  I haven’t released anything new in a while, but there may be some of you who haven’t heard The Elevator Clown. It’s one my favorites from Carbon 7. This was totally spontaneous. Ron started a thing on the keyboard and Dennis and I just responded. #BandcampFriday https://carbon7.bandcamp.com/track/the-elevator-clown

  I made a special list in Ivory of just the people I interact with here - mutuals mostly, and all the beige kool kids, so that I could keep up a bit more easily. Reader, I cannot keep up.

  I wasn’t raised by nice people. I wasn’t raised to be nice or pleasant. I have had to figure this out on my own, and I have had to invent “nice” Chris on the fly. It’s an understatement to say this has been slow going. But I’ve been reading a great big thick David Bowie biography and the thing that keeps coming up is how polite and caring and concerned he was for the people around him, and just how pleasant he was to be around, and how it really affected people. I went out to play a gig tonigh...

  I had not seen my cousin in 32 years until today, and we talked for 3 hours over lunch. She was a journalist/state editor at the Oregonian and an article she worked on as editor was nominated for a Pulitzer in 2015. I think we kinda look alike!

  Today July 9th was my friend Lisa’s birthday. She would have been 64. We fell madly in love at age 12, and had a pubescent romance until my family moved back to San Francisco a year later. We stayed in touch though throughout the years and both eventually ended up in Austin. We had children the same age, and were in similar lines of work- she was a designer and editor & I designed and printed things… 7 or 8 years ago she moved to New Mexico and we mostly stayed In touch via text, until I...
