A Friend of a Friend

Saw David Rawlings and Gillian Welch in concert just before Christmas. Heard this interview just now. I like the record even more after hearing Dave talk about it.

You've Got a Friend

My sister put this little jazz quartet together a couple months ago. We played one song. Here it is.

The Beguine Brothers

So I've been playing in this country band for the last several years, purely for fun. Our cardinal rule as a band is "do not overprepare" which means we might practice for an hour or so ahead of a gig, but rarely more than that. The second rule is "you may not sing a song you wrote" which sounds funny till you realize that nearly everyone in the band is a songwriter. It's a fun bunch of folks and the vibe is definitely low key.

But after .... years, we finally made some recordings. Here's the first couple tunes, My Bucket's Got a Hole In It and To Love Somebody.

Thanks to Dave for the technical work.
