Walk Of Life

 

I turned another year older this month. My partner and I went to Fitzwilly's and had a casual but fun time together. I had a few more shows to play after I finished my caroling gigs, and now the weather is back in the mild 50s, so I went for another of my many walks.

It's truly a beautiful world we live in, and I try to remind myself of that every time I step out and do my usual mile or so stroll. It gives me peace of mind and a little time to stay living in the moment. Important to remember as we trudge through winter and into another new year brimming with uncertainties around the world. 

It's Only Talk

 We saw some great concerts this past year, as we often seem to do. This time around was especially memorable.

 Pixies in Mansfield (I will always call this place Great Woods) Seeing The Pixies play in Massachusetts is the best way.

Pretenders at Tanglewood (My personal favorite, as Chrissie Hynde has piled up a huge amount of great songs. She didn't even play "Brass in Pocket" which is arguably her biggest hit. Didn't matter)

 Violent Femmes  at the Pines Theater Florence, MA (the show I saw most of my friends at, and one of  the closet to home)

PJ Harvey in Boston (great show, but a traffic/parking nightmare... thanks alot, Post Malone!)

Soul Coughing in Boston (took the train in this time!)

 

Beat: The '80s King Crimson Tribute in Hartford. (surprise second favorite concert, back in the city I saw my first rock concerts)

Might As Well Sing

 

Storrowton Tavern 2024

18 years of singing Christmas Carols with one of the people who had been at it way before I started. 

(it may have been one of her first jobs ever)

Life goes on, and people do different things with their lives, but friends stay friends and after several years, we performed at the Storrowton Tavern in West Springfield, MA where it all started. I only have one more show here for the year, so this was a one off, but I always enjoy coming back, and making people smile during the holidays.
