It’s been 4 years since my dad passed away and I think of him often. The pain has gotten easier but it hasn’t gone away. I feel the hurt. Especially when I want to tell him something. Something I think he’d be proud of me for. Or something about my music, or something about baseball. Something about a plant or a tree. I call mom and tell her Happy Father’s Day and say thanks for choosing a great dad for us. I used an old photo of him and mom for the “Our Parents the Gods” single. Another time. Another era. But just a blip in the scheme of things. Soak it up.

The feedback from you all on the new album has been great. Thanks for adding it to your library or playlist. And thanks for those that purchased through Bandcamp. If you know of anyone that may enjoy it, please spread the word. Still a few t-shirts left on Bandcamp if you’re interested.

Lots of production/engineering projects coming up this summer including the Waterkickers, Hard Pass, Rod Brown, Dave LaBoone, Rich Strater, Goody (the movie) and others.

Catch Richard & The Twins back in Columbia on July 12 at Foxfield.

Fertilize your garden and love your neighbor.
