Residency

I'm in Nebraska at my graduate school residency. Actually, I'm currently listening to some faculty read from their work. I like some of it; others I'm not so high on. But readings are weird. I miss the music. I suppose I'm a songwriter before anything else. Although my short stories are ratcheting up.

So this residency takes place in Nebraska City at the Arbor Lodge, this big conference center slash hotel. It's beautiful, lots of bare unlumbered wood. If you didn't know, Nebraska invented arbor day because no trees grow here naturally. But they sure did bring in some beauties.

I brought my mini studio with me. Today I recorded an EP. I'll release it for free soon. It's called Shorts: it contains five short songs, three clocking in at under two minutes. It's just me and my '81 Guild so, if you like that sort of thing, then I imagine you'll dig it.
