Strange days we live in, no?
Hi.
I’ve been off tour for a little while now, getting to see my wife and kids and friends and generally have a quiet, semi-normal life. I like it. Cooking new foods (okonomiyaki was the latest adventure), hiking in the hills, running, breaking out the paddleboard when it’s warm enough. Doing laundry.
My creative efforts have been split between producing a few songs for my friend Cory Sipper, co-writing with some new artists, composing a few spec pieces for tv, and making the first stabs at songs for a new (already overdue) solo record.
Another New Site Design
I’ve revamped the site again. This was meant to be the primary site, but I haven’t worked out the migration of the URL to a new server and so on. Hopefully this will be more concise, pleasant and informative than the last thing I slapped together. I realize it’s a little plain, but at least it’s not confusing.Let me know if there’s any dead links, misspeling or poor punctuation and grammar.
End of the Year
What a strange 365 days it’s been. Lots of touring, lots of music, not quite enough hometime. News headlines strange enough to make me check twice to make sure I’m not reading the Onion. Seen lots of some friends, nowhere near enough of others. Procrastinated about a moldy wall, organizing receipts, cleaning closets and dogs, painting rooms, repairing gadgets, selling spare gear, getting some kind of plan for the future. Hope for positive change, despair at the continuing ascendence of fear and pettiness. Increased faith in the goodness of individuals, decreased faith in our ability to move back from corporatocracy to democracy. Delight in many small miracles including but not limited to yeast, living soil, the digestive system, caramelized onions, infinite multiverses, the human mind, the coffee bean, the power of human creativity, laughter, soap. Hoping that I will be able to act from my clearest, most intelligent, most compassionate self more often in the new year. Hoping that whoever I’m speaking to right now does the same. It’s felt like a fallow time. Here’s to the hope of seedlings well tended in 2010.
