It's been all Northwest pix so far, but the next time we play www.angelofthewinds.com (Mon Sept 22 11am-3pm) our giant freakin' slide show video wall in-your-face photo exhibition will feature a few images from an old trip to Peru. This (35mm film!) pic of vicunas on the Altiplano won a few prizes.

His "shoot a guy in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it" fantasy might be metastasizing.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

The band and I got kicked off Facebook for some reason, but other bandmates are still there and created a new Facebook page for the band, if you still do that sort of thing ... "Like" and, y'know ... share.

All around Washington D.C.
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the spilling of some mayonnaise
For wasting all the dijon, but I say

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

Many thanks to Hugo Helmer Music and the Burlington Police Department for the return of my stolen “blue” guitar and Boss Katana amp. Thought they were goners.

The news is infuriating, exhausting, frustrating. We all need to take the night off.

We play some SJW songs, e.g. The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby; We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel; Trouble In Paradise by J.D. Souther ("You can't sleep at night in a solid gold room"). We wrote a verse especially for #45 in "Do It Again" by Steely Dan ... #47 deserves a few more already.
