I've always been a renegade when it comes to this music. Unconventional. Always going to the edge. Then trusting the wind to carry me when I step off of it.
Fatherhood and caretaker life has tremendously slowed my jam session appearances, but I'll forever cherish the musical comraderie and the sonic kindredship of these types of nights. The opportunity to share these conversations with some of my favorite Earth citizens in thr spirit of spontaneity is a pleasure, a privilege, and it's own reward...

A snippet from "Photosinthesizer" off my upcoming project "Photosynthesis For Late Bloomers." An EP that most of you didn't ask for. But hey... Like your beer bellied uncle at Thanksgiving, It's coming..

So I may or may not have been drinking. But I was playing a Modello bottle solo over the Bassline of "Night and Day" by AL B. Sure. And it was jammin like a mofo. 😄😄😄
Big love to @divinewiz_official for capturing this.
@kellymccartymusic on Bass
@jmarzwurld on Drums.
I'll be back there on June 18th.
These days, things are heavier than a planet on planet Earth. But we can still smile a little because it's Stevie Wonder day. #wonderlove.
That is all... #happybirthdaysteviewonder
A few years ago, my mother planted this rose shrub on the side of the house. It blooms every other year. This year, it decided to bloom just in time for Mother's Day.
Thank you mom. I miss you every day. ⚘️⚘️🌹🌹🌹
