Direct

Music: Steve Stephen unreleased music

Well, we just accepted 2 offers for my Solo show next year. Both in April, I think, both on the Westcoast. Interesting. Ottmar Liebert: an evening of solo guitar + conversation – or something like that. What a trip! I’ll talk more in that first show than I have said on stage in the last 15 years combined. We might be unleashing a monster that is best left caged, eh?

This thought had me laughing this evening: maybe I’ll be performing de-constructed 21st century folk music, singer-song-writer stuff… only, instead of hearing a set of songs, you’ll get half a set of music and then half a set of words. How modern!

Scent

I am always amazed at how our nose/brain connection works… we forget a smell after a few minutes. Only to experience it brand new and fresh later. I am always struck by the amazing scent of the desert after the rain. It knocks me down every single time.

Forget-me-not flowers received their name because they are unique in that their scent triggers an on/off switch in our brain… 2 minutes on, followed by 2 minutes off, then 2 minutes on etc…
