St. Louis Blues

My first work trip has been a bit of a blur. Somewhat surreal. And brutally cold. There's so much musical history so close - from Yank Rachell to Scott Joplin to Chuck Berry..

I finished half of Crossing to Safety on the flight out. And can't wait to finish. It doesn't have as many moving pieces as Angle of Repose, but that incisive, simple voice is there. The power of some of those sentences and observations. The nuances of the intersection of lives in motion..

Next week in South Carolina.. then back to Cali.
