Happy everything (Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year, etc.) to everybody!
Nobu, it's good to see you hanging out with "pot"heads!

I am so sad to note the passing of Pam Stedfeld who I remember as radiant and kind. I only heard recently.
Here is the obituary:

So, here comes 2021. I was looking forward to a 50th reunion. Hard to see that happening irl, alas.

We can't have a 50th coming up---do you know how old that would make us?!?!?

Of course, I also think I still have hair.......

Good Bye---and yes, Good Bye--to 2020!

Yeah, I do know how old that makes us. As if I needed a reminder...

I just signed up an fb account. It was quite challenging. Do you know how old that makes me?!?

Now it is March, and it is not as though I am marching anywhere at all. Grocery store, liquor store, mailbox: REPEAT PRN.

(check with your healthcare provider, or the innerknot)

I entertain myself writing letters to the editor of our local weekly. I had the extreme experience of being in the grocery store sharing air with a person who was wearing a mask, a Lone Ranger style eyes-only mask, probably proud of locating a loophole in the "wear a mask until further notice" mandate in our state. I referred to this person as a "Pinhead Cracker" and my letter was published. How ever will I top that?

Crackers?!!!  Please refer to us as "Saltine Americans," thankyouverymuch!

Happy Holidays to all!

May we have a 2022 even BETTER than 2021!

Yeah, a low threshhold for improvement, but any will be accepted with graceful dignity.

Happy holidays, and a healthy, healing 2022 to all.

So, what's everyone up to? I've been almost too comfortable this pandemic: me, Netflix, and chocolate. In my cushy idlesee, I missed aving a responsibility. Then I heard a PSA on WCPN to become a CASA, a court-appointed special advocate for children. I trained and got sworn in. It is a volunteer position, and mu caseload is one child. I am an amateur amongst professionals. It is very satisfying being part of doing what needs getting done.

I'm also practicing piano every day. I almost bought a house a few years ago; I bought a Steinway instead. For me, that was the better move.
I would love to hear how you all are.
XXXOOO

Hi Julie. What's better than music played on a Steinway? I can see and hear you playing now. Love what you are doing for children. It's so needed. Glad to hear you are doing well. I will be spending Christmas with my mother, brothers and sisters and their families. Christmas blessings to all and a better year in 2022. Luv Jen

It has been an interesting two years, I daresay.

I had a computer failure recently, taking me out of my recording and emailing of song files.

What to do? I still play everyday.

Instead of recording,  

I sit in the BIG ROOM at our house, looking out the window at Oakland Bay, WA, with microphones plugged in and headphones on. With a judicious application of reverb, I can simulate a small cafe or auditorium, and I play concerts for imaginary audiences. Instead of practicing, I perform. Stretching out and taking chances with my voice or with my fingers, making mistakes and playing on.

Literally, performing. Including chatter between songs, which took some getting used to. Having been pandemically bereft of the usual amount of human interaction, I was out of practice. But just like an imaginary friend, my audiences were forgiving and periodically adoring. Okay, always adoring. As I am their creator, they are obedient.

Having confessed my coping mechanism, I now await the resumption of real venues where I can test myself, justify my existance.

Dang. I shall miss another reunion.

If photos are taken and then published, could there be captions with names?

I know that I don't look as I usta look.

Here we are, looking through the lens of the past into the window of the future.

 

 

I cannot find my rose tinted optics, alas, so the future looks a bit grey and hazy. I admit, or is it a confession, that I am a casualty of the past few years. "Things" just aren't lookin' great to me. It did not help that logging on today I was faced with multiple classmate passings. I am largely unchanged. Still playing my guitars every day, I still adore my cat, the wife, and I have not had to bury any of my sisters. I should be a chronicly happy guy. Retirement has been good to me. And I have come around to accepting the pre-pandemic timing (19 July 2019, at 1600 hrs) as being fortuitous. I had a full schedule of gigs; paid and free and charitable performances that were my vision for retirement from the Day Gig World of the jay-oh-bee. THE JOB. 

Then, just like everyone else, Covid and isolation. I coped in interesting ways, and as I have eased back out into The World, I braved a Summer Stage to perform at Freddie Bear's Fourth Summer Jam. It was marvelous. I boasted about taking on TWO new careers since formal retirement. I reported that I had excelled at two positions: Hermit and Lush. So, not so much to brag about. But I have lived through it. So far.

Wish Me Luck.

As I wish all the best to all of you.

Let's take another go around of our sun.

Let's meet again on the bright side.

Doc

Here we are. Nove 2023. I tried to update my Profile thingy and have added many replica photos. Dang it. My neice and nephew own a coffee hop in Cleveland. It is called LEKKO 2529 Detroit Avenue. Along with some very good espresso coffee beverages, I was inspired to order and to read the fiction title THE CLEVELAND COFFEE KILLER by Kellen Alexander . The protagonist, on her first day on parole is on the hunt for coffee and a job. After securing the coffee, she discovers the body of the barista who made it, just minutes before her murder. "Oh no!. At least I know where there is a job opening!"  Amusement and mystery ensues. Front and back cover photos are on my profile page, I think. I tried, anyway.
