The trick if you canāt get the range for this @nathan.evans.fox song is to just remember that āLife Gits Teediusā by Doc Watson exists and is awesome.
This is my new theme song for the winter.
2025 People, places and things Pt.2
Thatās all folks. Iām gonna go out on a limb here and say many of us need the rest and reset that the winter brings.
Happy holidays.

2025, people, places and things Pt.1
Last job of 2025 is in the can. As always looking back on the year, all I can think about are the wonderful people Iām surrounded by that make the jobs fly by. Without the wonderful DPās that hire me, sparks and best electrics that keep it all running, key grips and their teams, these jobs just wouldnāt happen.
As always, this job is all about the people.
Without my wonderful partner @tevtevlin holding it down at home, while I point lights at things, I wouldnāt get to do so many awesome things. I always promise to bring you home craft service snacks.
Highlight of my year was getting sing at my late dadās old bandās 60th anniversary concert @hughsroomlive .
Iāve gotta split up my year end posts into a few parts so I can fit all these wonderful people and places in.

Making that frame everyone has been asking me about. Legitimately took me an hour and a bit cause this vinyl window cling is so hard to work with. Part two out tomorrow with tests. Thanks @de_con & @isaacmccord for letting me steal this idea. You can buy some of this window cling here- https://amzn.to/4qhLByP
