Because I want to keep recording and playing, I am obligated to let you know that the Memorial Day merch sale is live - $13 tees, up to 40% off the rest: clothing, art prints, mugs, and more ~ theislen.threadless.com #musicmerch #singersongwriter #musiciansupport

Suddenly my YT feed is full of Jazz musicians intent on explaining why Jazz is "better" than Blues, complete with oversimplifications and cheesily played examples.
Better? How about different?
Or, as my old teacher used to say:
Style! Style! Style! Style! Style!

Anything can be rendered unappealing by a poorly understood, uncommitted performance (but that nose in the air kinda weakens the argument....)

Joe or Wes wouldn't have been caught dead making a vid like that.

The stuff that happens when you teach in a music store - had a nice chat with Wanda King (daughter of Freddie) today - sweet lady!

Miss Morgan has arrived (yesterday) - grandbaby number holy crap that many? Mom Amber and baby are fine, Executive Producer is there seeing to the siblings and sending updates.

Excuse me, but no --

Someday, there will be another Mavericks team that can shoot free throws....

Spotify are fecking crooks.
Please listen, but please listen anywhere else.

Couldn't be the sign on the door...

DFW area 'nauts - tonight I'm playing at Four Bullets Brewery in Richardson - local craft beers and local craft songs under the stars on a nice night for a patio show!

Over the weekend the vultures got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside, and at dawn on Monday the city awoke out of its lethargy of centuries with the warm, soft breeze of a great man dead and rotting grandeur.
And then the dragons arrived.
