I’m just hanging out with my guitar this morning; we tried to match our outfits but didn’t quite make it.

Rooftop Stroll
The Orange Cat likes to get up on the roof and hunt bats. She doesn’t believe me that an eagle is going get her up there, but at least she’ll come down when I call her.

Don’t Write Them Down
I’m up early, writing. I remember when I was a kid watching Beatles documentaries and how they would say they didn’t write their songs down because if they couldn’t remember them, then how would the listeners? I just figured that’s the way it’s done, and I also don’t write my tunes down. Except one copy gets sent to the copyright office, of course.

Clive Davis
As some of you know, I love music biographies, and usually I read the stories of musicians, songwriters, producers, et al, but today I switched gears and started the autobiography of Clive Davis, the legendary music business executive. I’ll be done with this in a day or two, do you have any music biography suggestions for me?

On The Road
I spent a few months hitchhiking around Europe. When the whim struck, I’d find a bit of cardboard and write my next destination town on it. Tonight, I’m performing at Ascendant Beer Co in Portland Oregon, 6-8PM, good times guaranteed, please join me!

Plugged Back In
I took a week off from social media, it felt amazing. Folks are always telling me I need to post/interact more to help create a social media presence that will help me sell my music, and they’re right, so now I’m always evaluating everything I’m doing or thinking and wondering if I should share it online. It’s a huge waste of brain time.
After a couple of days away, I noticed my mind became a bit quieter, I was able to focus more on making things rather than thinking of things to type to people. Bliss.
Anyway, that’s my holiday story. I didn’t go someplace tropical and play in the ocean, but it was still a restful vacation. I’m back now, and even though I appreciated my break, it’s super lovely to see you again!
Let’s hang out at a show soon.
Love,
SJ
Comfy?
Orange Cat defies me on a daily basis to be as comfortable as she is in awkward situations and angles.

TBT Witzend
For my throwback-Thur pic I found one of me performing at Witzend in Venice Beach. Witzend was the best venue in LA for a while, and the owner, Jeb, was a great booker and promoter.
