Track 7 - Winter Solstice - LIVE and imperfectly human.

When music makes your neck tingle

How do you become a friend?

Tom Waits singing Baby One More Time

Looky! I made a thing to share. Feel free to share it while you're still free to share it! Especially if you live in California or know a lot of folks who do.

Trans rights are, in fact, human rights. Pass it on.

I'm going to have to memorize my password here. It doesn't remain logged in 😁

You shall not pass!

Cheeky

Happy birthday, complicated.

"Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists." -FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, 32ND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

A little #madworld thank you Gary Jules & New Order. I just met this messed up, beautiful song.

Why so serious, face?

What was the last song that made you cry?

My dog is rad 🐕‍🦺

Lost a tooth as a kid, then literally lost it. I was crushed. Mom, mid-makeup, shouts, “Five bucks to whoever finds it!” Chaos ensues. Secretly, she’d already found it and slipped it to me with a wink. Classic Mom. Magic, strategy, love... while getting ready for work.

What makes a song good?

How long does it take you to write a song?

I'm getting a little bolder in my playing. I can't wait to get all these pieces together 🤗

As a musician, do you consider yourself an artist? How about vis versa?

Showing up on the other side of a cold.

I wish we all were capable of handling complex emotions with greater ease. It gets so beautiful when you're not afraid to cry. Just let yourself be willing to feel it. Let yourself be willing to feel anything other than hate. It's fucking worth it.

A little ditty. See if you can spot the Star Wars reference. Also, I'm going to do this again with better audio🤣

'Science seeks to find truth in the natural world; art seeks to find truth in the emotional world.' - Daniel J. Levitin. I've been digging his books.

Whatcha working on?

I am so thankful for the sun. To feel it on my face reminds me I am human. To believe that it shines only for me reminds me that I am an artist. To know that it shines for all of us reminds me that I'm thoughtful. To know that not everyone feels it at the same time makes me feel oddly connected. 🤔❤️🤗

I photoshopped some photoshopped Photoshop to prove a point about gullibility online. Now, surely this is not art. Or is it?

Pencil drawing of a photograph. Is this art? (That is my Dad, btw, he was a funny guy!)

I pushed a button to select ISO, turned 2 nobs (Shutter Speed, aperture) and then pressed another button. 2 Buttons. 2 Nobs. That's it. Is this art?

I used a Canon 5D III camera and Adobe Lightroom to create this image. Is this art?

Hello! I'm on a bit of a mass follow of musical folks at the moment. I haven't been disappointed yet on the quality of people here on BlueSky! Feel free to follow back. I'm looking forward to sharing more music if society still exists when I've got more to share 😅

Fellow humans. Thank you for being beautifully, stubbornly, inefficient! Remember this: “Efficiency” sounds good—until it means erasing people. “Optimization” feels neutral—until it devalues empathy. “Streamlining” implies progress—until the human part is removed. Fight D.O.G.E. BS!

Alright. Let's get this tooth yanked.

Y'all ok today?

I got caffeinated this California AM

I want you to know, without question, that I genuinely care about every single one of you—no matter your story, your struggles, or your successes. My love is grounded in the simple truth that we all share a common humanity, with hopes and fears that deserve compassion. (Continued in reply)

I'm starting to feel the good side of healing. The less-pain-more-thriving side.

True or false? Reality is the mirror through which the universe sees itself.

What I miss?

Ok, feeling a bit of goof

Guess what BlueSky friends? Today is my birthday 🤘

What I have to deal with when writing in the morning. So ruff

OMgoodness. If I can whip enough confidence I do believe I can deliver. Something interesting, at least. Maybe something shiny. (Reviewing recordings)

Showtime! Archive videoooo

Kindness matters!

Is love at first sight possible? Is it sustainable?

Hope you get it today. Go get it! Got it? 🤘✌️

Bizzy day!
