In which the podcaster sings to you a composition of his own design, humbly made and humbly offered.
NOTE: This episode comes across much better with headphones or earbuds. A medium volume may serve it well in any case.
I accompany my vocals with djembe for the drum track and balafon for supporting melody.
As a bonus for reading the episode notes, here’s a Solstice poem that I wrote when I was much, much younger. It bears no resemblance or relationship to the song.
DECEMBER 21
It is a return
of the sun It is a
return of the sun Oooo
Spring is coming
We are ready once
again to breathe honey
Wishing you all the best possible year to come.
THE NEXT POD WILL BE CAST ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 2025 and will be the first of a three-parter in which I’ll be interviewing artists about how they survive to make their art in America. Tune in for that!
