Wrote some weird songs. Went to San Francisco and played some of my weird songs with some weird bands. Went to Seattle and discovered rain. Wrote some rainy songs. Joined some bands, started some bands, then went around the united states in vans, trucks, and busses. Wrote a lot more songs. Lately, I'm in Eastern Washington, playing bluesy rock, and rocky blues, with a bunch of overly qualified brotherly musicians. We do pretty good.
