I’m sitting on a bench by the sea in Bradley Beach. Maybe a mile from Asbury Park. I’ve finally made my move here from Brooklyn and it sure is different! I can see the sea. It’s peaceful and beautiful. Joggers passing me by on the boardwalk here, folks passing me by discussing the election. The waves are still crashing on the shore. I bought a car. Unbelievable. Life goes on. Now I have to repay all rides I got over the last 20 years. 
​
A few gigs this month - On the 16 th I’m at James Mastro’s 530 Social Club in Hoboken. On the 23rd I’m opening for Willie Nile at Landmark on Main. On the 27th I’m doing the last show of the year at the 11th St Barwith Shawn and Immy so don’t miss it. And on the 28th I take off for Europe with the Light of Day See my website for those dates! I hope you’re all ok. 

And best wishes to you all,
