welcome to December

Today was the first day it was nasty to be out walking. Ice on the sidewalks and a the wind is biting cold. Made the trek from work to the co-op and then home and I'm out again soon to jam with Patrick and Sam in a few minutes. Layers.

A pal is leaving town to return on Sunday and I'll be tending to his walks and watching for package deliveries while he's away. Hope we don't get dumped on!

The trio is ratcheting up to twice-a-week jamming. We jam, we learn songs and in the not too distant future we'll write some music together. I'm loving where we're at and looking forward to where we'll go. We have a great vibe as a trio - both personal and musical connections going on. I find myself happy much of the time, for no apparent reason. I suspect the return to regular drumming is responsible.

Tom will play the part of WORT DJ from 9-11PM this coming Sunday. It'll be music appropriate for a chill-out end of the weekend type of deal. The fundraiser show I aired last month was more 'pump it up' in character. This time more long pieces, some Steve Reich and whatever quiet beauty I can rustle up.

listen:
Fantomas - The Director's Cut
Joni Mitchell - Hejira
Heartless Bastards - "The Mountain"
