Live Recordings from Boog City Fest

Just found out there are some live recordings of myself and friends from the Welcome to Boog City festival. You can get all the recordings here: Welcome to Boog City audio page.

Here’s a recording of Preston and I playing a Lou Reed song. For fun, we switched it up such that Preston played guitar, and I played keyboard.

I saw Phoebe perform tonight with the Phyllis Newman Health Initiative Dancers. It was inspiring. I have not performed solo this month: taking a break to work on my new record.

I try not to feel stressed out. Which seems stupid to say, but I know plenty of folks who stress themselves out. I have been feeling stressed this week. Friday I’m playing some songs for the Boog City tribute to Hair. I feel totally overwhelmed by the songs due to their length and content.

It’s been fun learning the songs though. The chords remind me of things that I used to try more with guitar. I used to try to use chords that I wouldn’t play normally – it helped teach me chords and get more interesting (or at least unusual) sounds. I feel like recently I haven’t been doing enough of that, so I feel inspired by the music for these songs. Changes happen that I don’t really expect, and it feels good.

Everything seems to be calming and changing. I suppose that’s always the case, isn’t it?
