I live in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin in a house with 4 dogs, 2 big Sulcata tortoises, and a really smart woman who somehow puts up with me. ;) IT generalist by day, musician (mainly Hammond organ) by night, part-time organ technician, recreational photographer. I dig Hertha BSC & Forward Madison FC. Cyclist and hiker. Can't get back to Berlin soon enough... ;)

In his #UNGA speech President Biden will say: “Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence. But I ask you this: If we abandon the core principles of the UN Charter to appease an aggressor, can any member state feel confident that they are protected? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure? The answer is no. We must stand up to this naked aggression today to deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow."

It's our job as artists to take the shitty technology schemed up by the unholy alliance between bean counter capitalists and technohumper nerds and find the pockets they missed, to gently preserve ecstatic truth and poetry and the unknowable

@TonyStark Keep an eye on what's happening in Wisconsin and the rabid, power hungry, election ignoring Wisconsin Republicans.

Had a wonderful gig this evening at Tyranena Brewing in Lake Mills WI with the Madtown Mannish Boys...gorgeous weather for hot Chicago blues and cold brews! One of the best craft breweries in Wisconsin...and their Gemütlichkeit Oktoberfest Bier is a fine representation of that style...might not be quite in season yet but heavens it's tasty... 😉

Art Blakey to Branford Marsalis: "What I’m saying is that when Coltrane was your age, what the fuck do you think he was listening to—tapes of himself in the future?” From the liner notes of Evenings at the Village Gate.

When I said butter, I actually meant ghee. I should have clarified

Kick back and relax to this sublime jam from Madison, Wisconsin's own genre-bending ensemble Mr. Chair...classical-jazz fusion reminiscent of Snarky Puppy with its own flair. Gorgeous composition... youtube.com/watch?v=6ddZfZlBBy

Would you be welcome in this hotel?

#dogs #meme #humour #🐶

A sign saying
"Dogs are welcome in this hotel. We never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire to the blankets. We never had a dog that stole our towels and played the T.V. too loud, or had a noisy fight with his traveling companion. We never had a dog that got drunk and broke up the furniture....So if your dog can vouch for you, you’re welcome too. The Management "

Dug out my $10 yard sale Ampeg B25 I got back in 04/05 out of mothballs...took it up to the Cider pub for a jam last night. Has a nice grunt, and isn't insanely loud when opened up a bit. Needs some electronic restoration but that won't be a problem. Nice to get it back in use! Brought my trusty 90's Mexican Fender Jazz Bass with Quarter Pound pickups in it...my main go-to thunderstick... 🙂 #music #Musik #Fender #Ampeg #TubeAmp #Röhrenverstärker

It's now TWO YEARS and 126 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Indict trump for Jan 6!
