Thursday morning thoughts: How different would things have been if Steven Fromholz stayed on with Stephen Stills after that 1971 tour and joined Manassas instead of going his own way?

Oh well, what if...

Now that The Man with the Big Hat is basically complete & as we screen the doc for family/friends of Steven Fromholz; we welcome additional producers, movers, & shakers into the fold as we approach premiere & festivals. The first of which is my good friend, Gill Holland!

Ok friends, three more chances to see the legendary Shawn Phillips LIVE this year - down in Texas! Just finished his Canadian and Midwestern legs of the 2025 tour. Can book tickets through venues or Fleming Artists website (via Bandsintown) if interested:

A friend reached out this morning after viewing Dead Man's Wire at the Austin Film Festival. Yes, dear reader, that was me & my epic salt & pepper beard & brown suit jacket just behind Bill Skarsgard during the courtroom scene - 3 seats from Carey Elwes' epic salt & pepper beard & brown suit jacket.

If folks say you're not good enough, popular enough, important enough, educated enough, rich enough, legitimate enough, pure enough, or famous enough - just keep going. Disregard them all. Be yourself. Keep going. You will be remembered.

Health, Love, & Clarity.

It is with great sadness that I share with you the news that my friend, Jan Grayson, passed away Sunday night in Louisville after a short illness.

Jan was the former Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, & had been a professor at @depauluniversity.bsky.social.

Cannot believe we've witnessed an attack on the Capitol, the deaths of a million americans from a pandemic, the enshittification of all things american, and the destruction of the White House, just in my children's lifetime.

So much thrown into the hazard. So much lost.
