Dearest lovely Seattlites, I’m playing this Friday at the Stepping Stone in Ballard, 8PM.

I’ll be playing with these fantastic musicians:
Colin Bradford
Jan Peter Eklund
Dustin Schmidt

And that means it’s going to be fun.
But it’s going to be even more fun with you there too!
Best!

Seattle has some really good musicians, and I’ve met some of the best of them on this trip. It also has some fun venues to play in, venues that actually respect musicians and don’t just use them to do the venue’s marketing for them. I’ve been playing here a bunch and meeting lovely fans of music too. If you’re one of them and you’ve just stumbled on my site, go here for regular updates and say ‘hello!’:

Fortunately for me, Seattle also has some lovely sunsets.
Well, I’m going to go back out now and see what other bits of loveliness are hiding around this city.
Don’t worry dearest Venice, I haven’t forgotten about you! I’ll be back home soon.
Love,
SJ

The snow is almost completely melted here in Seattle, and this snowman has been reincarnated to a puddle of water, and then on to wherever evaporation takes him.
Just in time for Chinese New Year, happy Year of the Water Dragon!
All the best,
SJ
I saw Etta James play at a blues festival when I was in high school. The otherwise loud and rambunctious crowd hushed to a silence when she walked out on stage, and all eyes and ears turned to her. She then performed ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’. It was the most emotional performance I’d ever seen, and the only time a music performance has caused me to shed a tear.
RIP Etta, thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
This is a little pic of Seattle in the snow, you can see the Space Needle through the haze in the back. I hear that I’ve been caught in Seattle in their biggest snowstorm in decades. It’s a bit slushy for the flip-flops I usually wander Venice in, but it’s lovely none-the-less.
Keep warm!
Love,

I’m in Seattle (and Portland and Vancouver) for a couple of weeks to play some shows and write some music and meet cool folks etc, I’ve decided to make Seattle my Pacific Northwest home away from Venice. Right now, I’m on the 29th floor of a building downtown and I woke up and looked out the window and felt like a little kid. It’s snowing, and I haven’t seen snow falling from the sky in a long long long time. Obviously, I’ve had too much time in sunny southern California because these snowflakes may as well be coming from Jupiter with how foreign they look to me.
I forgot how peaceful it is to watch little snow flakes gently float to the ground, and I really don’t like forgetting things like that, but then again, I do like re-discovering things like that.
I hope you’re warm and well.
Love,
SJ
