THE LATEST NEWS: April, 2024
Fond feelings to you, far-flung friends. It’s spring and we’re all alive and there are tour dates. The cherry tree in our driveway is awake in a blaze of pink. Soon we will be able to reach out the window to pick cherries from just about any seat in the car. I will also pick cherries in the morning standing in the driveway in my pajamas. I will also pick cherries in the afternoon in that same pair of pajamas.

The front yard continues to sprout empty vodka bottles and the beautiful fluttering rags of plastic bags. When I was young I chugged a liter of cheap vodka before noticing the label actually read, “Vokka.” So much of life turns out to be, “Vokka” when the fine-print is read.
“The Gentlemen” TV show on Netflix features one of our songs at the very end of Episode 7.
I hang a bird feeder from the eave of the back porch every summer. During the day it is a whir of finch and sparrow. At night I watch as little black raccoon claws reach from the rooftop to slowly slide the feeder from its hook.
