The piece in their collection which struck me the most was a three page hand-written letter to Mr. Armstrong from a childhood friend who had grown-up in the French Quarter (Vieux Carré) with him in the 1900’s… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601632007afdae55ced9e9d8/e6e80196-219d-4267-92f9-d49810f8058f/IMG_1614.jpeg Blog - Welcome to Our Wild America - Live at 1642 Bar - The letter listed all the characters, the bullies and the trouble-makers, that populated the streets at that time. “I don’t see how I didn’t get hit. Just wasn’t my time to die, man.” - L.

So far, I've posted several scenes from a play (some of which will be performed at the 1642 Bar show), a prologue to a novel, and a fable, and more. Would very much appreciate your subscribing to my feed. It's free and you'll get an email whenever I post a new piece. For me, art is all about the conversation. That's what elevates it beyond a hobby - I don't just want to write and sing and play for myself, I'm looking to connect. Would love to connect with you on here and share in the creative dialogue. Here's a sample.

Looking forward to returning to Republic of Pie in NoHo. Great little coffeehouse with tremendous pies and a stage in the back. Reminds me of Think Coffee on Mercer St. from way back. I’ll be performing a suite of tunes destined for an EP about getting fed up with people and the current state of things, building a rocket ship and taking off for the stars. I haven’t finished the story yet, but essentially, once the protagonist gets out there he misses Earth but can’t find his way home. He starts a new life on a planet where the story of Earth becomes a new origins myth. So, it’s basically the story of us. So far I’ve only written enough songs to get him to the part about being lonely. https://www.ourwildamericamusic.com/blog/october2021shows monthly 0.5 2021-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601632007afdae55ced9e9d8/1632859340702-J5VWWYE8JHQMI3ZOPA83/Our+Wild+America+%281%29.jpg Blog - October Shows - Live and Almost-Live(?)
