So ...

what was I doing when not updating? Working on making the music business safe for musicians, taking a couple of short vacations. To where?

The first was a one-way flight to St. Petersburg, where I used to live and own part of a record store. Went to the old neighborhood, visited the block where the store was located. For all the money St. Pete's spent on the waterfront, you go five blocks inland from there and it's desolate. The 600 block of Central is just brutal. The block where the store was looks pretty much the same other than the empty storefronts. The geriatric drugstore's closed, the old man's clothing store is closed. Drove back via Atlanta (stopping to visit friends) and visited Unclaimed Baggage, which I endorse. Then did Atlanta/KC in one really long day (made longer by me deciding to drive the southern route). The pic is just a very old one of me.
