George’s head and Abe’s seat

Tonight I played at Abraham Lincoln’s church. No kidding. Yes, that Abraham Lincoln. John C. Calhoun and Andrew Jackson went there, too, and Dr. King preached there a bit more recently. I can’t help but have those images run together in my mind and imagine how Abraham Lincoln would have enjoyed listening to a sermon from Dr. King at his own church, New York Avenue Presbyterian.

From deep in the Vault…

I was a “proto-blogger.”  That is to say that I started publishing “Notes From the Road” on my web site back in way 1997, laboriously chiseling them into my stone pda with a woolly mammoth tusk. Coincidentally, my first blog was published a few weeks before the word “weblog” ever appeared in print. These are […]

Back On the Road … Near You?

November 18, 2022

As the world continues to gradually reopen, I’m so enjoying being back on the road. To facilitate that process, I’ve just begun working with not one, but two new booking agents to help me organize the … Read More
