Home Is Where the Heart Is.
We. Are. Californians. Well…we WILL be. As soon as the Craigslist Gods say that it is so. Housing unavailability aside, we consider ourselves HOME and we have plenty of upcoming Bay Area gigs to help us plant our roots: Saturday, March 23rd: Winemaker’s Pourhouse. Livermore. 6:30-9:30pm. Duo. This is a small wine bar full … Continue reading
The Merry Year is Born…
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn. –Hartley Coleridge It’s that time of year. You can put the past behind you and just look forward with optimism. We do so with smiles on our faces; the last year was something we don’t wish to simply bury. For us it was a year of … Continue reading
San Francisco, by way of Montana and Arizona
Hello Friends, We hope this fall has been treating you well and offering up an abundance of cheer. We are happy to report we have landed in San Francisco after reaping the benefits of autumn holidays with friends. Apparently we’ve been having too much fun in the city to take pictures. It was the pork … Continue reading

I’m used to bars that have pool tables, maybe darts, and on a rare occasion, horse shoe pits. This one had beach volleyball. I tried to wrap my head around the combination of booze and highly physical … Continue reading

Notes from the Road #1
Hello Friends, We’re back on the road, currently in some super beautiful area outside of Austin, Texas. We are happy to be back in our natural state: our possessions are crammed into a sweaty storage unit, our podcasts and audio books are downloaded and queued, our hygiene is on an oddly graceful decline, and hopefully … Continue reading
A Seasonal Review in Pictures
When the snows come to northern Arizona, there is less shock and insult than when they come to, say, Montana, where one hardly feels one has gotten a fair share of the long-awaited summer months one deserves. Instead, the snow in Prescott, Arizona, falls in thick, soft flakes, and the courtyard square is decorated to … Continue reading
WELL, ART IS ART, ISN’T IT?
Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know. –Groucho Marx West is west and we’re headed West, young man! We have … Continue reading
