The project for 2025, Timing is an Art is an Axe — working in collaboration with some of my favorite musicians, recording in a duet format. A few yeas back marked a half century since receiving my first guitar — an old Rio classical — and my first lesson. Timing is an Art is an Axe toys with the very unexpected result from a random but common, innocent act of childhood. Something as pedestrian and mundane as a music lesson after school, but the weighted result -- an entire goddamned life consumed by the arts. This is not a retrospective. It's just a collection of brief observations on a lifetime battling all the hobgoblins, all the doubt, all the despair, the poverty, depression, chaos, but also the good, the joy, the adventures, the sex, the so many fuck-ups and the absolute stupid fun of taking a couple of notes for a very long walk night after night after dark night. This recording project will coalesce five decades of musical frayed ends, make the half-assed ideas make sense … maybe … string out, bring out, ring out all those strung out notes and chords … hopefully … and let them fall away and live where they may land, it is what it is … definitely. And some of my true musical heroes are already on board for this project … let’s see where it will go!
