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…

May 31st, 2025. A Fest Less Ordinary.
Saturday found us playing a beautiful festival benefit for a Farm Less Ordinary, a farm out in Virginia that trains and employs kids and adults on the autism spectrum. They start with local farm work and then continue with socialization at farmer’s markets, and they do really incredible work. It was an honour to take…

May 29th, 2025. Loss.
This isn’t actually a Memorial Day post. But on Memorial Day I was in Greenbelt, MD and saw this chalk art. Everything I remember about the war… I’m tryin’. Every day I’m tryin’. I can’t sleep. Lying in bed, I feel like something’s crushing me. I feel like my skin’s too tight and I’m slowly…

May 28th, 2025. Here comes the rain again…
Bird’s nest in the yard! Listening to the rain is one of my favourite things. I sleep with the window open even though it means my allergies make me feel terrible the next day. I move slow in the morning, listening, even though I’ve got too much to do. The front screen door rattles in…

May 27th, 2025. The SPARK w Tavair Dominque.
It’s the thing I like most about having a Moderately Clever Watch. Receiving Susan’s updates on frogs while I’m playing! Baltimore-based singer/songwriter, poet and author Tavair Dominque is a positive FORCE on the local music scene – and I do mean FORCE. It’s not a happy-go-lucky grin, it’s the grin into the wind, fighting the…

May 25th, 2025. Concert Review: Bear McCreary, Themes & Variations Tour
rob and I went to see Bear McCreary’s “Themes and Variations” tour at the 9:30 Club, and man – we wish we had dragged the rest of the band with us! People will often ask what ilyAIMY’s musical influences are – or they try to guess. I think one thing we never think to respond…
