It’s 2024 and I’m driving across the country alone.
I’m white-knuckling it through Texas.
This song begins to form.
Thanks to my creative partners @richjacques@jessebergometer and @nothinmyst for bringing it to life in ways I never would have imagined in that mid-Texas hotel.
Link in bio, best experienced on my Substack and YouTube but I cut it down for our attention spans and added words for our modern age.
I hope it finds you on your own desert drive tonight. 🏜️ 🌖

A couple days ago, musical hero @davemason stepped off and there he goes.. desert island music. Got to know him a bit around Ojai and producing him on a track with @thekennyloggins and he later blessed me with the opportunity to record some drums for him.. some great whiskey-soaked hangs before he moved to Nevada. Got to play organ with him live one time.. massive pleasures of my musical life. Thank you Dave.. leaving behind a musically richer world. Best to the folks, JS #davemason #alonetogether one of the most perfect drum tracks on this song by Jim Gordon
