A Grain of Sand

Last night I made the trek down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn to see Jean Rohe at the Owl. Jean is perhaps may favorite musician and The Owl is a hoot. I should just stop right there; you now know everything you need to know about me. I won’t because you don’t know everything […]

Radio Days

I’ve been starting to write for the last two hours. Every time I start I put on some new music I received and then get distracted. Now that people are sending me music every day I’ll have to get better at my musical time management. I very much want to make a time signature joke […]

Burning Issues

Gandalf said “The burned hand teaches best. After that, advice about fire goes to the heart.” What about the burned foot? I eat my breakfast, when others are eating lunch, in the living room. I put my French press of coffee, the coffee cup, and my little cream server on a snack table next to […]
