Autumn in New York by Vernon Duke
On my Cordoba classical guitar with @daddarioandco.bsky.social strings
I used to play this song a lot with my dad when I was gigging as a drummer in the North Country with my dad in my teens

A 2025 goal is to keep a practice journal. I've always been terrible at this when I've tried. So, instead of planning my sessions out ahead of time, I'm simply jotting down what I worked on as I finish it. 3 days in and it's already adding some clarity to my current goals, progress, and challenges

I started to appreciate Mary Oliver's poetry only recently. Descriptions of geese and waking up to the slow, luminous world didn't yet fit with my own inner intensity. @marleymadding.bsky.social & I talked about the importance of slowness as praxis & stillness as an act of reclamation. #wildgeese
