    me and Ben Freed jamming on one of his original songs at the Valhalla open mike, April 9, 2023. I’m using my new harmonica and it’s the first time in too many years I’ve blown a harp in public.

    a tallish man, with long brown hair and beard, and wearing a straw porkpie hat strums a beautiful guitar and sings. next to him is a short gent, wearing a straw boater hat. he’s playing a harmonica.

    you know, it occurs to me that I forgot to credit Denise M for the photograph.

    will she ever see this post? probably not.

    will she actually give the tiniest fuck about not being credited? nope.

    her husband hosts the open mike and she takes photos to be a part of the family scene there.

    last night was Hunter’s birthday. I don’t know where in the hierarchy of the place he fits, but I do know that if you miss a week or two he greets you with a hug and says, “Welcome home.”

    @rafial

    thanks! they’re Kiziks, specifically designed so you can just slip into them while standing. perfect for fat old men who aren’t comfortable folding themselves in half to tie their shoes.

    now half the time they remind me of Elvis Costello and the half the time I think about David Bowie.
