Our Tuesday is on this week!We have some fresh faces in the mix @jesseebaugh is away on tour in EU so Ben Ramirez will play bass and the illustrious @catclemons will be ripping the guitar.Who knows who else may turn up! Music of the spirit cannot be denied, come one come all.

I hate to do this but I have to talk some sh*t about @lucchese .I bought these boots 2 summers ago, and they’ve fallen completely apart.The leather is cracked and split.The wooden pegs in the arch have all fallen out.The rubber heel caps made black marks all over my floor, and on the inside I’ve the opposite boots… the heels are completely ground off.I’ve owned loads of vintage Lucchese boots (side 3 is a 20 year old boot made in San Antonio) and they’ve always been great.I complained about this loss of quality to Lucchese and received a boiler plate response, saying nothing could be done for me.Absolutely last pair of @lucchese boots I will own. (Also: I bought these boots on the road, picked them up in Dallas as I drove by… they were SIZED INCORRECTLY.I wear and 11 and they were an 11.5 or 12 and had to be manufactured by Lucchese to even fit correctly to begin with, WTF?!?)

Some scenes from @monksjazz last Wednesday, thanks so much to the good folks at the club for being so patient with such a large ensemble and thanks to everyone who came to experience the music with us.This is the fight we bring, to make the culture that corrects the politics.Power must never forget it serves music on the side of freedom and peace.We build the world we wish to inhabit.
