Neglect is an easy thing to overlook.
Days have ways of turning into the weeks that become months. I've neglected some. I've neglected these.
Lately I've been writing lots of starts of songs. Little melodies and some lyrics about being away from all the things you're usually close to, and want to be close to. That's not where I am at the moment but the book I am reading (David Malouf's Remembering Babylon), makes me feel that way (indirectly for the most part), and it's nice not to have to write too closely about the things I know. Or don't know as the case may be.
I've been writing half sentences about these— There's much satisfaction in the planting of seeds.
I'm playing at BOOGIE FESTIVAL in March. Deets here. Justin Townes Earle, The Dacios, Eagle and the Worm etc etc I was so looking forward to going to the festival, and now I get to play there too. I feel so lucky about that and the crunchy clean sheets I get to sleep in tonight.
