Today, I played with Frank and Mike, the drummer who introduced us more than ten years ago. This was the first time this trio has played together in more than six years, when we played at the Vermont Reggae Festival. It was a blast! Mike is one of my favorite drummers to play with. The outdoor gig started under threat of rain and ended in sunshine. It was a barbecue for a Charter school, and I really enjoyed the diversity of the audience (teachers, parents, students). 

It felt great. 

Tomorrow I'm driving Frank to Philadelphia where Black Uhuru (he's their lead guitarist for about thirty years) are starting a short East Coast tour.

I saw the band once before, at a festival (I don't remember any details, or Frank being in the band then - it was decades before I met him). I wish I didn't know about all the internal bullshit and squabbles, but I've seen a lot of video of the band playing live, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.

I have concerns about my car, but not much.

Saturday is the annual reunion with my Clearview friends. This will, without a doubt, include a bit of a memorial for Bobby Axelrod, who died last weekend. Still, looking forward to seeing my old friends.

Sunday? Well, we'll see.

Tomorrow's a travel day, so no blog post.

I am grateful for such an interesting life. Every moment.

  1. Thanks. I'm feeling pretty good these days. I've gotten some relief from my arthritic knee pain with a new therapy of CBD oil, full spectrum CBD/hemp pills and an extra-strength glucosamine-chondroitin-MSM pill. And still playing music regularly.
