We are all unworthy of the majesty of trees.

Hello New Orleans, I'm BACK (for ten days) baby!!! Rolled in last night with @sootandstain and my very cute and confused doggy and I've already had nostalgia trips from @pizzadelicious, @parleauxbeerlab, and @pagoda_cafe. The real trip is tonight at @snugjazz_nola though, where the Royal Roses will assemble and play together in town for the first time in TWO DAMN YEARS. I'm having lots of feelings today, but I'm mostly just happy to be back in my beloved New Orleans.

#trombone #neworleans #royalroses

The first release from @bagworm_music , Snotty Nose, is the nascent fruit of a pandemic prompted quest through the wilds of collaborative art and music spearheaded by partners in love and life Jon Ramm and @sootandstain. This track was written in March 2020 during the whiskey mornings of an uncertain reality.

Love and thanks to Luke Dennis and Matt Perrine for lending their talent and magnificence to give this creation life. This project was created through virtual communications in living-rooms of Santa Fe, Los Angeles and New Orleans.

The gig last night at Tip’s was AWESOME but what’s really important is how cool my ‘bone looked onstage. #trombone #smokemachine #tipitinas #hornsection #coolisbac @coolisbac

I had a very lovely walk in DC yesterday. The trees were blooming like crazy and I really like that sort of thing. I also really liked these colorful houses. Carry on.

Finally back home and in the rhythm of normal (hahahahaha) life again forthe first time in what feels like forever. Samantha and I did our year end excursion in Italy(!) this year and it certainly didn’t disappoint. 2 weeks in Venice with day trips to Bologna and a couple wineries (shout out to our new friends at @yeasteria_ve and @sieman_winery_and_brewery ) in the region was a surreal and educational adventure. Always happy to be home though, and I’m more than looking forward to reconnecting with friends and playing some goddamn trombone in a city that truly loves it. I missed you, New Orleans!

We recorded a live record last night! All the noises we made at Domicile in Pforzheim went out the door and onto tape in Uwe’s sweet mobile recording van. Nicole is gonna press it to wax and we’ll have a sweet LP to commemorate another excellent show and tour in the German speaking world. Tipptopp!

Zurich has very nice places to walk on a foggy fall day. @paulthibodeauxand I hoofed it for a while this morning before driving to Liestal this evening. Tomorrow we’ll be in Germany! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤤
