No crazy stories today, I'm simultaneously working on this and some Great American Songbook scouring (Hey, "Yiddishe Momme" counts… dammit, my cutoff is 1924 and it was written in '25). Y'know, that sort of shit of being the contractor/arranger where if I were getting paid better maybe I'd take an

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0eeotSDi8 I promise I did not crash again, either in the Snowmageddonpocalypse that didn't drop any snow on the city (just north, like the snow game we saw in Foxboro) or the intense winds last night. No, this is to make fun of my… pottery skills! Or lack thereof, since I had

So, as we mentioned last week, Christmas Eve, or Gigsmas. A time to play all the things. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you have multiple all the things to play, which is to say give your local church organist a hug and/or the beverage of their choice (okay, I got my

Hermana Weaselo was supposed to come over Thursday morning and we were going to make the meats together, with Madre Weaselo's general recipe. But then she wasn't feeling great, so she had to back out and wait to come with the rest of the family Weaselo. And I have

We survived the short work week! (Okay, fine, I'm on a gig as of publishing time.) A long football weekend awaits, though I apologize in advance for the pending Tim Boyle Experience™. (I tried to find a reference for this and got back into a Sam & Fuzzy kick, and still

It was my birthday Monday, so I guess we're doing one of those kinds of posts. (It was also The Maestro's birthday Monday, confirming the ol' "How many people does it take for two people to share the same birthday?" thought question.) So with that and my new age, it's
