA. This is the way it’s meant to be, perhaps. Heather’s got old friends on the stereo, we’re passing cars on an interstate with a hundred miles to go, the sun is shining down on a perfect day and we’re headed…

June 20th, 2025. The Day After. The Day Before.
Saturday June 7th me and Juels Bland and Rebecca Berlin played a wonderful little Regeneration event that SHOULD’VE been huge. Even with the number of other things going on today in Silver Spring, with a little more advance information, we could’ve done something really cool today. As it was, it was casual enough that I…

June 14th, 2025. No Kings Day.
We’ve had protesters every day on Gorman Road causing a slowdown on I-95, but I can’t hate them for it. On a lighter note – these guys have totally escaped from Seymour’s Bay, NJ. I dreamt that I’d cut my finger. A vicious chunk pulled out of my right pointer finger. I dreamt that I…

June 3rd, 2025. The SPARK w Mike P Ryan.
Mike contacted me a little while ago about playing the SPARK and I was flattered. He’s won a lot of awards and to have him cross our little stage is an honour. When it finally came time to pass last night, on top of having a great feature, we had a huge list with a…

June 2nd, 2025. Bandzoogle boondoggle.
Just our neighbourhood rabbit getting closer and closer till he got gone. What IS my news feed trying to tell me? Sanctuary cities make for some of the best places to Live? I am infuriated with Bandzoogle. In 2021 I moved the two folk organizations that I work with over to an all-in-one solution that…
