If you are feeling overwhelmed, it makes perfect sense. I want to once again offer that it's so much better to immerse yourself in only one or two things. Follow the news about just those focus areas. Importantly find concrete small actions to take in those specific areas. Key is consistency.

We are grieving the recent passing of the pioneering pedal steel player Susan Alcorn. Susan took pedal steel far beyond its traditional roles. After years in country/western bands, she expanded the vocabulary of her instrument through 20th century music, visionary jazz, and world musics.

As subscription rates in the US for Spotify go up, artist payment rates go down. We need the Living Wage for Musicians Act, which would guarantee direct, fair payment to artists! Under the LWFMA, any increased subscription rate would increase artists’ pay.

Earlier this month, we lost trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer Herb Robertson (1951-2024). His sound was marked by as much by a sensitive lyricism as it was by a curiosity-driven experimentalism. He will be missed.

I don't have a problem with Biden pardoning his kid per se, but as one of his last acts in office, I do find it profoundly depressing. It's so small and desperate. As president, there is so much he could have done, could still do. What a failure of courage. What a failure of imagination

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

More showing and less telling, please. Most people actually do not know what to do because the world is complex and people are just trying to survive. More showing through actual examples. More invitations to people to join in. This is more important than ever.
