  1. My 1926 edition of "U.S. History for Schools" may be the greatest literary work ever written. No depression. No Hitler. No "lunar landing".
  2. For vaguely mysterious reasons, we are now in possession of a pink, ceramic, owl-shaped lamp. Surely this must signal an end to hard times.
  3. Today my daughter composed a new song with the refrain, "You gotta do what we do. You gotta do what we do. You gotta ice-skate everyday!".
  4. Friday I'm playing Ladybug Lemonade's show @ The Carrack Modern in Durham w/ Wigg Report, Beloved Binge & Ellertronic! on.fb.me/xlNe3L
  5. My first foray into the art of pole dancing was seriously hindered by the banjo. I need to get my priorities in order. twitter.com/curtiseller/st…
  6. Last night I watched as the wind wrenched a huge oak limb free of its trunk and send it crashing earthward. Will I remember this as an omen?
  7. Last night the VaudeVillain Revue threw their Bootlegger's Ball. I didn't have the heart to tell them that booze has been legal for decades.
  8. Tonight I'll be joining The Vaudevillain Revue for "The Bootlegger's Ball" at The Southland Ballroom in Raleigh, NC! vaudevillainrevue.com
  9. Buckeye Banjos: A short film about Greg Galbreath, a custom banjo builder from Southwest Virginia. Greg built my banjo! youtu.be/_ujS3jbYCJI
  10. This week I wrote music for a 19th century poem about digging a grave, and still had time to finish a fake campaign song for Herbert Hoover.
  11. If you wanna know joy, try watching a 4-year-old girl in ruby slippers, tap dancing to Pete Seeger's rendition of "Which Side Are You On?".
  12. Today i split my time evenly between Yip Harburg and Charles Baudelaire: a transition that proved to be less abrasive than I'd anticipated.
  13. When the sun rose yesterday I'd never have dreamt that, before midnight Donald Rumsfeld would give me a book about William Tecumseh Sherman.
  14. Right now my daughter is pulling carrots out of the dirt as a funeral procession drives by the house and Psycho Killer plays on the radio.
  15. For reasons I'd rather not divulge at the moment, I need to get my hands on a large calabash gourd. Possible reward. No questions asked.
  16. Last night I dreamed I played a private concert for Mark Twain on the set of the television show "Twin Peaks". He sat silently taking notes.
  17. This afternoon I heard a radio advertisment that offered listeners 3 quarts of oil for evach pint of blood donated to the Red Cross.
  18. My performance in Leeds was apparently a little frightening to the author of this strange review from @notitlemagazine. notitlemagazine.com/article.php?id…
  19. I've been tasked with setting to music, a poem about French sailors tormenting a hapless albatross on deck. What do you think...Bassa Nova?
  20. NEXT SHOW: Sunday, January 22 @ 7:30pm at @thewindupspace in Baltimore with the fabulous Sabrina Chap! Details here: facebook.com/events/2612721…
