Strawberry Suicide

Been quiet in the tour update front cause I’ve been BUSY. Wow. Rehearsing for this big Paul McCartney concert im doing with Tim Christensen and Tracy Bonham at the Vega. Sold out show in front of 1,500 people we are performing RAM in its entirety. Obsessive. Bordering on D and D, civil war reenactments. Yeah it is. Lvmv

Oldies

Old couple sitting at an airport cafe. Arguing. Really old. Old argument I imagine. I wonder what kind of fate led them here to this bickering moment. About to fly. Really high in the air above war torn countries. Above different Gods. Different demons. I just get sad thinking of their discussion as I try not to listen my imagination fills in the gaps. Suduko. Acrostic. Word Search. Dull distractions to save the mind from drifting in old age so you can keep your argument on its toes. How bout a kiss across the table. Of course I’m worse than they are right? Spending my time in their shit. Hilarious world.

Me by the sea!

Me by the sea!

This is the venue…. 
Playing my first solo show tonight in Copenhagen. Hopenhagen. No Jokenhagen. If there is piano I’m dragging out the ivory tunes. 

Lolling at the gate. Had to deplane cause something hit the aircraft. Ugh.., the plane is damaged. 

Here at gig now. Little cafe on the sea. Remember that scene in the Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond where he bolts from Hollywood to find himself and he ends up playing these little shit holes, grows a beard and kicks some honkey tonk ass? Well, this is nothing like that. This is idyllic and oddly ideal for my musical trappings (the traps I’ve set in my music. Ha!). 
I imagine playing here in 40 minutes. Makin it all come true people. 

And there IS a piano!
