Also, I, and some of the other artists who will be performing at The Venue in Aurora this Saturday night, 2/7, for Jenny Bienemann’s Haiku Milieu show, will be on Folk Festival on WDCB at 8pm tonight to talk about it and play the songs we wrote for the occasion.

I can’t wait to share the stage with so many of my friends next Saturday at The Venue in Aurora, IL for Jenny Bienemann’s Haiku Milieu concert, celebrating the release of Jenny’s new tiny book, “The Come Back.” We’ll all be performing original songs inspired by Jenny’s haiku.

I was intending to release this song as a single but decided to do "Apothecary" instead. Downside is this one has barely any streams on it. It's a shame, because I think it's a pretty good one. I wrote it the day after John Prine passed:
open.spotify.com/track/3VqUY2...
