Lionel thinks it’s a funny book. So do I. Enjoy it with a a song I arranged strings and conducted by @sheleamusic produced by @davynathan Thanks to all the fine string players who made this sound so good!

I voted!!! And I got a new mandolin (tho not the one I’m playing in this song co-wrote and produced with @leahzeger Can’t wait till the election is over.

Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead passed away. Big influence on me and my music for sure. I got to play with him once at Ashkenaz in Berkeley in the mid 90’s with @dgans53. It was his first time playing after Garcia died. For me it was awesome playing with this guy I had seen play over 100 times. And he couldn’t have been more encouraging or nicer to a young up and coming player. Thank you Phil for your lifetime dedication to spreading music and love in the world.

Foggy day in The Valley
