You want to see Real #musiclife? Here. #Glamour. I have a load of laundry drying, a bunch of contracts on the shelf to file, a box and a bag to unpack, mic stands to stab myself with, and I can't fit both of these guitars in the closet right now. (Oh, come to the Bob Dylan Bash at Filament Theatre, Chicago, 8pm) 💟

Flowers from last night's birthday party gig at Antique Taco. So lovely.

The glamour of car maintenance and safety. When you have a dream about your tire blowing out, discover it really IS about to die, and you're driving to the Farm Hinterlands to play a show the next day. #touring #indie #thankyoudream (at Costco)

I played the Washington Street Market today in Naperville. Had such a blast, I once again forgot to take a photo. But here's a picture of some fancy gluten free pretzel and chocolate covered toffee I bought. 😸

Saturday

You want to write a song, but your neighbors are upstairs throwing furniture and marbles and children and loud Russian phrases around, and you don't want to channel your aggravation about that because you already wrote a song about it, and besides, if you write another one, you'll have to release an album called Rushin' Stomp or something, and that sounds like some kind of country mix they'd play during a marathon, which is super misleading.

"It's hard to listen in February, the wind is so darn loud. By the time the sun goes down, you're tired of the sound." Wrote a new song today: https://youtu.be/VRb6_mOEDsw

Happy socks without shoes. We worked until 2am last night, so ... #lazysunday #reading

Once again, I only remember to take a photo after the event. But it was a hoppin' basement party! And nope, no filter needed. Thank you, Vernon Hills, IL, goodnight. 💖
