I think it’s been around 5 - 7 years since I played songs on a stage. I say “I think” because I don’t remember playing on a stage when Trump was President, and I certainly haven’t played since I got married. Did I mention I got married?
So Jill Rogers, my fabulous friend who heads up the alt retro country band Crying Time, says to me hey whatdya say let’s do something. You me and Val Esway (another longtime songstress friend) she says. We could just trade songs, super simple. Like a song circle? i say. Can we sit on comfy couches? Maybe just mic the room? That’s probably about all I could handle, having not really played at all, not like the two of you who are still well seasoned performers, i say. Sure, Jill says. We can do that. Let’s do that.
And so we are.
Even though Covid. Even though Ukraine. Even though gas prices and microchip shortages and inflation and glaciers melting and attempts to overthrow elections.
That’s all I got.
