No worries, I know show place

Would you consider listing Baltimore shows on the heavier or weirder side? Aka metal and experimental.

The Endless Potential Of The Pedal Steel Guitar, An Odd Duck By Any Measure The pedal steel guitar is, for many, inextricable from its roots in country music — but its well runs much deeper than providing some smooth twang.

Susan Alcorn's passing reminded me of this story from 2020.

"I don't think you can overstate the importance of the fact that, when you ask who's pushing the instrument forward, the answer is there are these two women — Susan Alcorn and Heather Leigh." -Chuck Johnson www.npr.org/2020/01/07/7...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

RIP David Lynch. While I only love about half of his work, I hugely admire both the work and the man himself. Both an eternal child and a fearless artist who took risks and didn't much care if the result wasn't everybody's jam. One of the greats. youtu.be/qYPW3O6VhXo?...
