Just finished a long St. Patrick’s Day gig at a bar. Somewhat inebriated patron called for us to play “Loch Lomond.”

Me: you know that’s Scottish, right?

Drunk guy: I’ll tip you $20 each if you play it!

Me: “Oh ye bonnie, bonnie banks, and ye bonnie, bonnie braes…”

This week, the exhibition I worked on with artists Sara Mast and Kevin Tracy at Echo Arts in Bozeman, Montana is coming to a close. So, without further ado, here's a copy of the sound and video installation for posterity, in glorious binaural audio. Enjoy!

Did some mic surgery today replacing a shattered grille. Pretty sure someone had dropped an amp on it…

Love how random festivals seem to be. Accepted to one, rejected from another. Same piece…

From what I've observed, people who claim that LLMs can replace artists don't understand art, people who claim that they can replace musicians don't understand music, people who claim that they can replace writers don't understand literature, and people who claim they can replace translators don't rely on translations. If I had a button that would erase LLMs from the world but it would take machine translations away (which is a false dichotomy anyway), I would absolutely still press it.

So Sheehy gets tax credits for solar, but votes to cut it for everyone else? Yet another reason why he should resign in disgrace. #MontanaDeservesBetter

Senator mocked ‘green energy crap.’ His house runs on it.

Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.

Great practice session looking at rep for a solo mandolin recital: Bach C Major Fugue, Calace’s Prelude No. 3, Kioulaphides’ De Grote Markt, and my solo Sonata. The big question will be if I can get Ysaÿe’s Obsession Sonata ready as well…
