so after a brief rest on new year’s day, we’re back on the road again. the first show of the new year was last night at Gypsy Coffee in Tulsa. I have to say that Tulsa is a much better place than Oklahoma City. There are actually people there, believe it or not. Coffee shops are always a bit peculiar for me to play. One might think it would work well, since my music is essentially ambient music, but it really doesn’t. There is too much extraneous sound for my music to really work; people on dates, espresso machines, porcelain clinking, etc. The moments within the music are lost because the details aren’t there among the noise. But I always learn more about the piece when I’m performing in a space that’s not quite optimal. i also got paid with a coffee mug, rather than money. i’m into that.

we drove in snow on the way to wichita. i like driving through the snow. it removes the human element of the world a little bit. i feel that after this, it’ll only get colder. lincoln, nebraska tomorrow. but we press on, wearing many layers of clothing. the cold isn’t like this in the south.
