I write about Courtney Marie Andrews’ poetry collection, Old Monarch, on my blog today. (Link in bio.) It’s worth the read (or listen, as it’s also available as an audiobook.) #courtneymarieandrews #firstread #poetry

Courtney Marie Andrews’ poetry collection is worth the investment. The #audiobook version is cool, too, as she reads the poems. She creates vivid word pictures. #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth #book #courtneymarieandrews

First shot down! #pfizer#covidshot

I write about the new album by #Vallens, a Toronto art-pop band, on my blog today. (Link in bio.) It’s quite propulsive.

That time (1971) the Easter Bunny came to Saudi... #raytheoncompound #jeddahlife #easterbunny

Four years ago tonight, there was this: #tiftmerritt at the #WorldCafeLive in Philadelphia. Great show. #concertmemories #livemusicisbetter

Three years ago tonight there was this at the now-shuttered Boot & Saddle in South Philly: #courtneymarieandrews singing her heart out. (Figuratively speaking, of course.) It’s one of my favorite shows of recent vintage. #concertphotography #concert #livemusicisbetter

Now streaming on the #NeilYoungArchives: Young Shakespeare, which was recorded Jan. 22nd, 1971. It features pristine sound and a sublime performance. #neilyoung #livemusic #archivaltreasure #newrelease
