What’s the DI version of Duck Duck Goose? Felix, felix, felix, Fishman! The Grace DIs are everywhere in Colorado. Played at Etown in Boulder yesterday with some top notch pickers, and tonight I’ll be at The Rock Garden in Lyons with Lost Penny

Ain’t From Here up to mischief! Our latest single drops in 3 days. Super excited for it to come out, though I wish it wasn’t as relevant as it is - written by a survivor of the Joplin tornado in 2011.

Recording friendo. I love the technical challenge of session work - all kinds of different songs, styles, gear, people, and places… and the occasional 4-footed helpers. #studiomusician #sessionwork #uprightbass #womeninmusic

Airlines vs Instruments Survey Turn data collection into an experience with Typeform. Create beautiful online forms, surveys, quizzes, and so much more. Try it for FREE.

Do you play #bluegrass, #folk or #acoustic music and fly? Folks are collecting info on our impact on airlines so we can push back against them forcing us to check our instruments - which is against a federal law. Here’s the anonymous survey. www.bit.ly/instrumentsonflights

Special Consensus - Been All Around This World bass line
YouTube video by TheLizardBass Special Consensus - Been All Around This World bass line

Fresh #SpecialConsensus ? Of course within 48 hours I’ve got @whutda.bsky.social’s bass line transcribed, and about half learned! 🀦 I’d say I need a life, but I have one - this is procras-ductivity.

#Ain’tFromHere ’s stable of gitfiddles. Setting up to play a private party. Feels good to be back in the saddle of regular shows with a 5-piece band. I’m weird and *like* load in/load out. #touringmusicians #womeninmusic #bluedirtcountry

Should have talked about this gig on here, still getting used to having a Bluesky account. My office last night - last minute gig at Tom Davis in Loveland, with Ain’t From Here. Good times.

I don’t know *who* needs to see this, but I’m pretty sure someone does. Now, I’m to go be radical and *read a book* - le gasp!

#Photography is a great way to make friends at music festivals. It’s a fun fidget toy, and as a musician I can better predict how the performers will move. And the better I know them personally the easier it is to catch those really expressive moments.

Yep! One of several pleasant surprises. I didn’t realize Barry Bales was playing bass with Woodbox Heroes, and Anne Luna and Steve Smith played with KC this morning.

I heard some rustling in the corner, and turn around to find Jester had crawled IN the pot with my gooseberry start. 🀦 This is why I’m not doing much seed starting - trying to keep the cats out of the seedlings is a losing battle. #cats #gardening

Caturday mayhem. Finally installed the supports for the #CatastrophicCreations cat wall stuff. The metal studs in the basement aren’t much better than cardboard - hence the reinforcement.

Fantastic to see so many people show up at the #colorado50501 protest. Had to leave fairly early, interested to hear the final tally. I got lots of video too. Tomorrow may be a video editing day.

Maybe we should take a tack more like β€œScience fiction/fantasy” book sections, or Metal music - have a folk/americana over-arching genre, split into more β€œeasy listening” americana, pop country, outlaw country, oldies (60s through 90s), bluegrass, folk, etc. shuffle as widely or narrowly as you like
