Video Flyer for Saturday

Here’s a flyer for an upcoming .357 Lover show:

Friday Night Intimate Show

I love the idea of playing in a room with no microphones. That’s a true intimate show. When Jonathan Wood Vincent told me he acquired a place with a piano for a parlor show, I immediately told him I’d love to be involved.
This Friday I will be playing a set in this parlor room. Jonathan will play as well as Lily Maase. Oh, and they’ll have a potluck dinner.

“Ghost” from Alice Wakeman

This is a song from our rock opera called Alice Wakeman. This song is from the scene where Alice realizes that no one comes to see him play but the ghosts in his castle. We performed it on a show called Fearless. To ghosts.

Parkside Show on Friday, April 16

My friend, Geoff Berner, told me he was coming to town. So, I set up this show in order to show him off to my friends. We toured together as part of the Monsters of Accordion Tour. He is an amazing performer. One of my best friends, Magic Brian, has just returned from Australia. He will perform the prestidigitation feats that he is known for.

John Titor and Eloi Cole Fan Fiction

Some background information: John Titor is the Paul Bunyan of time travel. Eloi Cole is either the James Frey of time travel or the Billy the Kid of time travel.

John Titor and Eloi Cole are sitting at a bar. John is drinking beer and Eloi is drinking 12-year-old single malt. Both are getting to the point of talking too much.
At one point, John says, “Eloi, what year did you say you came from again?”
Eloi responds, “That depends, John. What year did you come from?”

The Price is Right strategy comes to play at this moment. If Eloi says 2016, then John will say 2017. John can say whatever he wants about the year 2017 because Eloi doesn’t know what has happened in 2017. Furthermore, John can ask Eloi who won the World Series in 2016. In addition, John can always use the future civil war to combat the World Series question. Yet, there are too many chess moves for both of them so it’s best that the subject changes.

Eloi says, “What’s the best joke of the day from whence you came?”
John says, “Lisa Rinna from the old, old television show Baywatch walks into a bar. The bartender says, ‘Hey, what happened to your lips? You look 10 years younger!””
Eloi says, “And then what?”
John says, “That’s the joke. When the civil war comes, nothing is funny. Uplifting stories are preferred.”

Eloi can’t think of a move and says, “Bartender, I’ll have another Mountain Dew Code Red.” He turns to John and says, “Thank God for time machines.”

Franz Schubert’s “Im Dorfe”

Before going to bed, check out my version of “Im Dorfe” from Schubert’s Winterreise. It’s not quite a lullaby, not quite a party song. David Fairchild is on the piano. I’m still trying to master this.
