YOU GO LEAD A QUIET LIFE

Folks,

We’re back. Stephie, Vicente and I had a ball rampaging through the Wild East on our Trio Tour culminating in our SOLD OUT show on Valentine’s Day with the Make Out Quartet at the Swedish American Hall here in San Francisco.

But once again, we’re gassing up the Econoline and taking the Mission Express out to the people. Starting this Tuesday in Des Moines and heading down into into parts unknown and then coming in for a landing with a three show stand at our home away from home in Austin – the Continental Club.

Just now, I’m sitting here listening to Bob Dylan’s “Fragments” and enjoying a cuppa. One minute Bob’s singing about how the best advice he ever got was to “Go home and lead a quiet life.” And then he turns around and asks: “You ever feel just like your brain’s been bolted to the wall?”

You go lead a quiet life, Bob. I’ve still got dreams to fulfill, you know? Sure, I’ll probably never own a guitar with my name written on the fretboard in mother of pearl, but we’re not ready to fold up the tent just yet, either. Note the cluster lunch of gigs below.

What else am I gonna do? At least I’m halfway good at it. And nobody has a better band. (And on a personal note, nobody has a better band.) Nothing is wrong, everything’s right. We’ll be out there giving ourselves, all for you, night after night, so won’t you be there with us when the deal goes down?

Again, I won’t insult with indecipherable links. You know what do to from here, right? Dig in with both hands.

Onwards,

- CP

P.S. If you want to get deeper into the real nitty-gritty with some more of my personal writing, you can now follow me over here at Substack.
