"just when the thought occurs, the panic will pass..."

well, certainly a lot has happened since my last post. Our dear friend, music guru, artist, indie psychologist has suffered a massive heart attack... kids have gotten older, wiser... parents have gotten dumber, more resilient... and the world keeps turnin', spitting out bile like a drug... thank god for like-minded souls, continued connections -- however few and far between -- it always feels like yesterday when we meet up again... recalibration and recharging the batteries of those in tune with humanness is never too late... love to everyone I know !

Dig: (meaning, I have listened to, purchased, spent some time with these 'new' releases/ reissues, which you can find on bandcamp, youtube and blogs...):
