Sublime eclectic mayhem. That’s been my playlist project and musical life, one that begins with The Muppet Movie soundtrack and later involves performing hymns, death metal, surf, and bluegrass. I’ve played in theaters, tents, and basements, for multi-stage festivals and squirrel rodeos. I’ve written and recorded music for The Drunken Odyssey. Sublime eclectic mayhem. A warning and a welcome for joyous noise, for those navigating what Beckett called “this bitch of an earth.”

Just a day
where everything 
seems vintage 
but us. 

We’re just older. 

Simple struggles,
like putting the goose
in the car 
without 
losing a feather. 

The windows 
let in plenty of light,
but it rarely gets inside.
