chimney smoke

despite the challenges of these times i give thanks for an amazing year.
lots of good people along the way.
some we've known a long time, some we've just met,
and many we knew long ago who have somehow found us again.
the feedback has been wonderfully uplifting,
one of the things that keeps me on this path.
being a part of the ever evolving animal that is BROTHER is a trip in itself.
i've enjoyed the continuing focusing of the sound and show with the fellas.
we are 3 different and quirky individuals but we like each others' company.
and the vision is shared.
here's to our last show for this year!
back at the coach house for the 'out from under' release party.
and back on stage with brother jack. another quirky individual.
i give thanks for being able to make some music with him again too.
and i give thanks too for my amazing little family, soon to be a little larger.
the best paradigm shift ever.
and thanks to you all for a great year.
long may your chimney smoke ...

blown again

misty cold weather here in southern oregon.
warms the cockles of my celtic heart.
good to be home again, tho only for a couple more days.
far flung florida next. sun to spare there.
we played dunedin with brother hamish years ago.
the memories are good. of the people and the place ...

every time i return home asa is more a person.
bigger stronger faster. cheekier and funnier.
and i am always more enthralled.
by him. by the process.
and now he is to be a big brother.
he doesn't really get it yet
but we certainly do.
i know it will be similar
and yet different in so many ways too.
and so the world will turn.
and our minds will be quietly(or not so quietly) blown again ...

anxious to have that rascal drewski living here.
somehow we've managed to keep the BROTHER beast breathing,
across the years, across continents, across seas.
but it is always easier to move quickly when we're closer.
seems he will drive across the country early in the new year.
here's to a safe journey mate.
