Great show Thursday night at World Cafe. I really enjoy your music and creative presence. Very smooth. Sorry for asking you to autograph my chest. Keep me in the loop :)

i don’t know whether my hands are the marrying kind,
but they have settled into the curve of you (the
two rivers between your shoulder blades)
guided by running water, my wandering heart
they walk to the narrow places
they press, and
, trace some other time
not knowing the hour, or the distance
only your touch, only the sweet softness
of your fingertips, your twilight breathing
only the light, only the lengthening
of blue shadows and black sky
slow as the gathering fog
a thousand mirrors of a single light
still as the snow that buries time
, my cradle in the longest night
i will rest a little longer at your side
On a wayward voicemail
Last week the show “More American Photographs” opened at the CCA Wattis Institute in San Francisco. Inspired by the Depression-era Farm Security Administration’s photography program, which commissioned photographers to document the rural poor of America in the late thirties and early forties, the curators Jens Hoffmann and Jana Blankenship commissioned twelve contemporary artists to travel the U.S. for a year and document the impact of today’s “great recession.”

Before we write anything else, we need to send some serious love to Mal, who had to stay on the east coast this week. She’s holding down the fort: handling van issues, teaching the kiddies and otherwise being the band momma. We miss you!
It’s a little surreal to be returning to the same cities…
