Good Skiing



It's been a great, and exhausting few days climbing big mountains and finding fun snow.
Here's some images from the good times.

da Pow!


Well....
i'm back home and wouldn't ya know it, the skiing's GOOD.
REALLY GOOD.

Lots of snow on everything. The White Mountains look amazing. The Glass Mountains are covered, the Sierra is solid down to the highway around mammoth, and down lower than usual the rest of the way south...EVERYTHING's IN.

So here's a video clip of a friend enjoying the delights of just another day in the Eastern Sierra.


Other than good skiing, let's see...Joe Craven, of Garcia Grisman and the David Grisman Quintet not to mention numerous solo and joint projects with others, was in town and gave a "playshop" down in Bishop at the Inyo Arts Council which was really great and lots of fun. My band Old Coyote Moon is playing this Thursday the 18th at the Auld Dubliner in Mammoth, the local coffee shop is hosting an open mic on wednesdays that's active and interesting, and hosted Wild Mountain Thyme, a local acoustic irish band, today/tnite with a great dinner offered for 9.95 as well....Luv This Town Right Now...um, what else?
I don't know. McGee Mountain is on tap for tomorrow, might be good snow, might not be, but it'll certainly be yet another fine day in The Promised Land.
Cheers!

back home, been awhile




so how to explain the last month?

some sort of dreamlike distraction that evoled into reality?

or some sort of reality that evolved into dreamlike fantasy?

one can never really know the answer to such things.
but i do know i have an entire new album of recorded music out of the deal,
i have weeks of steady surf and a few good live shows to gather from,
i have an effortless blissful feeling of joyful freedom.
NO COMPLAINTS BOUT NOTHIN'
Man if that's trouble
gimee double
cause it's GOOD.



something about the ocean, not sure exactly WHAT but it just pulls you in, won't let you go, wrestles you for fun and fires you off down the line on a train to PURE BLISS



xxoo






Oh santa cruz
waves and town and coast and farm
redwoods amidst a host of everything else


yes
you are good too.
