I’m doing some experimentation, this year, with cosmic rhythms… By which I do not mean taiko drumming or the percussive works of Milford Graves, but rather the movements of the Earth as per the Sun. (We in the Snoose Junction collective are sun worshippers, as you may recall…)

So it worked out that I played my first show of the year on January 31, 2009 - right before Groundhog’s day, which puts us with in a stone’s throw of Imbolc, a so-called Celtic cross-quarter day which falls halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox… And if you know what those are, you’ll understand what that means… in terms of Where We Are.

We are also within a slightly longer stone’s throw of the lunar new year, aka Chinese New Year, which is to say: Happy Year Of The Ox!

So energies are high, and they are all around us. In my case, they are taking the form of an acoustic show at C&D’s Welcome Cafe in Redondo Beach. It’s low fidelity, but you’ll get the sense of it. You can hear it at this place:

…and here are pictures:

It is my intention to continue posting shows on archive.org … so if you’re into that, you can keep up with it. I will do my best to make them all different, and all worthwhile. In case you’re into that.

Thanks to those who were there and dug it. I dug it right back atcha. And here’s to many more.

love and good luck
