July, July!

Friday 7.24 from 5:30-7pm! With Rocky Seahorse at The Covert Café

Dear Friend,

Normally I'd wax poetic but a third of summer has disappeared along with my attention span, since I'm playing a set tomorrow at the Hostel and have, yet again, neglected to give a little more lead time with the newsletter. I've posted about it on Instagram, but we all know the algorithm eats those things. According to metrics, my engagement has dropped again, and perhaps I get what I deserve since I stubbornly refuse to play the game.

I had a lovely sunset house concert out near Joshua Tree at the beginning of the month, and a little bit of a post-show magic with the Milky Way dripping stars into the high desert winds. Maybe I'll write about it in the next missive, maybe it will wind up in a song. It was all so moving and I don't think I have it in me to render it to you, just at this moment.

Be well!

Dear Friend, I celebrated my solar return last Monday, after erroneously commenting on KBOO's Live on Q with Cody Riker the earlier Saturday, that I am four years younger than Fiona Apple. I am, in fact, five years younger than Fiona Apple, who is also notably a Virgo, and celebrates her solar return on the 13th. So I guess...

Dear Friend, I had been agonizing about sending this particular issue, mostly due to some personal struggles I feel are unwise to detail in a parasocial setting, but then NATIONAL TREASURE DOLLY PARTON DIED. I have very little to add to the outpouring of grief and love splashing the internet at the moment. I would hardly call myself a fan, though I respected her. "9 to 5" is the second song on my "Gotta Get Up" morning playlist. Every interview I'd ever seen or read points to her being a...
