Accidents Will Happen
Phil and I had a flat tire on the way back downtown from rehearsal. I think at one point we may have been driving on a surface that isn’t usually considered as “road”, but it was dark and rainy and we really shouldn’t be nit-picky.
Everybody got home safe and sound, and we’ll live to play some rock-and-roll another day, like one of these: https://www.sjatr.com/shows

Writing Day
Today was a very satisfying day of songwriting.
I’ve been working on a bunch of new tunes, and it’s always so much fun to see where they lead to, it’s kind of like raising kids and watching them grow up.
I’m on a short break right now, clearing my head. Hopefully when I get back these kids will still be well-behaved.

Phil’s Vinyl Stash
These are some of Phil’s records:
Phil (our cellist) couldn’t find his record player, but he promised me next time I came over he’d have it dug out and I could listen to some vinyl. I think I’ll start with the Everly Brothers. Then what?
In anticipation,

Poo Happens
Sometimes, right before a show, things change and your plans for a night go kaput. But it’s ok, you know why? Because of pre-show tea:
Just relax, listen to some Cat Stevens, sip some tea, and head out the door with guitar in hand and let rock-and-roll sort it all out.

Meet Bathsheba
This is my “other” guitar, Bathsheba:
She is a Martin D15. All mahogany. Very simple, but beautiful nonetheless. A nearly-blind old woman on the bus helped me name her recently, which was a relief because I was getting worried that she’d never have a name.
That’s a picture of her in anticipation of being played, but I have to take a break and listen to some Temptations tunes for a few minutes so I don’t wear my fingers out.

Mildly Addicted To Pool
I’ve become mildly addicted to pool. I got dragged into a game by a cute girl a few months ago and ever since I’ve steadily played it more and more. I can’t say I’ve become very good at it yet, but tonight I had a lot of fun playing:
Oh, and Benjamin (our drummer) is a bit of a pool shark, don’t let his nice demeanor fool you.
