hear ye a message to you my friend voices cry invoke your angels when pressure drop it cannot conquer dread no so blow away your bluesy feeling spirits say take the world off you shoulder one foot in the grave is a foolish step to take #steelpulse #chantapsalm missing this lil bruiser, his facial expressions & his energy as I knock out a couple shows here down south (willie nelson! the gipsy kings! rick springfield!) & Ill be home tonight at 2am-ish for an evening & a day before knocking out a couple more shows (roger daltrey! jerry lee lewis! amos lee!) before being home for an evening & a day before knocking out a few more shows (ziggy marley & steel pulse & tribal seeds! buddy guy & john mayall! joan jett & the blackhearts!) before being home for two days ... one to prepare for brixton's 2nd birthday & one to celebrate his 2nd birthday the day of. my son is going to be two & I still can't even believe I even have a son. today life is full. I used to drag myself thru full days where I literally did nothing except get loaded & drool on myself while meandering in&out of the present. years ago when I trekked across the country hitchhiking & train hopping on the coattails of my addiction to miami's coconut grove where I busked endlessly between whisking my spirit thru collapsing houses. at one ghetto squat the matron feared I was overdosing & she insisted I walk in circles around the room & I walked with my eyes closed on the nod in & out of conversations with myself until I hit a wall & turned to walk to hit another wall. on the street a fellow with a steel pulse laminate stopped to chop it up about music with me & my guitar ophelia; for 8 years Ive wanted to thank him for treating me like a person instead of like a gutted animal that day - if he still tours with them, on august 14th I'll have that chance xox #violentfemmes #hitchhiking #trainhopping #ontheroad #onstage #ontour #livemusic #concertphotographer #tourphotographer #workingmom #toddlerlife #wildandfreechildren #toddlerontheloose #toddlerbreastfeeding #toddlermom #punksgoneparent #ourcandidlife #thehappynow #sobermom #cleanandsober #giftsofrecovery #soberaf #justfortoday #odaat #wedorecover
