There's a new song, kinda, up on the web site. It's called "Shine," and it's actually from December, so a lot of people around here and a few people elsewhere have heard it already, but it hasn't been online before.

A lot of my songs are love songs only by negation--they're about love that's gone away. When my friend Philip asked if I wanted to play anything at his wedding, all those songs seemed like bad omens. So I wrote this one--not about love lost, but about love found and love kept. It's not that my other songs are sad and this one is happy; this one, like most of them, has some joy and some pain in it. But this one's a love song.

Yeah, uh, I need to find a way to get my testing process not to notify Audioscrobbler.

I miss playing with you.

This is beautiful.

Thanks!

I'm still keeping that one Ida song in reserve for when you get back to health and travel.

I've listened to your song 3 times in a row now.

Awesome. I was just singing harmony to your new one. Our voices mix well so Ida will be great! Also: Your voice has really developed.

I will be moving back to the bay area as soon as I am "released," but I will be traveling there before then, provided I am stable enough health wise.

Do you know where you'll be traveling?

Most likely San Jose to visit friends and family.
