Commentary:

Last week, Liz and I traveled to Colorado to see some of her family. It was a great trip, including an excursion up in the mountains:

Mountain Ruins 01

Yellow and Green

Boulder Creek (iPhone)

Abandoned Cabin


I also got to spend a whole day record shopping – and, let me tell you: There are some amazing record stores in the Denver/Boulder area. Plus, I got to meet-up with a fellow member of the YouTube Vinyl Community while I was there. What a treat! Here is my latest VC video about the trip:

In other news: Cosmologies, my latest album with drummer Sam Byrd, is now, finally shipping! United did a terrific job with the re-press—it sounds fantastic.  Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and have been waiting patiently ever since. I think the wait was worth it! The vinyl edition is strictly limited to 200 copies and available only on Bandcamp.
