I will be doing a set at Luthier’s Co-op in Easthampton MA this Thursday, August 10. You should get home at an early hour. These are usually just 45-minute concerts.

The HD Garbage Walk
On Sunday I went to my first HD Garbage Walk. The official title is the Arlo Guthrie’s Historic Garbage Trail Walk to Massacree HD.

Many folks are following this blog for other reasons: Huntington’s Disease, caregiving, aging etc. In a perfect world, I might have separate personal, music and graphics blogs.

In between I wanted to go to the Infinity Hall open mic again and probably something local with Charlie. Lizard Lounge Open Mic… Read more →
