So going way North tomorrow.


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

Sailor and Tunes fondly bid adieu to their uncle Drew, yet another New Yorker exiled by the recession and fleeing to a more affordable city…
And a bit of songwriting progress on the never-ending rehab of ‘You’re Coming With Me’… I dropped I the key a half step so that I’m not reaching so hard for the high notes.



Bach’s mass in B Minor. A welcome aural consolation prize after my own thwarted Sunday evening demo session.



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



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.
