12/9/18: In Between

In between love And trying to scheme love Who can say what we will find? ------ Tom Waits ---------------------------------------------- Ten minutes and I'll board my flight. Ten minutes and I'll be on my last leg of this, my return to Oahu. A man passes by and comments on my guitar case. "Looks like that baby's [...]

12/2/18: Joy to the Naked
