I want to thank everyone who was involved with the Cycledelic "Music" Trip! I had a major blast with old and new friends. Much good and much to build on.
I would like first (second) to say that I am talking a break from playing concerts for the duration of the winter. I may have a few shows this fall and they will be posted here. During my break I will be writing, walking, looking at birds (I want them all!), keeping the fire going when necessary, reliving last winter but in new ways, politics, building weird bikes, riding/walking to work, not having a car (on purpose), writing again, staring at blue 4-o'clock snow-heavy trees, doing things I yet don't know about, etc, etc. The stuff people say about how it feels and looks to live in VT in fall and winter is actually true. Since I've been back, I've been in a constant state of somewhere-very-elseness; I plan on maintaining that. I also need a little piece of my day for working at the Co-op (I've got cats to support!).
I have some special things in mind for this mini-lifetime. You can look forward to them. Included are:
* The already mentioned new album with woodcut on LA records.
* a 3-way sibling thang my brother and sister and I are working on! More details later. (My brother's work you may know) (My sister's work you can see one piece of at http://www.somervilleopenstudios.org/user/artist_profile.php?artistID=637)
* Helping to produce Kyle Tomzo's next record. {(any chance to work with Crazio (wait, that's me)}
OH MY GOD! I forgot to tell you about new way for me to show you favorite selections from my poetry sketchbook!!!:
