This week’s pajamas: Maybe I’ll wear them...

Good Good Man - the CD - streaming all platforms, even get it from me...

Private Webcast/Public Houseparty Things/6 Feet Away Lawn Shows - The lawn show thing needs to be in my geographic area, close enough that I can get there and back home in my car. Pooping is an issue, and sure, I can pee in an empty Odwalla juice jar. Max social distancing protocols will be adhered to. Still, I have 2-3 of these locally coming up, you can do it too. Reasonable rates.
Coaching of songwriting, performance & voice, (SURE - BY SKYPE, FACETIME, OR ZOOM)
available upon request - Wednesdays are pretty full, Thursdays are kinda open.

————————————————————————————

Briefly, this.

I have a new songwriting coaching client, an old friend, Ed. We started our session Thursday talking about influences. And he told me this story:

“I had gone to Nashville to catch Jason Isbell at the Ryman Auditorium. I went early afternoon to the stage door to see if I could catch Jason as he was coming in or out. I got lucky. We started talking about recovery and music. I spoke of a few musicians I admired and I mentioned your name. As soon as I said ‘Vance Gilbert’, his eyes lit up and he said 'Unfamiliar Moon!’ “

I pretty much don’t remember anything else this student said for the rest of the session. I should probably return his money.
