Thanks for coming to Pierrot! And for all you do for music in the Bay Area!
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work.
There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art.”
I’ve arrived here late and just want to thank you for your candor and tell you that I share the grief and rage as well.
On a lighter note, thank you for so many wonderful columns over the years. You’ve introduced me to many artists I otherwise would not have known, and often greatly enriched my appreciation of those I did.
I’m happy to have found you here and I look forward to your candid and inspiring posts.

Oh gosh Cricket...Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I greatly appreciate your presence!
Yes, today is for grief. Maybe tomorrow, too…
Friday night I will be at Everest and I hope seeing it again will begin to lift me a bit.
Wonderful! Enjoy ❤️
