coming around

finally putting tour things together. found a great drummer--you cant imagine how hard THAT'S been-- not that there arent great drummers but a good fit can be hard to find. somehow the head can take a hard knock from the heart, altho some folks find it's the other way 'round... however, the sound is getting right and im-a looking forward to it.

this'll be the first time we're throwing more covers in. ive been irritated about doing other people's music just for the cuz that ive got a plethora of whatnot to sing of my own and it felt retired to do the other, but ive been to hear some other folks' shows and noticed i always really enjoyed it when it was done as both a tribute to great songwriters and also a revamp for the present moment. very mahvelous.

btw, had yet another doggie visitation, this time a malamute with a thin belly and sweet disposition. dont know why they turn up but they do. shep would have been amused to see the outcome of his leash.


i told you that thing was useless.

well, it lasted longer than the others.

yeah, only cause i wasnt around to chew it up.

whatever.

(silence) did you like her?

oh shep. of course i did, but mainly for your sake.

right, well, glad you still care.

it'll never stop, shep. not never.

ok. me too.


life goes on. writing songs again. nice to have it come around. getting a holiday week off to sit around in the water and sand and dream about great big things. not a moment too soon.
