Hello to you all in these swiftly tilting of the axis times!
Even though it’s becoming warmer around here and the Boing of Spring is nearly here in the Northern Hemisphere that sure feels good, and even though nearly a third of the year has already slipped by, and the trillium in my yard have just poked their green heads out of the ground (always a good sign) and even though I’m not sure which winter projects will see the light of day in this Water Rabbit Year, thanks to the encouragement of many folks, I'm finally getting around to celebrate my newest recording with live performance in several places around the south Willamette Valley this month and next.
And even though many folks don’t look at their email much anymore or have CD players or record players or ipods, and even though I am not a big fan of Spotify or other digital platforms that are not big fans of supporting artists who make music, this new disc is available as both a physical CD and streamable and downloadable through my Bandcamp page It is called OsculEARiosophy (it really is not difficult to say) and there are many other recorded delights there too.
QTN LIVE IN MARCH AND APRIL
• WORDLESS GUITAR ALTERNATING MONDAYS IN MARCH AND APRIL AT SAM BOND’S GARAGE, 6:30 pm –
Sam Bond’s is continuing its long tradition of Monday night pre-bingo
music that Richard Crandell began and played for nearly a quarter of a
century. Since he isn’t around to play live anymore, I get to play
Wordless Guitar alternating weeks with the piano music of Ty Connor.

All for now. It’s getting light later as the days are lengthening at last. The sound of photosynthesis is everywhere and always has been even way before there was an album by that name. Breathe deep this incredible place we call home. Even though the challenges and vexations are many, the only thing to atmosphere is sphere itself.
Your corn forest pundit,
