Every time I visit Santa Cruz, it seems completely obvious that I belong there. It's not that I'd "fit in"--I'm insufficiently young at heart for that. But when I'm there I'm constantly aware of how happy I am to be there. It makes sense: leftist politics, lots of vegetarian food, and the sun glittering in over the ocean. It's the distilled essence of what I love about California.

Then I go home and I forget.

Anyway, tonight I finally made it to an open mike in Santa Cruz. (It's hard to get down there on weeknights when you have a job.) It was fun--people were nice, listeners were receptive, and I met a bunch of friendly musicians. I hope to do some more performing there, although I have a lot to do before the big trip, so it might have to wait until fall.

Yeah. I just need to figure out a way to make a living in Santa Cruz, without destroying the good mood.

Glad you enjoyed the songs! I'm not sure what the Michael Hedges thing is about--not that I don't like him, I was just surprised recently to hear a couple of comparisons.

I see you live in San Francisco now--I'm keeping a pretty low profile right now, but I'm hoping to play some gigs in SF this fall.
