Brooklyn, NY: Pipe Organ Bites Dust

Today I sold my semi-beloved faux pipe organ via craigslist. It was used in the recordings of both The Last Town Chorus albums. But it’s big. And I’m committed to scaling down so I can get outta here someday and go somewhere pretty and maybe surfable. I got misty as I watched the organ get carried away, but was chuffed about the email I received a couple hours later:

Re: pipe organ

Brooklyn, NY: How to Say Farewell, Canine Style

Brooklyn, NY: Ruffage

 

Brooklyn, NY: Mass

Brooklyn, NY: Cake avec sea salt

 

Brooklyn, NY: SkyDrama

Such dramatic skies tonight…surreally yellow then red-orange, all vast and odd, mild like between tornados.

 

Brooklyn, NY: Later, Pal.

 

New York, NY: Lakeside Lounge

I loved being back at the Lakeside, consorting with some musician comrades. Real live ‘uns, too! Unlike my usual nightly musical companions, Bach and Otis and the like.
