Recorded and comped two more vocal tracks today (pats self on back). Now lunch. And then this evening a friend's band is playing in a local park. The fun never stops around here.

Recording vocals this morning. My vocals, for a change. Getting back to work on the next release. Don't ask me about when it'll drop; the plan is still for sometime this Fall.
I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!

My friend Tom is driving over from Albany to be at tonight's gig. I have know Tom since I was THREE YEARS OLD. We don't see each other that often anymore, but we've remained pals. And yes, he's gonna get pressed into roadie service. Our PA isn't gonna carry itself.
Feel like storming the Bastille? Look around. Still a few left.
Rehearsal tonight, gig this Wednesday. Psyched for both.
I dunno, maybe some of you will be in #WesternMass this week and looking to catch three old guys playing for the neighbors.
The news this morning is a good reminder to live a life in such a way that people will not be untroubled to learn that you have died.
I have no doubt that some of you will share in my ABSOLUTE DELIGHT that the weekend is upon us.
As always, RECOMMENDED:
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 4w agoI've taken the paywall off this short story I wrote about a rather unique bookshop owner. I hope a few of you find the time to read it: www.tom-cox.com/old-litkinov... If you like it you might like my new book, which I'm publishing in September in collaboration with @breakthroughbook.bsky.social.
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.
Maine could really use its own version of Count Binface right about now.

I'd like to wish Ringo a happy 86th birthday today. But I don't have his number. If any of you see him, give him my best.
