Surf’s up…still

THE election is tomorrow. Am I nervous…you bet. Sitting in the house since March, trying not to but riding the waves of shifting opinion, moral outrage, dire warning, calls to action, screams of resistance, pleas for sanity, shameless lying, impotent complaint…on and on…all punctuated by the growing beat of tribal drums. But there’s always an “up side”, right?

Life has driven me into the studio. This time not just to write and record but also to put things out, instead of waiting on other people to make it happen the way I used to.

“The Meteorite” is my first release. Six songs recorded last year with brilliant players. Our intention was to release the record in conjunction with live performances. At first the players were on the road with other artists so I ended last year doing a few very small solo, guitar/vocal, gigs to shake down the songs and get comfortable playing them live. It was fun, they went well, I was feeling positive and fairly excited. Then the Nashville Tornado. Then covid-19. (my computer just tried to change covid to “cover” , because it never heard of covid. It has no idea why we’ve been spending so much time together, and that’s one virus it doesn’t have to worry about or have an answer for).

So here it is and here we are…all sitting at a red light wondering and afraid of what happens when the change comes. But change always comes, just not usually dressed so outrageously or dancing in such wild abandon.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for listening. Be good to each other. No matter what happens, something always comes next.
