In which I’m glad to be back at work where it’s quiet. On Friday, my maternal grandmother turned 90. The entire family descended upon the house to celebrate. This is many, but by no means all, of them: (I appear to be related to a bunch of white people.) (This never ceases to surprise me, […]
In which there’s a trip to Spokane to play Knitting Factory, a really huge venue with a green room and private dressing rooms and a VIP lounge and everything. There was zero knitting. I made thirty bucks.

May I help you?” Woman’s voice, in full-on baby talk mode: “I have an iPhone. I can’t send mail.” Me: “Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of that. Apple seems to assume that all outgoing mail servers use SSL, but […]
In which there’s a little video Emilio shot last night. Here’s a Billy Preston cover for you. You’re welcome. In other news, Move, our latest album, recently received 9 of 10 stars at Blues Revue.
