real quick because i am tired like the dead. work today was meh. i was distracted by art chirping in my ear and asking me to leave to go play.
i got there very early and so left accordingly to go play my accordion. after all there is a show on sunday. :) practice was beyond amazing. and i got home, ate with the wife, called back the east bay pal and laughed so fucking hard. he and i are starting a side project of civil war era folk songs. the sort of thing you woulda heard in a saloon out west in the mid to late 1800s. good times. and vagabondage may have a recording session soon. my lord could i have two albums out by fall? my life feels surreal. meanwhile back at the ranch a crafting project is underway, a painting is forming in my head, poems are kinda flirting with me and i have a big crush on my neko case and mark growden albums. sometimes this happens. i see a show and recrush on music and art and life and love all over again. hi i am five. it's awesome.
today during band practice at the park a small boy was so fascinated by the accordion. he couldn't stop looking. he looked like me at last weeks show but our roles were reversed. at one point he came up the steps and was looking so close at the keys. i smiled and nodded and he helped play along. it was awesome to see that look of wonder on his face. he MADE that noise. so good.
also while we were there the wind kept knocking down the cherry blossoms on the trees like it was snowing. so gorgeous. so so good.
i have some sad in some places but today was a total gift.
