I have a new homepage banner! (Alas, I have the same ugly face)
I like the new banner so much, I’m having stickers made up to match (minus the aforementioned mug).
Get ‘em while they’re hot. Two for a dollar at my upcoming shows.

Well, I failed again. My goal for 2010 is to take a picture from the stage of each show I do, and so far, I’m 0-2. I forgot to even bring my camera to the Acadia on Friday night. Oh well.
Seriously… I will remember next time.
On a separate note, I ate lunch at Joe’s Garage near Loring Park in Minneapolis today and the food was excellent. Try it out.

Fun show last night at the Ginkgo. Great to have people come out and hear the music. I meant to take a picture of the audience from where I was sitting on stage, but forgot to do so. Oh well, I’ll try to remember to do it tonight at the Acadia Cafe. If I remember, I’ll post it here tomorrow.
Tonight I’ll be playing keyboards for the band Cosmoline. It should be a great show.
So, if you want to claim a small measure of internet fame (a very, very small measure), you can show up at the Acadia Cafe tonight in Minneapolis and have your picture taken by me from the stage.
The music gets rolling around 8pm. I think we go on at 9pm.
Cheers,

I’m just reminding everyone that on Thursday night, I’m playing a show at the Ginkgo Coffeehouse on Snelling Avenue, right in my hometown of St. Paul, MN.
You can find them here: ginkgocoffee.com
The show starts at 7:30pm. Come at 7pm. Drink coffee. Eat a scone. Listen to live music.
Exciting notes: I cut my hair for the show. The Spring buzz-cut has arrived. The Ginkgo has a real, honest-to-goodness piano. They seem to be harder and harder to find these days.
See you there,

It’s on days like this (spreadsheet, spreadsheet, flow chart, meeting, flow chart, spreadsheet, meeting) that I like to think about Charles Ives, who spent his working life as an insurance executive and used his free-time to compose his music.
For all those musicians out there doubling up with a day job… remember, Ives did it, so can we.
