I was intending to release this song as a single but decided to do "Apothecary" instead. Downside is this one has barely any streams on it. It's a shame, because I think it's a pretty good one. I wrote it the day after John Prine passed:
open.spotify.com/track/3VqUY2...

Singing some songs at Blind Corner/Go Brewing in Naperville this Sunday afternoon, 11/9. We can watch the end of the Bears game together. Hopefully it’ll be less stressful than the last one 🐻⬇️

“Apothecary” is a year and almost a month old and I appreciate everybody who’s been streaming it recently. Share it with your friends and head to my website for a physical copy!

Got a new batch of QR code stickers from the beautiful people at @stickerjunkie.bsky.social. These are perfect for venue bathroom walls and the occasional lamppost. They’re also much nicer than the ones I used to get from a problematic hot sauce company.

This song is not remotely explicit, and I'm far from puritanical, but I was hesitant to sing it live, let alone record it, because I felt like nobody would want to hear me of all people sing a song that references sex even in a roundabout way.
