Periscope
Periscope me baby! There is a new monster in town Monstera with no mascara The one-way mirror The importance of aim Cleaner or Saint but never the same Seam lame? Not to this grey haired mane Wild curls to be lasso’d back And perhaps harnessed It’s harder than before Old scripts don’t work anymore Forced emotions, toss ‘em Give me the wide open Your keys only work if there’s a lock It’s been picked Smashed in The door stands open You coming?

What’s going on? We need butterflies!
August 1, 2022. I can’t believe I made it this far… It’s been tenuous. Everyone’s purses are thinner this year. And now with another round of Covid cases, it’s hard to stay upbeat. So here we are. In another fight, and part of me is glad because the purpose of all this surfaces in the midst of it. With a purpose, I’m not longer asking what’s the point? Ok so Midtown Music Festival is cancelled. Why? Guns. Really? Where and what is going on? Seriously strange. We all need music to get us through. Our outlooks will slide without it. It’s worth the risk of Covid. Cuz what’s a…

Some Evolution in the making around here…
I’m chewing on some amazing Ideas from these today! New changes abound! It all started with picking up a copy of the 10th anniversary of Stealing Like An Artist. Then Steven Pressfield’s book came out and I had to have the Show Your Work after that. I’m showing my work right here as a daily dispatch. I may not do this all the time, but I’m putting my Ass where my heart wants to be by getting this on here today!

Sleeping pills
It doesn’t matter. Just pop a pill. Go to sleep… “Benadryl or something under the counter will do” If you wondering why I’m screaming, this is why. I will not sleep my life away because it pleases you. Nope. These pills are the bane of our human existence. #NONONO MAG – Do be careful.

Steamboat Lounge’s Oyster Fest February 2022 – Midtown
There was a couple at our table that had all their tools and spices with them. Evidently in previous years, there wasn’t enough supply for all the crowds. We talked with folks that have been coming to this festival for many years just for the goods. Who knew? Not me, I don’t eat oysters. I’m here for the shrimp, the company, and the music! Jive revival was rocking it early. If I had been doing music, I think they could have gone for a longer set and further into the afternoon. However, I might be partial to this band in particular. Here’s to all the places that we weren’t able…

Birthday Live Music
Two different nights at Eddie’s Attic. It was a lovely weekend of amazing artists and crowd interactions. This is my favorite venue. It’s so exciting to see it snap right back. The sound and the vibe is like medicine. We are going to be ok! The joy of discovering amazing artists and hearing their stories. We don’t need cover songs, we need your songs!
