about

Thursday, March 16th, 2023: A sickening shock when it was discovered I had left my Mac Mini 366 miles away in Fredericksburg.
I almost cried.
With only my Model 12 and my phone, I played a set.
I could have ragequit, walked out, and not played.
I did not. "Fuck it, We Ball', as they say.
By round of applause, I think I did good.

"230316" is the A side. Performed live at the Hideaway in Johnson City, Tennessee on March 16st, 2023

B side of this release is probably the final version of "Troubled Skies", the piece I have been doing live since 2018. Performed 09/22/22 at Spacycloud Lounge in Washington, DC. Probably the last version I will perform for a while.

A great deal of thanks to the JCTN crew for your support.
A further great deal of thanks to the JJE NOVA contingent
