Wherein I wonder if “living each day like it’s your last” is a good idea, preach about learning to enjoy failure, & get snubbed by my favorite pigeon.
Then I share a one take live recording of song I wrote this morning about New Year’s Day called “Same Old Me”
The middle B key buzzes.
I’m no Whitney Houston.
No overdubs.
No refunds.

your silly little game
as years slip away.
I ain’t selling you solutions,
or buying new delusions,
there will be no resolution
to change my ways.
