It was a lot of fun to play a solo acoustic gig this Wednesday for some seniors down in St. John, IN. The group requested 60s-80s, which barely scratches the surface of what I do. Reach out if you'd like to book me (and a musician friend or 5) for an hour or two.

Peter Gabriel starts the rolling song/month release of _o/i_ soon (tomorrow, I think?).
Also, today I sat down at the piano and sketched the majority of melodies for a reworked-to-the-point-that-it-might-as-well-be-new Tautologic song today.
