Time distortion. 30 minutes is a LONG time to attempt to teach ukulele to a (sweet and well behaved) 5-year-old with a normal 5-year-attention span.

If you like moody jazz, old James Bond movies, murder ballads, and southern folklore, maybe The Secret Sounds is your new favorite band.

Here’s a little picture of St. Expedite I drew after I had an unexpected bit of money to pay for my son’s Summer camp. I also had a dented rear bumper. Nothing is free.

Print it out and stick it to your own candle!

I got a preview of new music from Chris McKay, who was a bandmate 35-ish years ago.

I’m constantly amazed that some of the best art in the world right now is being made by my friends.

A few things that leveled up my jazz (guitar) improvisation:

Not scales, but every note is a chord tone or a passing tone/approach note.

Every note has a vibe that changes over every chord.

Melodies create and resolve tension.

Phrasing is more important than note choice.

Two things that leveled up my tarot chops:

Reading with only the 22 cards from the Major Arcana (this is how it was done before the RWS was published).

Reading with a regular deck of playing cards.

The game I’m working on now is Evergreen. I ran it at Dreamation earlier this year. Think The Descent makes out with The VVitch at Lilith Fair.

Evergreen is a PbtA survival horror game where you play as a young woman whose camping trip takes a turn for the worst.
